    YES 

    The GND wire is OK. Go to step 8.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit and body ground (G303).

  8. F-CAN circuit communication check

    -1. Reconnect the following connector.

    VSA modulator-control unit 46P connector

    -2. 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

    Which result is indicated?

    Gauge control module (Bus A) is Not Available

    Go to step 9.

    VSA modulator-control unit (Bus A) is Not Available

    Go to step 10.

    VSA modulator-control unit (Bus B) is Not Available

    Go to step 11.

    VSA modulator-control unit and gauge control module are Detected

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting .

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

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

    -2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    CAN gateway 12P connector
    Gauge control module connector A (32P)

    -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
