CAUTION

Always use the test harness when measuring the voltage
or resistance value at the female connector. If you fail to do
so, connectors may be damaged.
(4) Measure the resistance values between joint connector (9)

D-131 terminal 1 and resistor connector D-130 terminal 1,

and between joint connector (9) D-131 terminal 4 and
resistor connector D-130 terminal 2.

• The resistance should measure 2 ohms or less.

CAUTION

If you repair the CAN bus line of the instrument panel wir-
ing 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 harness connected to the G and yaw rate sen-
sor connector and intermediate connector E-123), observe
the precautions regarding how to repair wiring harness. If
a new wire is added or a splice point is modified for the
CAN_L or CAN_H line, an error in the CAN communication
may be caused.
Q: Does the resistance measure 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 12.
NO : Repair the wiring harness wires between joint

connector (9) and the resistor connector.

STEP 12. Check the CAN bus line for open circuit. Measure
at joint connector (9) D-131 and intermediate connector
E-122.

CAUTION

Before checking CAN bus lines and their interconnected
components, "ground" yourself, by touching a metal
object such as an unpainted pipe, this will discharge any
potentially damaging static that may have built up.

CAUTION

When measuring resistance value or voltage in CAN bus
lines, use a digital multimeter. If not using a digital multim-
eter, the equipments, which are connected through the
CAN communication lines, may be damaged.
(1) Disconnect joint connector (9) D-131 and intermediate

connector E-122, and measure the resistance between joint
connector (9) and the male intermediate connector (at the
instrument panel wiring harness side).

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.

CAUTION

Disconnect the negative battery terminal when measuring
the resistance value in the CAN bus line. If you fail to do
so, the equipments, which are connected through the CAN
communication lines, may be damaged.
(3) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

CAUTION

Always use the test harness when measuring the voltage
or resistance value at the female connector. If you fail to do
so, connectors may be damaged.
(4) Measure the resistance values between joint connector (9)

D-131 terminal 6 and intermediate connector E-122
terminal 9, and between joint connector (9) D-131 terminal
11 and intermediate connector E-122 terminal 20.

• The resistance should measure 2 ohms or less.

CAUTION

If you repair the CAN bus line of the instrument panel wir-
ing 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 harness connected to the G and yaw rate sen-
sor connector and intermediate connector E-123), observe
the precautions regarding how to repair wiring harness. If
a new wire is added or a splice point is modified for the
CAN_L or CAN_H line, an error in the CAN communication
may be caused.
Q: Does the resistance measure 2 ohms or less?

YES : Retest the system.
NO : Repair the wiring harness wires between joint

connector (9) and the intermediate connector.

STEP 13. 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 14.
NO : Repair or replace the connector(s).
