WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

NOTICE:

Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output.

Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the ignition switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key or any switches, or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

After performing repairs, perform the DTC check procedure and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.
DTC check procedure: Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 1 minute or more. Then operate the suspected malfunctioning system and drive the vehicle at 60 km/h (37 mph) or more for 5 minutes or more.
After the repair, perform the CAN bus check and check that all the ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed as normal.

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

HINT:

Before disconnecting related connectors for inspection, push in on each connector body to check that the connector is not loose or disconnected.
When a connector is disconnected, check that the terminals and connector body are not cracked, deformed or corroded.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS LINES (SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY BRANCH LINE)

(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

(b) Disconnect the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
S32-3 (CANH) - S32-2 (CANL)	Cable disconnected from negative (-) battery terminal	54 to 69 Ω

REPAIR OR REPLACE CAN BRANCH LINE OR CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE WITH SENSOR SUB-ASSEMBLY)

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT)

(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
S32-1 (ESS) - Body ground	Cable disconnected from negative (-) battery terminal	Below 1 Ω

(b) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
S32-4 (IG) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	11 to 14 V
S32-5 (BAT) - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V
