DIAGNOSTIC ITEM
1: Diagnose when the scan tool cannot receive the data sent by ETACS-ECU.
caution |
When servicing a CAN bus line, ground yourself by
touching a metal object such as an unpainted water pipe. If you fail to do so, a component connected
to the CAN bus line may be damaged.
|
FUNCTION
When the CAN bus diagnosis is carried out, the scan tool communicates with the ETACS-ECU.
If a communication flag is not set for the ETACS-ECU, the ETACS-ECU will be diagnosed as a communication
error.
TROUBLE JUDGEMENT CONDITIONS
If a communication flag is not set for the ETACS-ECU, the ETACS-ECU determines that there
is a failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- Malfunction of the connector (data link connector or ETACS-ECU connector
improperly connected)
- Malfunction of the wiring harness (open circuit, short to ground, short to power
supply between the data link connector and the ETACS-ECU connector, line-to-line short, or power
supply to the ETACS-ECU)
- Malfunction of ETACS-ECU

STEP 1. Check data link connector C-34 and ETACS-ECU connector
C-301 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
|
|
caution |
The strand end of the twisted wire should be within 10 cm (4
inches) from the connector. For details refer to .
|
|
|
Q.
Are data link connector C-34 and ETACS-ECU connector C-301 in good condition?
|
|
Go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
Repair the damaged parts.
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. Check the wiring harness between data link connector C-34
and ETACS-ECU connector C-301 for open circuit.
|
|
caution |
Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair procedure.
For details refer to .
|
|
|
(1)Disconnect the scan tool and ETACS-ECU connector C-301, and check the wiring harness.
|
|
(2)Check the wiring harness between data link connector C-34 (terminal 6) and ETACS-ECU connector
C-301 (terminal 5) <CAN_H> OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)
|
|
(3)Check the wiring harness between data link connector C-34 (terminal 14) and ETACS-ECU
connector C-301 (terminal 4) <CAN_L> OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)
Q.
Is the wiring harness between data link connector C-34 and ETACS-ECU connector C-301
in good condition?
Go to Step 3.
Repair the wiring harness between data link connector C-34 and ETACS-ECU connector
C-301.
|
|
STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between data link connector C-34
and ETACS-ECU connector C-301 for a short to ground. Measure the resistance at data link connector
C-34.
|
|
caution |
Disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer to .
|
|
|
caution |
A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to .
|
|
|
caution |
The test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to .
|
|
|
(1)Disconnect the scan tool and ETACS-ECU connector C-301, and measure the resistance
at the wiring harness side of data link connector C-34.
|
|
(2)Measure the resistance between data link connector terminal 6 and body ground. <CAN_H> OK: 1 kilo ohm or more
|
|
(3)Measure the resistance between data link connector terminal 14 and body ground. <CAN_L> OK: 1 kilo ohm or more
Q.
Do all the resistances measure 1 kilo ohm or more?
Go to Step 4.
Repair the wiring harness between data link connector C-34 and ETACS-ECU connector
C-301.
|
|
STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between data link connector C-34
and ETACS-ECU connector C-301 for a short to the power supply. Measure the voltage at data link connector
C-34.
|
|
(1)Disconnect the scan tool and ETACS-ECU connector C-301, and measure the resistance
at the wiring harness side of data link connector C-34.
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
|
|
(3)Measure the voltage between data link connector terminal 6 and body ground. <CAN_H> OK: 5 volts or less
|
|
(4)Measure the voltage between data link connector terminal 14 and body ground. <CAN_L> OK: 5 volts or less
Q.
Do all the voltage measure 5 volts or less?
Go to Step 5.
Repair the wiring harness between data link connector C-34 and ETACS-ECU connector
C-301.
|
|
STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between data link connector C-34
and ETACS-ECU connector C-301 for line-to-line short. Measure the resistance at data link connector C-34.
|
|
(1)Disconnect the scan tool and ETACS-ECU connector C-301, and measure the resistance
at the wiring harness side of data link connector C-34.
|
|
(2)Measure the resistance between data link connector terminal 6 and 14. OK: No continuity
Q.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Repair the wiring harness between data link connector C-34 and ETACS-ECU connector
C-301.
|
|

|
|
(1)
caution |
To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch
to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
|
