Checking the connectors and bus cable
Note! Remember that the CAN network is only a communication network. There are no fuses, contact breakers or sensors on the CAN bus.
Note! The battery must be disconnected to obtain the correct values when measuring the resistance between the CAN cables.
Check the bus cable. Check for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault. Check the intermediate connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Hint: If the fault is detected before all the following cables have been examined, select Continue.
The following cables and connectors should be examined to localize a short-circuit.

Verification
Hint: After the repair it is necessary to check that the fault has been rectified.
- Ignition off.
- Connect connectors, install components, etc.
- Ignition on for at least 10 seconds.
Check that diagnostic trouble code status is showing Intermittent.
Is the status of the diagnostic trouble code Intermittent?
Yes - VERIFIED
No - VERIFICATION FAILED
------------------------
VERIFIED - Fault Found

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - FAULT-TRACING FAILED
No - Attempt New Test
------------------------
FAULT-TRACING FAILED - No Fault Found
Attempt New Test - Checking the connectors and bus cable
