DESCRIPTION
The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) communicates with the windshield wiper motor and link assembly (wiper ECU), windshield wiper switch assembly and rain sensor via LIN communication. If a malfunction occurs in the LIN communication line and a communication error occurs, this DTC is stored.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Memory | DTC Output from |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
B1373 | Lost Communication with Wiper System LIN BUS | When the battery voltage is 9.5 V or more, a malfunction in the communication or LIN communication line between the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) and components of the wiper system occurs for 7 seconds or more 3 times consecutively. |

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
Before replacing the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), refer to Service Bulletin.
PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) - FRONT WIPER MOTOR AND LINK ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the J9 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
(b) Disconnect the i1 front wiper motor and link assembly connector.
(c) Disconnect the J31 windshield wiper switch assembly connector.
(d) Disconnect the U3 rain sensor connector (w/ Auto Wiper System).
(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
J9-8 (LIN3) - i1-2 (MPX1) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J9-8 (LIN3) - J31-7 (MPX1) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J9-8 (LIN3) - U3-3 (MPX) * | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J9-8 (LIN3) or i1-2 (MPX1) or J31-7 (MPX1) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J9-8 (LIN3) or i1-2 (MPX1) or J31-7 (MPX1) or U3-3 (MPX) - Body ground * | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
