Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual: Check Bus 1 Line for Short to +B

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual / Power Source & Network / Networking / Can Communication System / Check Bus 1 Line for Short to +B

DESCRIPTION

There may be a short circuit between one of the CAN bus lines and +B when there is no resistance between terminal 23 (CA1H) of the network gateway ECU and terminal 16 (BAT) of the DLC3, or terminal 8 (CA1L) of the network gateway ECU and terminal 16 (BAT) of the DLC3.

Symptom

Trouble Area

There is no resistance between terminal 23 (CA1H) of the network gateway ECU and terminal 16 (BAT) of the DLC3, or terminal 8 (CA1L) of the network gateway ECU and terminal 16 (BAT) of the DLC3.
  • Short in CAN main bus line
  • Short in CAN branch line
  • Clearance warning ECU assembly (w/ Intuitive Parking Assist System)
  • Parking assist ECU (w/ Panoramic View Monitor System)
  • Forward recognition camera
  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly
  • Rear television camera assembly
  • Blind spot monitor sensor LH (w/ Blind Spot Monitor System)
  • Network gateway ECU
  • No. 3 CAN junction connector
  • No. 10 CAN junction connector

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

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.

    Click here

  • 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 1 minute or more. Then operate the suspected malfunctioning system and drive the vehicle at 60 km/h (37 mph) or more for 5 minutes 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.

    Click here

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.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR SHORT TO +B IN CAN BUS LINE (NETWORK GATEWAY ECU)

(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

(b) Disconnect the J75 network gateway ECU connector.

2.

CHECK FOR SHORT TO +B IN CAN BUS LINE (NO. 10 CAN JUNCTION CONNECTOR)

(a) Reconnect the J75 network gateway ECU connector.

(b) Disconnect the S56, S57, S58 and S59 No. 10 CAN junction connectors.

HINT:

  • Connectors that connect to the CAN junction connector can be distinguished by the color of their CAN bus lines.
  • Before disconnecting the connectors, make a note of where they are connected.
  • Reconnecting the connectors to non-original positions on the CAN junction connector does not affect system performance. However, it is preferred to reconnect the connectors to their original positions to avoid negative effects on the wiring such as tension on the wiring harnesses, and to make future maintenance easier.
