STEP 5. Measure the resistance at the LIN bus lines.
Check the LIN bus lines for short to ground.
(1) Disconnect all the ECU connectors which are connected to 

the LIN bus lines.

(2) Measure the resistance value between column switch 

connector C-212 (terminal 3) and ground.

• No continuity (1 kΩ or more)

(3) Measure the resistance value between sunroof motor 

assembly connector D-04 (terminal 7) and ground. 
<Vehicles with sunroof>

• No continuity (1 kΩ or more)

(4) Measure the resistance value between lighting control 

sensor connector D-39 (terminal 3) and ground. <Vehicles 
with auto light function>

• No continuity (1 kΩ or more)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the
