   NO 

   Go to step 2.

2. F-CAN circuit communication check (Receiving control unit)

   -1. Select the FUNCTION TEST in the CAN gateway with the HDS, then select the F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check.

   F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check

   Does the TCM detect the CAN gateway Bus channels A?

   Bus A is Not Available

   Go to step 3.

   Bus A is Available

   Go to step 4.

3. Open wire check (F-CAN A_H line, F-CAN A_L line)

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

   -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

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

   -3. Disconnect the following connectors.
