- Open in One Side of CAN Branch Line

DESCRIPTION

If 2 or more ECUs and/or sensors do not appear on the Techstream's "CAN Bus Check" screen, one side of the CAN branch wire may be open. (One side of the CANH [branch wire] /CANL [branch wire] of the ECU and/or sensor is open.)





*: for 4WD

WIRING DIAGRAM









INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Turn the ignition switch off before measuring the resistance of the main wire and the branch wire.
* After the ignition switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder buzzer are not in operation.
* Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any switches or doors. If doors need to be opened in order to check connectors, open the doors and leave them open.

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