DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 9: Diagnose shorts between CAN_L and H lines <Vehicles with ABS and vehicles 
with multi-center display (middle-grade type)>

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

Short circuit may be present between the CAN_L 
and H lines when the resistance between the CAN 
bus lines (CAN_L and H lines) is less than 2 ohms.

.

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 a ECU may be 
defective.

.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991223: Harness Set

• MB991970: ABS Check Harness

STEP 1. Check intermediate connector C-29 for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.

CAUTION

The strand end of the twisted wire should be within 10 cm 
(4 inches) from the connector. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

Q: Is intermediate connector C-29 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the damaged parts.

STEP 2. Check the lines between the CAN_L and H lines 
(communication line including ECUs) of the front wiring 
harness for a short circuit. Measure the resistance at 
intermediate connector C-29.

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 intermediate connector C-29, and measure the 

resistance at the male side (at front wiring harness side).

(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 intermediate connector 

terminals 11 and 12.

OK: 120 

± 20 Ω

Q: Does the resistance measure 120 

± 20 Ω?

YES : If the resistance measures 120 

± 20 Ω, go to Step 3.

NO :  If the resistance does not measure 120 

± 20 Ω, go to 

Step 30 .
