Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Initial Communication and DTC Checks

Check the PCM for DTCs and troubleshoot PCM or F-CAN loss of communication errors first, then do this diagnosis if the symptom is related to the B-CAN system.

Compare the symptom with this list of B-CAN related systems:

• Gauge control module
• Exterior lights
• Turn signals
• Entry light control
• Interior lights
• Safety indicators
• Horns (security and panic) (if equipped)
• Reminder chimes (seat belt, lights-on, and parking brake)

• Daytime running lights
• Keyless access control
• Climate control
• Seat heater

• -

  If the symptom is related to the B-CAN system, go to step 2.

• -

  If the symptom is not related to the B-CAN system, go to the system symptom troubleshooting.

2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) . From the BODY ELECTRICAL system, select Mode Menu, then select the Connected Unit Menu to see if the following control units are communicating with the HDS.

NOTE: 

• If a unit is communicating with the HDS, "DETECT" is displayed.
• If a unit is not communicating or the vehicle is not equipped, "NOT AVAILABLE" is displayed.
• The HDS only checks the status one time when BODY ELECTRICAL is selected. To recheck the status after repair, reboot the HDS.

• -

  If all control units are communicating with the HDS, go to step 4.

• -

  If any of the control units are not communicating, go to B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode B .

• -

  If all units are not communicating or only the body control module is communicating, go to body control module DTC U1280 troubleshooting .

Select the system that has the problem from the BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SELECT menu, then select DTCs.

• -

  If any DTCs are indicated, go to step 5.

• -

  If the problem is related to one of the following items and the system that is malfunctioning does not stop or turn off, go to B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode C .

• -

  If the problem is related to one of the following items and the system that is malfunctioning does not run or turn on, go to B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode D .

• • Exterior lights
  • Turn signals
  • Entry light control
  • Interior lights
  • Horns (security and panic)
  • Wiper/washer
  • Power window
  • Power door locks
