Open in One Side of CAN Branch Line





NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: Open in One Side of CAN Branch Line
- Open in One Side of CAN Branch Line

DESCRIPTION

If 2 or more ECUs and/or sensors do not appear on the Techstream "CAN Bus Check" screen, one side of the CAN branch wire may be open (One side of the CANH [branch wire]/CANL [branch wire] of the ECU and/or sensor is open).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
* Perform the following inspection for the ECUs (sensors) which are not displayed on the Techstream. If a malfunction cannot be identified, perform the following inspections for the ECUs (sensors) connected to the CAN communication system.
* Do not remove the center airbag sensor and ECM, as they are the end parts of the circuit. If removed, CAN communication will not be possible.
* The open circuit confirmation of the center airbag sensor, ECM and main wire is performed in the Check CAN Bus Line procedure of How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. This inspection only has procedures for checking for an open circuit on one side of the CAN branch wire.

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:
* w/ Navigation System:
After the engine switch is turned off, the HDD navigation system requires approximately 6 minutes to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, wait 6 minutes or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
* When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Repair Instruction - Initialization.
