Check CAN Bus Lines for Short Circuit





NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: Check CAN Bus Lines for Short Circuit
- Check CAN Bus Lines for Short Circuit

DESCRIPTION

There may be a short circuit in the CAN main wire and/or CAN branch wire when the resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 14 (CANL) of the DLC3 is below 54 Ohms.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Turn the ignition switch off before measuring the resistances of the CAN main wire and the CAN branch wire.
* After the ignition switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder warning system are not in operation.
* Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any other switches or the doors. If doors need to be opened in order to check connectors, open the doors and leave them open.

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

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Disconnect the D71 CAN No. 2 junction connector.

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