INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: Operating the ignition switch, any switches or any doors triggers related ECU and sensor communication with the CAN, which causes resistance variation.

PROCEDURE

1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal before measuring the resistances of the main wire and the branch wire.
CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS WIRE (4WD CONTROL ECU BRANCH WIRE)





(a) Disconnect the A28 4WD control ECU connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE 4WD CONTROL ECU BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR (CANH, CANL)
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (4WD CONTROL ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)
(a) Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
