Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the power switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key, switches or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.
- After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notice before proceeding with work. Refer to PRECAUTION [08/2013 - ] .
- Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output. Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2013 - ] .
- After performing repairs, perform the procedure listed in DTC Reproduction Method and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.
- DTC check procedure: Turn the power switch on (IG), turn the cruise control main switch on, turn the blind spot monitor main switch on, wait at least 11.84 seconds and then drive the vehicle at a speed of 36 km/h (22 mph) or more for 2 seconds or more.
- After the repair, perform CAN Bus Check and check that all the ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2013 - ] .
HINT:
- Operating the power switch, any other switches or a door triggers related ECU and sensor communication on the CAN. This communication will cause the resistance value to change.
- Even after DTCs are cleared, if a DTC is stored again after driving the vehicle for a while, the malfunction may be occurring due to vibration of the vehicle. In such a case, wiggling the ECUs or wire harness while performing the inspection below may help determine the cause of the malfunction.
