NOTE:
 When data link connector branch line is open, transmi
ssion and reception of CAN communication signals
are not affected. Therefore, no symptoms occur. However, be sure to repair malfunctioning circuit.
 The model (all units on CAN communication system are Diag on CAN) cannot perform CAN diagnosis with
CONSULT-III if the following error occurs. The error is judged by the symptom.
Example: Main Line Between Data Link Connector and ABS Actuator and Electr ic Unit (Control Unit) Open Circuit
Unit name Major symptom
ECM
Normal operation.
BCM
EPS control unit
Combination meter
ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit)
TCM
IPDM E/R
Error Difference of symptom
Data link connector branch line open circuit Normal operation.
CAN-H, CAN-L harness short-circuit Most of the units which are connected to the CAN communication
system enter fail-safe mode or are deactivated.
SKIB8740E
Unit name Major symptom
ECM Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
BCM  Reverse warning chime does not sound.
 The front wiper moves under continuous operation mode even though the front wip-
er switch being in the intermittent position.
EPS control unit The steering effort increases.
Combination meter  The shift position indicator and OD OFF indicator turn OFF.
 The speedometer is inoperative.
 The odo/trip meter stops.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
IPDM E/R When the ignition switch is ON,
 The headlamps (Lo) turn ON.
 The cooling fan continues to rotate.

CAN Diagnosis with CONSULT-IIIINFOID:0000000006220519
CAN diagnosis on CONSULT-III extracts the root
cause by receiving the following information.
 Response to the system call
 Control unit diagnosis information
 Self-diagnosis
 CAN diagnostic support monitor
SKIB8741E
Unit name Major symptom
ECM  Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
 Engine speed drops.
BCM  Reverse warning chime does not sound.
 The front wiper moves under continuous operation mode even though the front
wiper switch being in the intermittent position.
 The room lamp does not turn ON.
 The engine does not start (if an error or malfunction occurs while turning the igni- tion switch OFF.)
 The steering lock does not release (if an error or malfunction occurs while turning the ignition switch OFF.)
EPS control unit The steeri ng effort increases.
Combination meter  The tachometer and the speedometer do not move.
 Warning lamps turn ON.
 Indicator lamps do not turn ON.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
IPDM E/R When the ignition switch is ON,
 The headlamps (Lo) turn ON.
 The cooling fan continues to rotate.
