CAN Communication System

NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: U0232: Lost Communication with Blind Spot Monitor Slave Module
U0232 - Lost Communication with Blind Spot Monitor Slave Module

DESCRIPTION

HINT
This diagnosis procedure is for when DTC U0232 is output by the network gateway ECU (Techstream display: Gateway).

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 22 seconds, and then drive the vehicle at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or more.
* 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.

PROCEDURE

1. RECONFIRM DTC OUTPUT

(a) Reconfirm DTCs.

HINT
If DTC U1002 is output from Gateway of the network gateway ECU, this indicates a sub bus 2 malfunction. Troubleshoot for DTC U1002 and check for malfunctions in sub bus 2.

Result:

B -- GO TO DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTC U1002
A -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS LINES (BLIND SPOT MONITOR SENSOR LH BRANCH LINE)

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

(b) Disconnect the blind spot monitor sensor LH connector.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE CAN BRANCH LINE OR CONNECTOR (BLIND SPOT MONITOR SENSOR LH)
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)

(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:
