Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

When "+B or GND short malfunction of communication bus" DTCs (B1266 and B1267) are detected at the same time as "communication stop" DTC B1205, repair the "+B or GND short malfunction of communication bus" DTCs first.

  1. INSPECT FUSE (ECU-IG NO. 2) 
    1. Remove the ECU-IG No. 2 fuse from the instrument panel J/B.
    2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

      Standard resistance: 

      Below 1 Ω 

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (AFS ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)

    1. Disconnect the A14 ECU connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    3. Measure the voltage and resistance of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E1 (A14-1) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
      E1S (A14-11) - Body ground Below 1 Ω

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  3. CHECK RESISTANCE OF COMMUNICATION LINE

    1. Disconnect the A14 and P22 ECU connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance between the specified terminals on the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION TABLE

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      MPX1 (A14-5) - MPX1 (P22-7) Below 1 Ω

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE AFS ECU
