Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting . If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

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

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

-2. Short the SCS line with the HDS.

-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. 10
