It is very difficult to find the exact location of the problem. Replace the damaged fiber-optic cable and lay a new wire parallel to the defective fiber-optic cable.

Select the damaged fiber-optic cable components with the "Guided Fault Finding" or "Guided Functions" from the vehicle diagnosis tester menu options.

A fiber-optic cable that needs repair is represented by a "yellow" color.

Procedure:

- Choose "Guided Fault Finding" or "Guided Functions" in the vehicle diagnosis tester.

- Press the "GO TO" button.

- Select "Functions/Component selection".

- Select "Body".

- Select "Electrical Equipment".

- Select "01 - OBD-capable systems".

- Choose "ring break diagnosis".

- Remove the affected components.

- Disconnect the connector from the components.

- Assemble the fiber-optic cable, refer to => [ Fiber-Optic Cable, Assemble ] Fiber-Optic Cable, Assemble.

It is not permitted to twist together 2 fiber optic cables or one fiber optic cable with a copper wire.
