DTC B27A2: Open in Front Passenger Side Electrical Antenna Circuit: Procedure

  1. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and front door outside handle assembly RH.

      OK

      Connectors are properly connected.

    NG → CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE RH AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the C35 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
    2. Disconnect the F1 front door outside handle assembly RH connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C35-5 (CLG2) - F1-6 (ANT1) Always Below 1 Ω
      C35-6 (CG2B) - F1-3 (ANT2) Always Below 1 Ω
      C35-15 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      F1-2 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      C35-5 (CLG2) or F1-6 (ANT1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C35-6 (CG2B) or F1-3 (ANT2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK CERTIFICATION ECU (OUTPUT TO FRONT PASSENGER SIDE ELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNA) 
    1. Connect the C35 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
