Determination Procedure

CAUTION:
  • When disconnecting the connector, verify that there is no looseness, damage, deformation, corrosion, or poor connection of the connector terminals.
  • When inspecting the connector, touch it with a paper clip or similar thin pin without directly inserting a tester probe into the terminal.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal before performing any work that requires handling of connectors.
DETERMINING SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS LOCATION (CAN-BUS No. 2) (US) DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Action
1 INSPECT BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the body control module (BCM) because there is a short between circuits in the body control module (BCM).
(See BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
2 INSPECT PCM FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the PCM because there is a short between circuits in the PCM.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN M) (US)] .)
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN 7 & VIN L) (US)] .)
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(VIN Y) (US)] .)
3 INSPECT DSC HU/CM FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION (US) .)
  • Disconnect the DSC HU/CM connector.
  • Disconnect the connector 2 which has body control module (BCM) terminals 2H and 2F.
  • Inspect for continuity between DSC HU/CM terminals AQ and AN (wiring harness side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness between the DSC HU/CM and body control module (BCM) and PCM because the wiring harness is shorted between circuits.
No Replace the DSC HU/CM because there is a short between circuits in the DSC HU/CM.
(See DSC HU/CM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L.H.D.(US)] .)
