Diagnostic Procedure

DTC U0233:00 [BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE] DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Action
1 INSPECT BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE (RH) CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  • Disconnect the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) connector.
  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
  • Is the connector normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 6.
2 INSPECT BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE (LH) CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Disconnect the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH) connector.
  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
  • Is the connector normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 6.
3 INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT BETWEEN BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE (RH) AND (LH) FOR SHORT TO GROUND
  • Verify that the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) and (LH) connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
    • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal A
    • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal B
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal A-Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH) terminal A
  • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal B-Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH) terminal B

If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 6.
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT BETWEEN BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE (RH) AND (LH) FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
  • Verify that the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) and (LH) connectors are disconnected.
  • Connect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on).
  • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal A
    • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal B
  • Is the voltage 0 V?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between following terminals:
  • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal A-Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH) terminal A
  • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal B-Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH) terminal B

If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to Step 6.
5 INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT BETWEEN BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE (RH) AND (LH) FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  • Verify that the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) and (LH) connectors are disconnected.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal A-Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH) terminal A
  • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal B-Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH) terminal B
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal A-Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH) terminal A
  • Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (RH) terminal B-Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH) terminal B

If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to the next step.
6 VERIFY IF MALFUNCTIONING LOCATION IS BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULES (RH) DEPENDING ON REPEATABILITY
  • Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 8.
7 VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
  • Is the same DTC displayed?
Yes Replace the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH), then go to the next step.
(See BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Go to the next step.
8 VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
  • Are any other DTCs displayed?
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
(See DTC TABLE [BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE] .)
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
