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. 6) (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 CAN LINE BETWEEN CONNECTOR C-10 AND BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness between the body control module (BCM) and connector C-10 because the wiring harness is shorted between circuits.
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT CAN LINE BETWEEN REAR SIDE RADAR SENSOR (LH) AND CONNECTOR C-10 FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 5.
4 INSPECT REAR SIDE RADAR SENSOR (LH) FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
  • Disconnect the rear side radar sensor (LH) connector.
  • Inspect for continuity between rear side radar sensor (LH) terminals C and D (wiring harness side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness between the rear side radar sensor (LH) and connector C-10 because the wiring harness is shorted between circuits.
No Replace the rear side radar sensor (LH) because there is a short between circuits in the rear side radar sensor (LH).
(See REAR SIDE RADAR SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
5 INSPECT CAN LINE BETWEEN FRONT RADAR SENSOR AND CONNECTOR C-10 FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
  • Inspect for continuity between front radar sensor terminals E and C.
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 7.
6 INSPECT FRONT RADAR SENSOR FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
  • Disconnect the front radar sensor connector.
  • Inspect for continuity between front radar sensor terminals E and C (wiring harness side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness between the front radar sensor and connector C-10 because the wiring harness is shorted between circuits.
No Replace the front radar sensor because there is a short between circuits in the front radar sensor.
(See FRONT RADAR SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
7 INSPECT CAN LINE BETWEEN CONNECTOR C-06 AND CONNECTOR C-10 FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness between connector C-06 and connector C-10 because the wiring harness is shorted between circuits.
No Go to the next step.
8 INSPECT BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) FOR SHORT BETWEEN CIRCUITS
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness between the body control module (BCM) and connector C-06 because the wiring harness is shorted between circuits.
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 .)
