Open In CAN Main Wire





NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: Open in CAN Main Wire
- Open in CAN Main Wire

DESCRIPTION

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





WIRING DIAGRAM





INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
Operating the engine switch, any switches or any doors triggers related ECU and sensor communication with the CAN, which causes resistance variation.

PROCEDURE

1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal before measuring the resistances of the main wire and the branch wire.

CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

NOTICE:
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Repair Instruction - Initialization

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK DLC3

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





Standard Resistance:

NOTICE:
When the measured value is 132 Ohms or higher 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" How to Proceed With Troubleshooting after repairing the trouble area.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE CAN BRANCH WIRE CONNECTED TO DLC3 (CANH, CANL)
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS MAIN WIRE (NO. 2 JUNCTION CONNECTOR - ECM)

(a) Disconnect the E69 No. 2 junction connector connector.





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

Standard Resistance:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE CAN MAIN WIRE CONNECTED TO ECM (ECM - NO. 1 JUNCTION CONNECTOR)

OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal

10. CONNECT CONNECTOR

(a) Reconnect the E69 No. 2 junction connector connector.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

11. CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS MAIN WIRE (NO. 3 JUNCTION CONNECTOR - COMBINATION METER)

(a) Disconnect the E75 No. 3 junction connector connector.





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

Standard Resistance:
