Before servicing (including installation/removal, inspection and replacement of parts), be sure to read the precautionary notice for the Supplemental Restraint System Click here.

  4. BUS LINE REPAIR


    1. A005JQV

      After repairing the bus line with solder, wrap the repaired part with vinyl tape Click here.

      Note


      • The CANL bus line and CANH bus line must be installed together.

      • When installing the CAN bus lines, be sure to twist them.

      • CAN bus lines are likely to be influenced by noise if the bus lines are not twisted together.

      • The difference in length between the CANL bus line and CANH bus line should be less than 100 mm (3.94 in.).

      • Leave approximately 80 mm (3.15 in.) loose in the twisted wires around the connectors.
