STEP 1. Check joint connector (9) D-131.

CAUTION

If there is a problem in the connector(s) (including termi-
nals) or wire(s) of the instrument panel wiring harness
assembly (the wiring harness connected to the steering
wheel sensor, the data link connector and the resistor) and
the transmission wiring harness assembly (the wiring har-
ness connected to the G and yaw rate sensor connector
and intermediate connector E-123), cut and repair the
defective wire so that the frayed end of the twisted wire
should be within 10 cm (4.0 inches). If it exceeds 10 cm (4.0
inches), twist the wiring harness just like the original
twisted wire. If the frayed end exceeds 10 cm (4.0 inches),
a communication error may be caused.
Q: Is joint connector D-131 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace the connector(s).

STEP 2. Check the joint connector.

Disconnect joint connector (9), and check the short pin behind
the connector for corrosion, deformation and delamination.
Q: Is joint connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the joint connector.

STEP 3. Check intermediate connector E-122.

CAUTION

If there is a problem in the connector(s) (including termi-
nals) or wire(s) of the instrument panel wiring harness
assembly (the wiring harness connected to the steering
wheel sensor, the data link connector and the resistor) and
the transmission wiring harness assembly (the wiring har-
ness connected to the G and yaw rate sensor connector
and intermediate connector E-123), cut and repair the
defective wire so that the frayed end of the twisted wire
should be within 10 cm (4.0 inches). If it exceeds 10 cm (4.0
inches), twist the wiring harness just like the original
twisted wire. If the frayed end exceeds 10 cm (4.0 inches),
a communication error may be caused.

CAUTION

If there is a problem in the CAN bus line or the connectors
on the control wiring harness assembly (the wiring har-
ness connected to the M-ASTC-ECU, the power control
module and intermediate connector E-123), do not attempt
to repair the wiring harness or connector(s), but replace
the wiring harness assembly. If a wire is added or the con-
nector(s) are repaired, an error in the CAN communication
may be caused.
Q: Is intermediate connector E-122 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO (If there is a problem at the instrument panel wiring
harness assembly side) : Repair or replace the connector.
NO (If there is a problem at the control wiring harness
assembly side) : Replace the control wiring harness

assembly.
