DESCRIPTION

A short to GND is suspected in the CAN bus wire when the resistance between terminals 4 (CG) and 6 (CANH), or terminals 4 (CG) and 14 (CANL) of the DLC3 is below 200 Ω.

Symptoms

Trouble Area
The resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 4 (CG), or terminals 14 (CANL) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3 is below 200 Ω.
  • Short to GND in CAN bus wire
  • ECM
  • Network gateway ECU
  • Skid control ECU with Actuator
  • Steering angle sensor
  • Yaw rate sensor
  • Distance control ECU
  • Junction connector
  • CAN junction connector

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.
