  5. Open wire check (F-CAN A_H, F-CAN A_L lines)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    NOTE: This step must be done to protect the PCM from damage.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

    CAN gateway 24P connector
    PCM connector A (51P)

    - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      CAN gateway 24P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
    Test point 1 CAN gateway 24P connector No. 14
    Test point 2 PCM connector A (51P) No. 9 - Refer to: PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2016)
    Test point 1 CAN gateway 24P connector No. 15
    Test point 2 PCM connector A (51P) No. 10 - Refer to: PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2017 2018 2019 2020), or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2014 2015), or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2016)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The F-CAN A_H and F-CAN A_L wires are OK. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CAN gateway and the PCM. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, then retest. If the DTC is still present, replace the PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2016) .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the PCM and the CAN gateway.

  6. Open wire check (F-CAN B_H, F-CAN B_L lines)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    NOTE: This step must be done to protect the PCM from damage.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

    CAN gateway 24P connector
    PCM connector A (51P)

    - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
