STEP 34. Check the A/T- ECU for short circuit. Measure the 
resistance at A/T- ECU connector B-19.

NOTE: When diagnosing CAN-BUS on vehicles with 
manual transmission (M/T), disregard A/T-ECU and it’s wir-
ing circuits and measure between ABS-ECU and 
ENGINE-ECU only.

• Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-

90

• Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-

80

CAUTION

A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

(1) Disconnect A/T- ECU connector B-19, and measure the 

resistance at the component side of A/T- ECU connector 
B-19.

(2) Measure the resistance between A/T- ECU connector 

terminals 13 and 14.

OK: 1 k

Ω or more

Q: Does the resistance measure 1 k

Ω or more?

YES : If the resistance measures 1 k

Ω or more, go to Step 

35  .

NO :  If the resistance measures less than 1 k

Ω, replace the 

A/T-ECU.

STEP 35. Check the ENGINE- ECU for short circuit. 
Measure the resistance at ENGINE- ECU connector B-21.

NOTE: When diagnosing CAN-BUS on vehicles with 
manual transmission (M/T), disregard A/T-ECU and it’s wir-
ing circuits and measure between ABS-ECU and 
ENGINE-ECU only.

CAUTION

A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

(1) Disconnect ENGINE- ECU connector B-21, and measure 

the resistance at the component side of ENGINE- ECU 
connector B-21.

(2) Measure the resistance between ENGINE- ECU connector 

terminals 64 and 86.

OK: 120 

± 20 Ω

Q: Does the resistance measure 120 

± 20 Ω?

YES : If the resistance measures 120 

± 20 Ω, diagnose CAN 

bus lines thoroughly by referring to 

P.54C-323

.

NO :  If the resistance does not measure 120 

± 20 Ω, 

replace the ENGINE- ECU.

DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 6: Diagnose terminator resistors at both ends

NOTE: When diagnosing CAN-BUS on vehicles 
with manual transmission (M/T), disregard 
A/T-ECU and it’s wiring circuits and measure 
between ABS-ECU and ENGINE-ECU only.

CAUTION

When servicing a CAN bus line, ground yourself 
by touching a metal object such as an unpainted 
water pipe. If you fail to do so, a component con-
nected to the CAN bus line may be damaged.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

The terminator resistors at both ends of CAN bus 
lines may be damaged, when the resistance 
between the CAN bus lines (CAN_L and H lines) is 
more than 2 ohms.

.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The CAN bus line harness wires or connectors may 
be damaged (open circuit may be present on CAN_L 
or CAN_H line between the data link connector and 
CAN main bus lines, or CAN main bus lines may be 
open at both sides), or the combination meter and 
the ENGINE-ECU may be defective.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Refer to circuit diagrams GROUP-

90

• Refer to configuration diagrams GROUP-

80

• The wiring harness or connectors may have 

loose, corroded, or damage terminals, or termi-
nals pushed back in the connector

• The combination meter may be defective

• The ABS-ECU may be defective

• The A/T-ECU may be defective

• The ENGINE-ECU may be defective

NOTE: When diagnosing CAN-BUS on vehi-

cles with manual transmission (M/T), disregard 
A/T-ECU and it’s wiring circuits and measure 
between ABS-ECU and ENGINE-ECU only.
