    Bus A is Available

    Go to step 5.

  4. Open wire check (F-CAN lines)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    CAN gateway 16P connector

    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector C (20P)

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode

    CAN gateway 16P connector: disconnected

    Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector C (20P): disconnected

    Test point 1 CAN gateway 16P connector (female terminals) No. 3:
    Test point 2 Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector C (20P) No. 2 - Refer to: Keyless Access/TPMS Control Unit Connector For Inputs And Outputs (2015-17) or Keyless Access/TPMS Control Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2018-19)
    Test point 1 CAN gateway 16P connector (female terminals) No. 11:
    Test point 2 Keyless access/TPMS control unit connector C (20P) No. 12 - Refer to: Keyless Access/TPMS Control Unit Connector For Inputs And Outputs (2015-17) or Keyless Access/TPMS Control Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2018-19)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The F-CAN_H and F-CAN_L wires are OK. Replace the keyless access/TPMS control unit .

    NO 

    Repair an open in F-CAN_H or F-CAN_L wire.

  5. F-CAN circuit communication check (Transmitting control unit)

    -1. Select the FUNCTION TEST in the CAN gateway with the HDS, then select the F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check.

    F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check

    According to the detected DTC on the following table, make sure that the transmitting control unit detects the CAN gateway Bus channel (s) normally.

    DTC Transmitting control unit Detected CAN gateway Bus channel (s) at normal
    U0100 PCM A
    U0122 VSA modulator-control unit A

    Is it detected normally?

    Detected normal

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the transmitting control unit and the CAN gateway.

    U0100: PCM is Not Available for Bus A

    Go to step 6.

    U0122: VSA modulator-control unit is Not Available for Bus A

    Go to step 6.

  6. Open wire check (F-CAN lines)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. U0100: Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    - 3. According to the detected DTC on the following table, disconnect the transmitting control unit connector (s).
