DTC (Door Multiplex Control Unit)

NOTE:  If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Go to: Body Electrical Troubleshooting - B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A - Initial Communication and DTC Checks .

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

    Clear DTCs

    - 2. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode and then the ON mode.

    - 3. Wait for at least 6 seconds.

    - 4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Are any DTCs indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections.

  2. Open wire check (B-CAN_H, B-CAN_L line)

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

    - 2. Disconnect the receiving control unit connector.

    Power window master switch 37P connector

    - 3. Disconnect the transmitting control unit connectors.

    Climate control unit connector A (32P)
    Gauge control module 32P connector
    Under-dash fuse/relay box connector M (12P)

    - 4. Check for continuity between the receiving control unit and the transmitting control unit on the B-CAN_H circuit and the B-CAN_L circuit as specified in the table while in the vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The B-CAN_L to B-CAN_H wire is OK. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Repair an open or high resistance in the B-CAN_H and/or B-CAN_L wire (S) between the receiving control unit and the transmitting control unit.

  3. Determine possible failure area (the receiving control unit or the transmitting control unit)

    -1. Reconnect all connectors.

    - 2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 3. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

    Clear DTCs

    - 4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
