Checking connectors and bus wire
Note! Remember that the CAN network is only a communications network. There are therefore no fuses, switches and sensors on the CAN bus. Check the resistance as described below (see references).
Note! To maintain the correct values the battery should be disconnected when measuring resistance.
Check the bus wire for a short circuit to ground as described in Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
Also check the intermediate connectors for contact resistance and oxidation as described in Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults and for a loose contact as described in Checking wiring and terminals. Intermittent faults Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults.
Hint: If the fault is found before all the wires below have been checked trouble-shooting is not necessary on the wires.
The following wires and connectors should be checked to locate the short circuit.
