TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Example: Data link connector branch line open circuit
NOTE:
• When data link connector branch line is open, transmission and reception of CAN communication signals is
not affected. Therefore, no symptoms occur. However, be sure to repair malfunctioning circuit.
• When data link connector branch line is open, the screen-display of the CONSULT-II “SELECT SYSTEM”
screen may be the same as when the CAN communication line has short-circuit. However, symptoms differ
depending on the case. See below chart for the differences.
Unit name Symptom
ECM Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
BCM Reverse warning chime does not sound.
EPS control unit Normal operation.
Combination meter• Shift position indicator and OD OFF indicator turn OFF.
• Warning lamps turn ON.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
IPDM E/R Normal operation.

CAN communication system performs trouble diagnosis with the following tools.
How to Use CAN Communication Signal ChartINFOID:0000000003533616
The CAN communication signal chart lists the signals needed for trouble diagnosis. It is useful for detecting
the root cause by finding a signal related to the symptom, and by checking transmission and reception unit.
To o l U s a g e
Interview sheet For filling in vehicle information and interview with customer.
Data sheet For attaching CONSULT-II data or on-board diagnosis data.
Diagnosis sheet For detecting the root cause. (Diagnosis sheet includes system diagram for every CAN system type)

DETECT THE ROOT CAUSE
Identify the root cause using the created diagnosis sheet.
Identifying the root cause• Draw a line on the diagnosis sheet to indicate the possible cause. Narrow the search.
NOTE:
• Color-code when drawing lines.
• Do not draw a line onto a existing line.
• Drawing a line is not necessary if the circuit is shorted. Refer to "Present Error — Short Circuit —", "Past
Error — Short Circuit —".
Refer to the following for details of the trouble diagnosis procedure.
• "Present Error — Open Circuit —"
• "Present Error — Short Circuit —"
• "Past Error — Open Circuit —"
• "Past Error — Short Circuit —"
NOTE:
When the root cause appears to be a branch line or short circuit, be sure to check the control unit as well as
the communication line.
Present Error — Open Circuit —
Identify the error circuit using information from the “SELECT SYSTEM” and “CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR”
screens.
1. SELECT SYSTEM: Check the items indicated in “SELECT SYSTEM”. Draw a line on the diagnosis sheet
to indicate the error circuit.
NOTE:
CAN communication line has no error if units other than Diag on CAN units are indicated. An error may be
on the power supply of the control unit, DDL1 line or DDL2 line.
a. “TRANSMISSION” which is Diag on CAN unit, is not indicated on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen. This indi-
cates that DLC is not receiving a signal from TCM. Draw a line to indicate an error between DLC and TCM
(line 1-a in the figure).
NOTE:
• Diag on CAN units are not indicated on the “SELECT SYSTEM” screen when the CAN line between
Diag on CAN unit and the data link connector is open.

c. Reception item of “TRANSMISSION”: “VDC/TCS/ABS”, “3” is indicated in the “PAST”. This means TCM
could not receive the signal from ABS in the past. Draw a line between TCM and ABS (line 2-c in the fig-
ure).
3. CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR (without PAST): Check the CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR (without PAST) of
units indicating “U1000” or “U1001” on SELF-DIAG RESULTS. Draw a line on the diagnosis sheet to indi-
cate the possible error circuit.
NOTE:
• While an error occurred in the past according to SELF-DIAG RESULTS, it is unclear which signal is not
received. Assume that errors were detected from all reception items.
• Draw a single line among the unit and all reception items. (Work flow differs from CAN DIAG SUPPORT
MNTR (with PAST).)
a. Reception item of “EPS”: Assume that the unit could not receive the signals from ECM, ABS, and M&A.
Draw a line among EPS, ECM, ABS, and M&A (line 3-a in the figure).
