      NOTE:

      Do not reconnect the disconnected connectors until this inspection is complete because there may be a short to GND in 2 or more CAN bus lines.

      Result

      Symptom Proceed to
      The resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 4 (CG), or the resistance between 14 (CANL) and 4 (CG) is still below 200 Ω when all the specified connectors are disconnected from the CAN junction connector. (There is a short to GND in the CAN main bus lines between the No. 1 CAN junction connector and No. 2 CAN junction connector.) A
      The resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 4 (CG), or the resistance between 14 (CANL) and 4 (CG) becomes normal (200 Ω or more) when a connector is disconnected from the CAN junction connector. (There is a short to GND in one of the areas that relate to the disconnected bus lines.) B
    4. When there is a short to GND in one or more of the bus lines that connect to an ECU (or sensor) :
      1. Reconnect all of the connectors to the CAN junction connector, except for the one that was disconnected last (the bus line that is shorted to GND). Check that the resistance shown on the tester is normal (200 Ω or more) to confirm that there is a short to GND in the one branch line only.

        HINT: 

        • Connectors that connect to the CAN junction connector can be distinguished by the color of their CAN bus lines.
        • Reconnecting the connectors to non-original positions on the CAN junction connector does not affect system performance. However, it is preferred to reconnect the connectors to their original positions to avoid negative effects on the wiring such as tension on the wiring harnesses, and to make future maintenance easier.
    5. When there is no short to GND in any of the bus lines that connect to the ECUs and sensors:
      1. With all the specified connectors for ECUs and sensors disconnected, proceed with the inspection of the CAN bus main lines between the No. 1 CAN junction connector and No. 2 CAN junction connector.

  3. CHECK FOR SHORT TO GND IN CAN BUS LINE (NO. 1 CAN J/C)

  5. CHECK FOR SHORT TO GND IN CAN BUS LINE (ECU, SENSOR) 
    1. Reconnect the connector of the bus line that is shorted to GND to the CAN junction connector (the connector that caused the bus line resistance to change to 200 Ω or more when it was disconnected).
    2. Disconnect the connector that includes the DLC3 connected CAN lines (such as CANH and CANL) from the ECU (or sensor) to which the bus line shorted to GND is connected (Refer to TERMINALS OF ECU [10/2014 - 10/2015] ).
