Inspection Procedure 3: Abnormality in KOS-ECU power supply and ground circuits



caution Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the ground circuit and the communication circuit are normal.








TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)


If the KOS-ECU does not work at all or if the KOS-ECU cannot communicate with the scan tool, the KOS-ECU power supply or the ground circuit may be defective.

DIAGNOSIS


Required Special Tools:
  • MB992006: Extra fine probe
  • MB991223: Harness set

STEP 1. Check KOS-ECU connector C-05 and ETACS-ECU connector C-317 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.


Q. Is the KOS-ECU connector C-05 and ETACS-ECU connector C-317 in good condition?

Go to Step 2.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Check the wiring harness between the KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.38, 39) and the ETACS-ECU connector C-317 (terminal No.10, 5) for open circuit.


(1)Disconnect KOS-ECU connector C-05 and ETACS-ECU connector C-317, and check the wiring harness.

(2)Check the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.38) and ETACS-ECU connector C-317 (terminal No.10)
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

(3)Check the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.39) and ETACS-ECU connector C-317 (terminal No.5)
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.38, 39) and the ETACS-ECU connector C-317 (terminal No.10, 5) in good condition?

Go to Step 3.

Repair the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.38, 39) and the ETACS-ECU connector C-317 (terminal No.10, 5).

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between the KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.38, 39) and the ground for short circuit.


(1)Disconnect KOS-ECU connector C-05, and check the wiring harness.

(2)Check the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.38) and ground
OK: No continuity

(3)Check the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.39) and ground
OK: No continuity

Q. Is the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.38, 39) and the ground in good condition?

Go to Step 4.

Repair the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.38, 39) and the ground.

STEP 4. Check the wiring harness between the KOS-ECU connector C-05 and the ground for open circuit.


(1)Disconnect KOS-ECU connector C-05, and check the wiring harness.

(2)Check the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 (terminal No.14) and ground.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-05 and the ground in good condition?

Go to Step 5.

Repair the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-07 and ground.

STEP 5. Retest the system


Q. Does the abnormality in KOS-ECU power supply and ground circuits in good condition?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00, How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Replace KOS-ECU and register the ID codes (Refer to ).
