CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING

Note


  • Refer to Diagnosis System for the DTCs for the CAN communication.

  • Refer to troubleshooting of each system if DTCs regarding the CAN communication system are not output.

  • After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Click here.

Tech Tips

*: Use the intelligent tester.

  4. CHECK AND CLEAR DTCS*

    Tech Tips


    • CAN communication DTCs are stored when there is an open or short in any of the communication wires. Any problems with the power source of a corresponding ECU or sensor, or problems in the ECU or the sensor itself also cause these DTCs to be stored.

    • If a CAN communication wire connector is disconnected with the power switch on (IG), the ECUs of the corresponding system and related systems store a DTC.

  5. CHECK DLC3 BRANCH LINE AND V1 BUS MAIN LINE (CANH - CANL)

    Note


    • Turn the power switch off before measuring the resistances between CAN main bus lines and between CAN bus branch lines.

    • Turn the power switch off before inspecting CAN bus lines for a ground short.

    • After the power switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder warning system are not operating.

    • Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the power switch, any other switches or the doors. If any doors need to be opened in order to check connectors, open the doors and leave them open.

    Tech Tips


    • Operating the power switch, any other switches or a door triggers related ECU and sensor communication on the CAN. This communication will cause the resistance value to change.

    • Even after DTCs are cleared, if a DTC is stored again after driving the vehicle for a while, the malfunction may be occurring due to vibration of the vehicle. In such a case, wiggling the ECUs or wire harness while performing the inspection below may help determine the cause of the malfunction.

      Note


      • The systems (ECUs and sensors) that adopt CAN communication vary depending on the vehicle and optional equipment. Check which systems (ECUs and sensors) are installed on the vehicle Click here.

      • Non-installed ECUs or sensors will not be displayed. Do not mistake them for being in communication stop mode.

      • The ECUs and sensors that repeatedly appear and disappear from the screen during this check are considered normal. (The response to the intelligent tester and its display are affected by signals output from other ECUs which have an open circuit in either of their CAN bus branch lines.)

      Tech Tips


      • The ECUs connected to the V2 bus and power management bus are displayed on the screen by the power management control ECU.

      • The ECUs connected to the CAN MS bus are displayed on the screen by the main body ECU.

  10. RECHECK DTC

    Tech Tips


    • Sometimes CAN communication system DTCs are output, but all ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed on the intelligent tester. In this case, previous or history DTCs may indicate the cause of the problem.

    • ECUs related to a problem in the CAN bus will store DTCs to indicate communication malfunctions. Communication stop mode in the CAN bus can be determined by comparing the combination of DTCs that have been set. Refer to DTC Combination Table for the CAN bus.

    • The power management control ECU will store communication error DTCs when the ECUs connected to the V2 bus and power management bus cannot communicate, or if a network malfunction occurs.

    • The main body ECU will store communication error DTCs when the ECUs connected to the CAN MS bus cannot communicate, or if a network malfunction occurs.
