Diagnostic Item 4: Diagnose shorts between CAN_H and L lines
 
 
cautionWhen servicing a CAN bus line, ground yourself by touching a metal object such as an unpainted water pipe. If you fail to do, a component connected to the CAN bus line may be broken.
 
 
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
When all of the following conditions are met, the scan tool (M.U.T.-III) determines that a short circuit is present between CAN_L and CAN_H lines.
  • The scan tool (M.U.T.-III) cannot receive the periodic transmission data from any ECUs.
  • The voltage between CAN bus lines (CAN_L and CAN_H lines) is 1.0 V or more, 4.0 V or less.
  • The resistance at CAN bus line (CAN_L and CAN_H lines) is 2 Ω or less.
