  5. Is the measured value within specification?

    YES 

    • Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.

    NO 

    • If the voltage of measured signal waveform is the battery voltage level (about 12V),

      → Check for short to battery in the LIN line.

      → Check for open/poor connection in the LIN line.

    • If the voltage of measured signal waveform is the ground voltage level (about 0V),

      → Check for short to ground the LIN line.

    • Repair or replace as necessary, go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
