Component Inspection

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

■ Inspection CAN Waveform 

  1. Ignition "OFF" and connect each channel scope to CAN-H Ignition H terminal and CAN-LOW terminal.
  2. Ignition "ON" after disconnecting only ECM to CAN BUS.
  3. Ignition "ON" after disconnecting only Instrument Cluster to CAN BUS.

    Specification:  At Ignition "ON", the waveform is same as the one of "Signal Waveform & Data"

    Monitoring CAN HIGH and LOW simultaneously is important in monitoring CAN communication waveform. When CAN HIGH signal rise to 3.5V and LOW signal drops to 1.5V - voltage difference between HIGH and LOW signal is 2V.

■ Inspection CAN Resistance 

  1. Ignition "OFF"
  2. Measure resistance between Pin No. 3 (CAN-High) and Pin No. 11 (CAN-Low) terminals of data link connector (Measurement "A")
  3. Disconnect ECM, Instrument Cluster, and BCM connector.
  4. Measure resistance between Pin No. 3 (CAN-High) and Pin No. 11 (CAN-Low) terminals of data link connector (Measurement "B")

    Specification: 

    ECM, Instrument Cluster and BCM connected: Approx. 60Ω (Measurement "A")

    ECM disconnected: Approx. 120Ω (Measurement "B")

■ Confirm CAN Inspection 

  1. CAN waveform and resistance normal?

    YES 

    NO
