Note. Check the PCM for DTCs and troubleshoot PCM (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ) or F-CAN loss of communication errors first.

Using the B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode 1 (Use only if the HDS is unavailable)

  1. Check for communication circuit problems using B-CAN System Diagnostic Test Mode 1 and Mode 2 (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE 1 AND TEST MODE 2 (WITHOUT THE HDS)»(ref-336494-S25849519332009072700000) ).
  2. Check for DTCs (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE 1 AND TEST MODE 2 (WITHOUT THE HDS)»(ref-336494-S25849519332009072700000) ).
  3. If multiple DTCs are stored, sort them, and then troubleshoot the DTCs in this order. -1. Battery voltage DTCs -2. Internal error DTCs -3. Loss of communication DTCs NOTE: If DTC B1000 is stored, troubleshoot DTC B1000 (see «DTC B1000: Communication Bus Line Error (BUS-OFF)»(ref-336494-S28764153732009072700000) ) first. -4. Signal error DTCs
  4. If no DTCs are retrieved, use B-CAN System Diagnostic Test Mode 2 to check all inputs related to failure (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE 1 AND TEST MODE 2 (WITHOUT THE HDS)»(ref-336494-S25849519332009072700000) ).

How to clear the DTC

  1. Enter the B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode 1 (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A»(ref-336494-S14750832832009072700000) ).
  2. While in Test Mode 1, press and hold down the SELECT/RESET switch button for more than 10 seconds to clear the DTCs.

Loss of Communication DTC cross-reference chart

When an ECU on the CAN circuit is unable to communicate with the other ECUs on the B-CAN and F-CAN circuits, the other control units set loss of communication DTCs. Use this chart to find the control unit that is not communicating with other control units on the CAN circuit.

  1. Find the Transmitting Control Unit that is in the same row as all of the loss of communication DTCs retrieved.
  2. Do the input test for the transmitting control unit.

Examples of a communication circuit test

Normal circuit

  1. Ignition switch is turned to ON (II).
  2. The door multiplex control unit transmits a door switch message.
  3. The multiplex integrated control unit (MICU), relay control module, and gauge control module receive the door lock switch message.
  4. The communication circuit test is passed. Since the door lock switch message was received by all the ECUs expecting to receive a message, the communication circuit between those units is OK. There are multiple messages sent and received by each ECU during this time to insure that the communication circuit is intact. Failed circuit
  5. Ignition switch is turned to ON (II).
  6. The door multiplex control unit transmits a door switch message.
  7. The multiplex integrated control unit (MICU), relay control module, and gauge control module expect to receive the door lock switch message, but since there is a break in the communication circuits, it is not received.
  8. Each ECU that expects to receive the door lock switch message from the door multiplex control unit will transmit DTCs for the message that it did not receive.

Scheme 3

Scheme 3

Since there is a break in the communication circuit, the door lock switch message could not be received by the gauge control module, multiplex integrated control unit (MICU), or the relay control module. Each of these units will set "loss of communication" error codes for the message(s) they did not receive. There may be multiple communication DTCs if the unit that has become disconnected from the network would normally transmit multiple messages during the communication line test. For example, the door multiplex control unit sends the keyless panic message and door lock switch message during the communication circuit test.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)

There are three types of DTCs used by the CAN networks.

Internal error DTCsThe ECUs run internal checks. If one finds that there is an internal ECU problem, it will set an internal error DTC. Confirm that the battery and charging system are OK. If so, this indicates that the ECU needs to be replaced.
Loss of communication DTCsLoss of communication DTCs (and Bus-off DTCs) are set when there is a problem with the communication between ECUs. This could be in the connections, the wiring, or the ECU (as called out in the DTC Troubleshooting).
Signal error DTCsThe ECUs can run diagnostics on some input circuits to determine if those circuits are functioning properly (no opens or shorts). If a circuit fails the diagnostic test, a DTC will set. NOTE: (Not all input circuits are tested for errors.)
NOTE
(Not all input circuits are tested for errors.)

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES REFERENCE CHART

MICU Input Test

Note. Check the No. 22 (120 A), No. 23 (60 A), No. 15 (40 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box before troubleshooting.

Scheme 4

Scheme 4: MICU Input Test

Scheme 5

Scheme 5
  1. Before troubleshooting the MICU, troubleshoot the multiplex integrated control system first, using B-CAN System Diagnosis Test mode A (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A»(ref-336494-S14750832832009072700000) ).
  2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  3. Remove the left front door sill trim and left kick panel (see «TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - DOOR AREAS»(ref-336498-S00856079632009072700000) ).
  4. Disconnect the under-dash fuse/relay box connectors D, E, H, J, K, N, P, W and X. NOTE: All connector views are wire side of female terminals.
  5. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact. If the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system. If the terminals look OK, Go to step 6.
  6. With the connectors still disconnected from the under-dash fuse/relay box, do these input tests at the following connector(s). If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, Go to step 7.
