DESCRIPTION

There may be an open circuit in the CAN main bus wire and/or the DLC3 branch wire when the resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 14 (CANL) of the DLC3 is 69 Ω or higher.

Symptom

Trouble Area

Resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 14 (CANL) of the DLC3 is 69 Ω or higher.
  • CAN main bus wire or connector
  • Junction connector
  • CAN junction connector
  • DLC3 branch wire or connector
  • Network gateway ECU
  • ECM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:

  • Turn the ignition switch off before measuring the resistances of CAN bus main wires and CAN bus branch wires
  • After the ignition switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder warning system are not in operation.
  • Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any other switches, or the doors. If any 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. This communication will cause the resistance value to change

1 CHECK DLC3

 CHECK DLC3
  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Result

NOTICE: When the measured value is 133 Ω or more and a CAN communication system diagnostic trouble code is output, there may be a fault besides disconnection of the DLC3 branch wire. For that reason, troubleshooting should be performed again from "HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING" (See page CA-7 ) after repairing the trouble area.

2 CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS MAIN WIRE (ECM CAN MAIN BUS WIRE)

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS MAIN WIRE (ECM CAN MAIN BUS WIRE)
  2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
  3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
