INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the ignition switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key, switches or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.
* After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work Service Precautions.
* Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output How to Proceed With Troubleshooting.
* After performing repairs, perform the DTC check procedure and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.
* DTC check procedure: Turn the ignition switch to ON, turn the blind spot monitor system on using the blind spot monitor main switch (ON/OFF switch), wait at least 31 seconds, and then drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more at least 5 minutes. Check that the warning light remains off after turning off following the initial light check.
* After the repair, perform CAN Bus Check and check that all the ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed Diagnosis System.

HINT
* Operating the ignition 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.
* Connectors that connect to the CAN junction connector can be distinguished by color of their CAN bus lines. When the connectors have been disconnected from the CAN junction connector, reconnecting the connectors to non-original positions on the CAN junction connector does not affect system performance. However, it is preferred to reconnect the connectors to their original positions to avoid negative effects on the wiring such as tension on the wiring harnesses, and to make future maintenance easier.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK FOR SHORT IN CAN BUS LINES (DLC3 BRANCH LINE)

(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

(b) Disconnect the DLC3 branch line connector (I96) from the CAN No. 1 junction connector.

OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK FOR SHORT IN CAN BUS LINES (BRANCH LINE)

(a) Reconnect the DLC3 branch line connector (I96) to the CAN No. 1 junction connector.

(b) Connect the probes of an ohmmeter to terminals 6 (CANH) and 14 (CANL) of the DLC3.

(c) While observing the resistance value shown on the tester, disconnect connectors I95, I97, I100, I102, I103, I105, I106, I107, I108, I111 and I173 from the CAN No. 1 junction connector or CAN No. 2 junction connector one by one until the resistance becomes normal (between 54 and 69 Ohms).

HINT
Disconnect the branch line connectors other than those of the DLC3.

NOTICE:
Do not reconnect the disconnected connectors until this inspection is complete because there may be a short in 2 or more branch lines.

Result:





(d) When there is a short in one or more of the branch lines:

(1) Reconnect all of the connectors to the CAN J/C, except for the one that was disconnected last (the short-circuited bus line). Check that the resistance shown on the tester is normal (between 54 and 69 Ohms) to confirm that there is a short in the one branch line only.

HINT
* Connectors that connect to the CAN junction connector can be distinguished by the color of their CAN bus lines.
* Reconnecting the connectors to non-original positions on the CAN junction connector does not affect system performance. However, it is preferred to reconnect the connectors to their original positions to avoid negative effects on the wiring such as tension on the wiring harnesses, and to make future maintenance easier.

3. CHECK FOR SHORT IN CAN BUS LINES (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY MAIN BUS LINE)

(a) Disconnect the combination meter assembly main bus line connector (I94) from the CAN No. 1 junction connector.
