W/Harness Inspection





Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminal condition. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?
YES
1) Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
1) Go to "Signal circuit inspection" procedure.

Signal Circuit Inspection

1. Ignition "OFF".
2. Disconnect the HECU harness connector.
3. Measure resistance between terminal "11" of the HECU harness connector and terminal "15" of the HECU harness connector.
A. Specification : Approx. 60 Ohms




4. Is the measured resistance within specifications?
YES
1) Go to "CAN Bus Short (to ground) Inspection" procedure.
NO
1) Check for open or short in the CAN signal harness between the terminal "11" of the HECU harness connector and the terminal "15" of the HECU harness connector. Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

CAN Bus Short (to ground) Inspection

1. Ignition "OFF".
2. Disconnect the HECU harness connector.
3. Measure resistance between terminal "11,15" of the HECU harness connector and chassis ground.
A. Specification : Approx. Infinity Ohms




4. Is the measured resistance within specifications?
YES
1) Go to "CAN Bus Short (to battery) Inspection" procedure.
NO
1) Check for short to ground in CAN HIGH signal harness in case of abnormal resistance measured between terminal "11" of the HECU harness connector and chassis ground. Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.
2) Check for short to ground in CAN LOW signal harness in case of abnormal resistance measured between terminal "15" of the HECU harness connector and chassis ground. Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.

CAN Bus Short (to battery) Inspection

1. Ignition "OFF".
2. Disconnect the HECU harness connector.
3. Measure voltage between terminal "11,15" of the HECU harness connector and chassis ground.
A. Specification : Below. 0.2V




4. Is the measured voltage within specifications?
YES
1) Go to "CAN Bus Short (between HIGH and LOW) Inspection" procedure.
NO
1) Check for short to battery in CAN HIGH signal harness in case of abnormal resistance measured between terminal "11" of the HECU harness connector and chassis ground. Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.
2) Check for short to battery in CAN LOW signal harness in case of abnormal resistance measured between terminal "15" of the HECU harness connector and chassis ground. Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.

CAN Bus Short (between HIGH and LOW) Inspection

1. Ignition "OFF".
2. Disconnect all the connector related to CAN such as HECU, PCM, EPS, ECS harness connector.
3. Measure resistance between terminal "11,15" of the HECU harness.
A. Specification : Approx. Infinity Ohms




4. Is the measured resistance within specifications?
YES
1) Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO
1) Check for short in CAN signal harness between terminal "11" of the HECU harness connector and terminal "15" of the HECU harness connector. Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.
