Inspection Procedure

HINT:

When "+B of GND short malfunction of communication bus" DTCs (B1266 and B1267) are detected at the same time as "communication stop" DTC B1271, repair the "+B or GND short malfunction of communication bus" DTCs first.

  1. INSPECT FUSE (DOME, MPX-B) 
    1. Remove the DOME and MPX-B fuses from the engine room J/B No. 1.
    2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

      Standard resistance: 

      Below 1 Ω 

      NG: REPLACE FUSE 

      OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (COMBINATION METER ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the J34 ECU connector.
    2. Measure the voltage and resistance of the wire harness side connector.

    Standard voltage

    ES (J34-13) - 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 J34, J49, J76, A27 and J58 ECU connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance between the specified terminals on the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard resistance
