Determining Malfunctioning Part (MS-CAN) - Multiplex Communication System
DETERMINING MALFUNCTIONING PART (MS-CAN) [MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (L3 WITH TC)]
CAUTION:
- If the malfunctioning part is detected in the communication line, before disconnecting the related connector for inspection, press the connector in the connection direction to verify that there is no looseness or disconnection.
- When disconnecting the connector, verify that there is no damage, deformation, or corrosion of the connector terminals.
1. Verify the following for the modules related to the CAN system.
- Communication error DTCs
- Malfunctioning module
- Display status of the air conditioner/audio control on the multi information display when the climate control unit, or either the audio unit is operated.
- The operation condition of the SIRIUS satellite radio system and the Bluetooth system and the audio amplifier.
2. Look for a DTC display pattern and system operation status in tandem which match.
NOTE:
- A hyphen (-) in the DTC output pattern cell indicates that the DTC may or may not be displayed depending on the malfunction detection conditions. If it is not displayed, the malfunctioning location can be determined by checking the crosses (x) and asterisks (*).
3. Refer to the matching tandem diagnostic results (A to K) and inspect the possible cause and inspection item.
4. Perform the DTC inspection after the repair procedure.
- If any DTC is displayed, return to Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.
