Mitsubishi 380. Manual - part 741

DIAGNOSIS

CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN)

54C-375

STEP 2. Check the CAN bus lines between the ABS-ECU 
and the A/T-ECU. Measure the resistance between 
ABS-ECU connector A-02 and 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 check between ABS-ECU and 
ENGINE-ECU only.

CAUTION

A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

CAUTION

The test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

(1) Disconnect ABS-ECU connector A-02 and A/T-ECU 

connector B-19, and measure the resistance between each 
wiring harness side connector.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

CAUTION

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer 
to 

P.54C-4

.

(3) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(4) Measure the resistance between ABS-ECU connector 

terminal 15 and A/T-ECU connector B-19 terminal 14.

OK: 2 ohms or less

(5) Measure the resistance between ABS-ECU connector 

terminal 26 and A/T-ECU connector B-19 terminal 13.

OK: 2 ohms or less

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

CAUTION

Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair proce-
dure. For details refer to 

P.54C-5

.

Q: Do all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less?

YES : If all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less, go to 

Step 3.

NO :  If either of the resistances measures more than 2 

ohms or all the resistances measure more than 2 
ohms, repair the wiring harness between ABS-ECU 
connector and the A/T-ECU connector B-19.

STEP 3. Check the CAN bus lines inside the ABS-ECU. 
Measure the resistance at ABS-ECU connector A-02.

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

CAUTION

A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

CAUTION

The test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

(1) Disconnect ABS-ECU connector A-02, and measure the 

resistance at the component side of ABS-ECU connector 
A-02.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

CAUTION

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer 
to 

P.54C-4

.

(3) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
(4) Measure the resistance between ABS-ECU connector A-02 

terminals 14 and 15.

OK: 2 ohms or less

(5) Measure the resistance between ABS-ECU connector 

terminals 25 and 26.

OK: 2 ohms or less

CAUTION

Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair proce-
dure. For details refer to 

P.54C-5

.

Q: Do all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less?

YES : If all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less, power 

supply to the A/T-ECU may be suspected. Diagnose 
the automatic transmission. Refer to GROUP 13A, 
MPI diagnosis 

P.13A-571

 <3.8L engine>.

NO :  If either of the resistances measures more than 2 

ohms or all the resistances measure more than 2 
ohms, replace the ABS-ECU.

54C-378

DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 11: Diagnose the lines between CAN main bus line and the ABS-ECU.

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

If the MUT-III cannot received signals from 
ABS-ECU, CAN bus line connector(s) are broken or 
an open circuit has occurred.

.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

The wiring harness wire or connectors may have 
loose, corroded, or damage terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector, or the ABS-ECU may 
be defective.
