Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure resistance between terminals CANL and CANH of DLC3.

CHECK:

Measure the resistance between terminals CANL and CANH of the DLC3.

RESULT:

CANL AND CANH OF DLC3

Result	Proceed to
1 MΩ or higher	A
108 to 132 Ω	B

B: Go to step 3 .
A: Go to next step

Check for short circuit in harness and connector between junction connector and DLC3.
PREPARATION:

Disconnect the bus line connectors from the junction connector.

CHECK:

Measure the resistance between terminals CANL and CANH of the DLC3.

OK:

Resistance: 1 MΩ or higher

1. NG: Go to step 5.
2. OK: If same code is still output after DTC is deleted, check contact condition of each connection. If connections are normal, ECU may be defective.
Measure input voltage of the steering angle sensor.
PREPARATION:
1. Remove the steering wheel and column lower cover (see REMOVAL ).
2. Disconnect the steering angle sensor connector.
CHECK:
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Measure the voltage between terminals 1 and 2, and 2 and 3 of the steering angle sensor harness side connector.
OK:

Voltage: 10 to 14 V
