Inspection Procedure

HINT:

When "+B of GND short malfunction of communication bus" DTCs (B1214 and B1215) are detected at the same time as "communication stop" DTC B1280, repair the "+B or GND short malfunction of communication bus" DTCs first.

  1. INSPECT FUSE (MPX-B) 
    1. Remove the MPX-B 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 (MAIN BODY ECU LH - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the LD ECU connector.
    2. Measure the voltage and resistance of the wire harness side connector.
