Inspection Procedure
HINT
If "+B of GND short malfunction of communication bus" DTCs (B1266 and B1267) are detected at the same time as "communication stop" DTC B1262, repair the "+B or GND short malfunction of communication bus" DTCs first (See DTC B1266 SHORT TO B+ IN INSTRUMENT PANEL SYSTEM COMMUNICATION BUS MALFUNCTION; DTC B1267 SHORT TO GND IN INSTRUMENT PANEL SYSTEM COMMUNICATION BUS MALFUNCTION )
- CHECK FUSE (A/C)
- Remove the A/C fuse from the main body ECU LH (cowl side junction block LH)
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below
Standard Resistance
RESISTANCE REFERENCETester Connection Condition Specified Condition A/C fuse Always Below 1 Ω
NG: REPLACE FUSE (A/C)
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (A/C AMPLIFIER - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the J58 connector.
- Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition J58-1 (B) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V Standard Resistance
RESISTANCE REFERENCETester Connection Condition Specified Condition J58-20 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (A/C AMPLIFIER - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMMUNICATION LINE)
- Disconnect the J58, A27 and J76 connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
RESISTANCE REFERENCETester Connection Condition Specified Condition J58-31 (MPX-) - A27-5 (MPX1) Always Below 1 Ω J58-30 (MPX+) - J76-13 (MPI2) Always Below 1 Ω
NG: REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE A/C AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY (See REMOVAL )
