Precautions for Trouble Diagnosis

INFOID:0000000009174923

CAUTION:

Follow the instructions listed below. Failure to do this may cause damage to parts:

• Never apply 7.0 V or more to the measurement terminal.

• Use a tester with open terminal voltage of 7.0 V or less.

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal when

checking the harness. 

Precautions for Harness Repair

INFOID:0000000009174924

• Solder the repaired area and wrap tape around the soldered area.

NOTE:

A fray of twisted lines must be within 110 mm (4.33 in).

• Bypass connection is never allowed at the repaired area.

NOTE:

Bypass connection may cause CAN communication error. The

spliced wire becomes separated and the characteristics of twisted

line are lost. 

• Replace the applicable harness as an assembly if error is detected on the shield lines of CAN communica-

tion line.

CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM : System Description

INFOID:0000000009174925

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-

tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-

tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other

control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2

communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.

Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
