Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode 1 and Test Mode 2 (without the HDS)

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Shift to Test Mode 1 

Check the PCM for DTCs and troubleshoot PCM or F-CAN loss of communication errors first, then do this diagnosis if the HDS is not available.

1. Check the BACK UP fuse and the FI MAIN fuse. If either fuse is blown, find and correct the cause, then replace the fuse.

2. Move the front individual map light switch OFF, the interior light switch to the DOOR position, the ceiling light switch to the MIDDLE position, and close all doors.

NOTE:  Do steps 3-7 within 10 seconds.

3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

4. Pull and hold the passing switch in its PASSING position.

6. Turn the combination light switch to OFF, then turn to the PARKING position, and turn to OFF two more times.

7. Release the combination light switch.

8. Wait 5 seconds, and watch the front individual map lights and the ceiling light. When the lights flash quickly once, the system enters in Test Mode 1.

9. If the front individual map lights and the ceiling light keeps blinking after entering Test Mode 1, check for B-CAN unit communication error.

10. Check for B-CAN DTCs indicated by the LCD display while still in Test Mode 1. Press the TRIP button to display the next code. After you get to the last code, the display shows END. If no DTCs are stored, the display reads NO.

NOTE:  If the test times out, turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, and repeat steps 3
