STEP 24. Check for short circuit at the resistor. Check at 
intermediate connector E-122.

CAUTION

Before checking CAN bus lines and their interconnected 
components, "ground" yourself, by touching a metal 
object such as an unpainted pipe, this will discharge any 
potentially damaging static that may have built up.

CAUTION

When measuring resistance value or voltage in CAN bus 
lines, use a digital multimeter. If not using a digital multim-
eter, the equipments, which are connected through the 
CAN communication lines, may be damaged.
(1) Disconnect intermediate connector E-122 and steering 

wheel sensor connector D-225, and measure the resistance 
at the male intermediate connector (instrument panel wiring 
harness side).

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

CAUTION

Disconnect the negative battery terminal when measuring 
the resistance value in the CAN bus line. If you fail to do 
so, the equipments, which are connected through the CAN 
communication lines, may be damaged.
(3) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

(4) Measure the resistance between intermediate connector 

E-122 terminals 9 and 20.

• The resistance should measure 120 ± 12 ohms.

Q: Does the resistance measure 120 

± 12 ohms?

YES : Go to Step 29.
NO :  Go to Step 25.

STEP 25. Check the CAN bus line for short circuit. Measure 
at joint connector (9) D-131.

CAUTION

Before checking CAN bus lines and their interconnected 
components, "ground" yourself, by touching a metal 
object such as an unpainted pipe, this will discharge any 
potentially damaging static that may have built up.

When measuring resistance value or voltage in CAN bus 
lines, use a digital multimeter. If not using a digital multim-
eter, the equipments, which are connected through the 
CAN communication lines, may be damaged.
(1) Disconnect joint connector (9) D-131, and measure the 

resistance at joint connector (9).

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

CAUTION

Disconnect the negative battery terminal when measuring 
the resistance value in the CAN bus line. If you fail to do 
so, the equipments, which are connected through the CAN 
communication lines, may be damaged.
(3) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

CAUTION

Always use the test harness when measuring the voltage 
or resistance value at the female connector. If you fail to do 
so, connectors may be damaged.
(4) Measure the resistance between joint connector (9) D-131 

terminals 7 and 12.

• The resistance should be infinite.

CAUTION

If you repair the CAN bus line of the instrument panel wir-
ing harness assembly (the wiring harness connected to 
the steering wheel sensor, the data link connector and the 
resistor) and the transmission wiring harness assembly 
(the wiring harness connected to the G and yaw rate sen-
sor connector and intermediate connector E-123), observe 
the precautions regarding how to repair wiring harness. If 
a new wire is added or a splice point is modified for the 
CAN_L or CAN_H line, an error in the CAN communication 
may be caused.
Q: Is the resistance infinite?
