Short in CAN Bus Lines

NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: Short in CAN Bus Lines
- Short in CAN Bus Lines

DESCRIPTION

The CAN bus lines are considered to be shorted when the resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 14 (CANL) of the DLC3 is below 54 Ohms.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Turn the engine switch off before measuring the resistance of CAN bus main wires and CAN bus branch wires.
* After the engine switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder warning system are not operating.
* Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the engine 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 engine switch, any switches, or any doors triggers related ECU and sensor communication with the CAN. This communication will cause the resistance value to change.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK FOR SHORT IN CAN BUS WIRES (DLC3 BRANCH LINE)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Disconnect the DLC3 branch line connector (J8) from the CAN LH junction connector B side (w/o earth terminal).





NOTICE:
* Before disconnecting the connector, make a note of where it is connected.
* Reconnect the connector to its original position.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.





Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE DLC3 BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. RECONNECT CONNECTOR

(a) Reconnect the DLC3 branch line connector (J8) to the CAN LH junction connector B side (w/o earth terminal).

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK FOR SHORT IN CAN BUS WIRES (BRANCH LINE)

(a) Connect the probes of an ohmmeter to terminals 6 (CANH) and 14 (CANL) of the DLC3.





(b) While observing the resistance value shown on the tester, disconnect connectors J1, J3, J4, J5, J9, J82, J83 and J116 from the CAN LH junction connector or CAN RH junction connector one by one until the resistance becomes normal (between 54 and 69 Ohms).

HINT
Disconnect the branch line connectors other than those of the DLC3.

NOTICE:
Do not reconnect the disconnected connectors until this inspection is complete because there may be a short in 2 or more branch lines.

Result:





(c) When there is a short in one or more of the branch lines:

(1) Reconnect all of the connectors to the CAN junction connector, except for the one that was disconnected last (the short-circuited bus line). Check that the resistance shown on the tester is normal (between 54 and 69 Ohms) to confirm that there is a short in the one branch line only.

HINT
* The connectors connected to the CAN junction connector can be distinguished according to the color of the communication bus lines and the shape of the connectors.
* Reconnecting the connectors to non-specified positions on the CAN junction connector does not affect system operation. However, it is preferred to reconnect the connectors to their specified positions to avoid negative effects on the wiring such as tension on the wiring harnesses, and to make future maintenance easier.

B -- RECONNECT CONNECTOR
A -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK FOR SHORT IN CAN BUS WIRES (GATEWAY ECU MAIN BUS LINE)

(a) Disconnect the gateway ECU main bus line connector (J84) from the CAN RH junction connector B side (w/o earth terminal).





NOTICE:
* Before disconnecting the connector, make a note of where it is connected.
* Reconnect the connector to its original position.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.





Standard Resistance:





Result:





B -- RECONNECT CONNECTOR
A -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK FOR SHORT IN CAN BUS WIRES (ECM MAIN BUS LINE)

(a) Disconnect the ECM main bus line connector (J2) from the CAN LH junction connector A side (w/ earth terminal).





NOTICE:
* Before disconnecting the connector, make a note of where it is connected.
* Reconnect the connector to its original position.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.





Standard Resistance:





HINT
Measure the resistance with the gateway ECU main bus line connector (J84) disconnected.

Result:





B -- RECONNECT CONNECTOR
A -- Continue to next step.

6. CHECK CAN LH JUNCTION CONNECTOR

(a) Disconnect the CAN main bus line connector (J7) from the CAN LH junction connector B side (w/o earth terminal).





NOTICE:
* Before disconnecting the connector, make a note of where it is connected.
* Reconnect the connector to its original position.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.





Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPLACE CAN LH JUNCTION CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

7. RECONNECT CONNECTOR

(a) Reconnect the CAN main bus line connector (J7) to the CAN LH junction connector B side (w/o earth terminal).

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

8. CHECK CAN RH JUNCTION CONNECTOR

(a) Disconnect the CAN main bus line connector (J81) from the CAN RH junction connector A side (w/ earth terminal).





NOTICE:
* Before disconnecting the connector, make a note of where it is connected.
* Reconnect the connector to its original position.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.





Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE CAN BUS MAIN WIRE (CAN LH JUNCTION CONNECTOR - CAN RH JUNCTION CONNECTOR)

OK -- REPLACE CAN RH JUNCTION CONNECTOR

9. RECONNECT CONNECTOR

(a) Reconnect the connector for the short-circuited branch line to the CAN junction connector (the connector that caused the bus line resistance to become normal (between 54 and 69 Ohms) when it was disconnected).

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

10. CHECK FOR SHORT IN CAN BUS WIRES

(a) Disconnect the connector that includes terminals CANH and CANL from the ECU (or sensor) to which the short-circuited branch line is connected CAN Communication System.

Standard Resistance:





HINT
If the resistance becomes normal (between 54 and 69 Ohms) when the connector is disconnected from the ECU (or sensor), there may be a short in the ECU (or sensor).
