Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Operating the engine switch, any switches or any doors triggers related ECU and sensor communication with the CAN, which causes resistance variation.

  1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
    1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal before measuring the resistances of the main wire and the branch wire.
      CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
      NOTE:
      • w/ Navigation System:

        After the engine switch is turned off, the HDD navigation system requires approximately 6 minutes to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, wait 6 minutes or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      • When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (See INITIALIZATION ).
  2. CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS WIRE (NETWORK GATEWAY ECU BRANCH WIRE) 
    1. Disconnect the E31 network gateway ECU connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Resistance

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE NETWORK GATEWAY ECU BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR (CA1H, CA1L) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NETWORK GATEWAY ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
      NOTE: When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (See INITIALIZATION ).
    2. Disconnect the E31 network gateway ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E31-4 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Voltage 

    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

    Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
    E31-2 (BATT) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
    E31-10 (IG1) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
    E31-9 (IG2) - Body ground

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: REPLACE NETWORK GATEWAY ECU  (See REMOVAL )
