Title: NETWORKING: LIN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: LIN Communication Circuit; 2017 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2016 -        ]

LIN Communication Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When a switch of the air conditioning control assembly or air conditioning control assembly No. 2 are operated, the air conditioning control assembly or air conditioning control assembly No. 2 uses LIN communication to communicate with air conditioning amplifier assembly. If a switch of the air conditioning control assembly or air conditioning control assembly No. 2 does not operate properly, a problem with the LIN communication between the air conditioning control assembly or air conditioning control assembly No. 2 and air conditioning control amplifier may be causing the malfunction.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When using the Techstream with the ignition switch off to troubleshoot:

    Connect the Techstream to the vehicle, and turn a courtesy switch on and off at 1.5 second intervals until communication between the Techstream and vehicle begins.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
