Check CAN Bus Line For Short to GND





CAN COMMUNICATION: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: Check CAN Bus Line for Short to GND
- Check CAN Bus Line for Short to GND

DESCRIPTION

There may be a short circuit between the CAN bus line and GND when there is no resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 4 (CG) or terminals 14 (CANL) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Turn the ignition switch off before measuring the resistances of the CAN main wire and the CAN branch wire.
* 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 the doors need to be opened in order to check the 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, which causes the resistance variation.
* 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 will help determine the cause of the malfunction.
