NOTE: Main wiring harness or related lines may be shorted to ground, or shorted to ground in one of the control modules.
  1. CHECK BETWEEN RELATED LINES AND MAIN WIRING HARNESS  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the central gateway control module connector.
    3. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the central gateway control module connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (i88) No. 23 - Chassis ground:

      (i88) No. 24 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

    Yes:  Go to  2.

    No:  Go to  3.

  2. CHECK CONTROL MODULE  .

    With a tester connected, disconnect control modules in order.

    Connector & terminal 

    (i88) No. 23 - Chassis ground:

    (i88) No. 24 - Chassis ground:

    Did the resistance change to 10 Ω or more?

    Yes:  Replace the control module whose resistance has changed.

    No:  Repair or replace the short circuit of the main wiring harness or related lines between the central gateway control module and ECM.

  3. CHECK CENTRAL GATEWAY CONTROL MODULE  .
    1. Connect the central gateway control module connector.
    2. Disconnect the VDC control module connector.
    3. Using a tester, measure the resistance between the VDC control module connector and chassis ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B66) No. 5 - Chassis ground:

      (B66) No. 19 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

    Yes:  Replace the central gateway control module. Ref. to BODY CONTROL/COMMUNICATION SYSTEM>CENTRAL GATEWAY CM .

    No:  Currently, it is normal.
