Check Bus 3 Line for Short to GND |
DESCRIPTION
There may be a short circuit between one of the CAN bus wires and GND when there is no resistance between terminal 6 (CA3H) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) and terminal 4 (CG) of the DLC3, or terminal 21 (CA3L) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) and terminal 4 (CG) of the DLC3, or terminal 19 (CAYH) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) and terminal 4 (CG) of the DLC3, or terminal 20 (CAYL) of the central gateway ECU (network gateway ECU) and terminal 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
NOTICE:
-
Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output.

- Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the ignition switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key or any switches, or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 10 minutes or more before measuring the resistance.
-
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

Some parts must be initialized and set when replacing or removing and installing parts.

-
After performing repairs, perform the DTC check procedure and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.
DTC check procedure: Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 1 minute or more. Then operate the suspected malfunctioning system and drive the vehicle at 60 km/h (37 mph) or more for 5 minutes or more.
-
After the repair, perform the CAN bus check and check that all the ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed as normal.

-
The following malfunctions may occur if a radio and display receiver assembly from another vehicle is installed to this vehicle. Therefore, when replacing the radio and display receiver assembly, be sure to replace it with new one.
- Communication malfunction DTC is output
- Does not operate normally
HINT:
- Operating the ignition switch, any switches or any doors triggers related ECU and sensor communication with the CAN, which causes 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 may help determine the cause of the malfunction.
PROCEDURE
|
1. |
CHECK FOR SHORT TO GND IN CAN BUS WIRE (NO. 5 CAN JUNCTION CONNECTOR) |
(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
(b) Disconnect the No. 5 CAN junction connector.

CHECK FOR SHORT TO GND IN CAN BUS WIRE (ECU, SENSOR) |
(a) Reconnect all wire harness connectors.
|
(b) Disconnect the connector that includes terminals CANH and CANL from the ECU or sensor to which the bus wire shorted to GND is connected. Click here
