  • Main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) branch line or connector
  • Power source circuit of main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) or instrument panel junction block assembly
  • Main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) or instrument panel junction block assembly ground circuit
  • Main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) or instrument panel junction block assembly

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the engine switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key or any switches, or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.
  • After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

  • Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output.

  • After performing repairs, perform the DTC check procedure and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.
  • DTC check procedure: Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait for at least 20 seconds. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or more for 7 seconds or more.
  • After the repair, perform the CAN bus check and check that all the ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
  • If the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) is replaced, refer to Registration.

HINT:

  • Operating the engine switch, any other switches or a door triggers related ECU and sensor communication on the CAN. This communication will cause the resistance value to change.
  • Even after DTCs are cleared, if a DTC is stored again after driving the vehicle for a while, the malfunction may be occurring due to vibration of the vehicle. In such a case, wiggling the ECUs or wire harness while performing the inspection below may help determine the cause of the malfunction.
