Short to B+ in CAN Bus Line

CAN COMMUNICATION: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: Short to B+ in CAN Bus Line
- Short to B+ in CAN Bus Line

DESCRIPTION

A short to B+ is suspected in the CAN bus wire when the resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 16 (BAT), or terminals 14 (CANL) and 16 (BAT) of the DLC3 is below 6 kOhms.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Turn the ignition switch off before measuring the resistance of the CAN main wire and CAN branch wires.
* After the ignition switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder warning system are not operating.
* 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 other switches or any triggers related ECU and sensor communication on the CAN, which would cause resistance reading variations.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE (DLC3 BRANCH WIRE)

(a) Cable disconnect from the battery negative (-) terminal.

(b) Disconnect the DLC3 branch wire gray connector (E62) from the No. 1 CAN J/C "B" side (without earth terminal).

HINT
E62 connector color: Gray

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

Standard resistance:

(d) Reconnect the DLC3 branch wire connector (E62) to the No. 1 CAN J/C "B" side (without earth terminal).

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE DLC3 BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE (NO. 1 CAN J/C SIDE)

(a) Disconnect the CAN main bus wire white connector (E42) from the No. 1 CAN J/C "A" side (with earth terminal).

HINT
E42 connector color: White

(b) Measure the resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 16 (BAT), and between terminals 14 (CANL) and 16 (BAT) of the DLC3 each time a connector is disconnected.

Standard resistance:

OK -- CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE (NO. 2 CAN J/C)
NG -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE

(a) Disconnect connectors from the No. 1 CAN J/C one at a time.

HINT
Disconnect the ECU and sensor connectors other than the DLC3 branch wires and CAN main bus wires between the No. 1 CAN J/C.

(b) Measure the resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 16 (BAT), and between terminals 14 (CANL) and 16 (BAT) of the DLC3 each time a connector is disconnected.

NOTICE:
Do not reconnect the disconnected connectors until this inspection is complete because there may be a short to B+ in 2 or more CAN bus wires.

Result:

(c) When there is a short to B+ in one or more of the bus wires that connect to an ECU (or sensor):

(1) Reconnect all of the connectors to the No. 1 CAN J/C, except for the one that was disconnected last (the bus wire that is shorted to B+). Check that the resistance shown on the tester is normal (6 kOhms or more) to confirm that there is a short to B+ in one bus wire only.

HINT
* The connectors connected to the No. 1 CAN J/C can be distinguished according to the color of the communication bus wires and the shape of the connectors.
* Reconnecting the connectors to non-specified positions on the No. 1 CAN J/C does not affect system operation. However, it is preferred to reconnect the connectors to their specified positions to avoid negative effects on the wiring such as tension on the wiring harnesses, and to make future maintenance easier.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

4. RECONNECT CONNECTOR

(a) Reconnect the connector of the bus wire that is shorted to B+ to the No. 1 CAN J/C (the connector that caused the bus wire resistance to change to 6 kOhms or more when it was disconnected).

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE

(a) Disconnect the connector that includes terminals CANH and CANL from the ECU (or sensor) to which the bus wire shorted to B+ is connected. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

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

Standard resistance:

HINT
If the resistance changes to 6 kOhms or higher when the connector is disconnected from the ECU (or sensor), there may be a short in the ECU (or sensor).

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE CORRESPONDING ECU OR SENSOR BUS WIRE OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE CORRESPONDING ECU OR SENSOR

6. CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE (NO. 2 CAN J/C)

(a) Reconnect the CAN main bus wire connector (E42) to the No. 1 CAN J/C "A" side (with earth terminal).

(b) Disconnect the No. 2 CAN J/C connector (A40) (rear of the vehicle).

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

Standard resistance:

OK -- CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE (ECU, SENSOR)
NG -- Continue to next step.

7. CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE (NO. 1 CAN J/C)

(a) Disconnect the No. 2 CAN J/C connector (E41) (front of the vehicle).

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

Standard resistance:

Result:

D -- CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE (ECU, SENSOR)

C -- REPAIR OR REPLACE ACCESSORY GATEWAY BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR

B -- REPAIR OR REPLACE CAN BUS MAIN WIRE (NO. 1 CAN J/C - NO. 2 CAN J/C)

A -- REPLACE NO. 2 CAN J/C

8. CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE (NO. 2 CAN J/C)

(a) Disconnect the No. 2 CAN J/C connector (A40) (Rear of the vehicle).

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

Standard resistance:

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

9. CHECK FOR SHORT TO B+ IN CAN BUS WIRE (ECU, SENSOR)

(a) Reconnect the No. 1 CAN J/C and No. 2 CAN J/C connectors.

(b) Disconnect the connector that includes terminals CANH and CANL from the ECU (or sensor) to which the bus wire shorted to B+ is connected CAN Communication System.
