Title: NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING (2008 LX570)

HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

HINT:

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

2.

INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE

Standard voltage:

11 to 14 V

If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.

3.

CHECK AND CLEAR DTC*

(a) Using the Techstream, perform the Health Check (all DTCs check).

NOTICE:

  • If there is a CAN communication trouble code that indicates that an ECU or sensor has a power malfunction or interior malfunction which is causing a communication stop, the problem may not be in the communication line.
  • When CAN communication related connectors are disconnected with the engine switch on (IG) or on (ACC), the ECU related to the connector and ECUs of related systems will store a CAN communication DTC.

CHECK V BUS CIRCUIT GND (CANH, CANL - CG)


(a) Measure the resistance of the DLC3.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition

6 (CANH) - 4 (CG)

Engine switch off

200 Ω or higher

14 (CANL) - 4 (CG)

Engine switch off

200 Ω or higher

NG

Go to CHECK CAN BUS LINE FOR SHORT TO GND

OK

8.

CHECK ECUS CONNECTED TO CAN BUS*

(a) Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.

NOTICE:

When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected INTRODUCTION: REPAIR INSTRUCTION: INITIALIZATION (2008 LX570) .

(b) Select "CAN Bus Check" from "System Select".

(c) Wait 1 minute and then check the display of the connected ECUs and sensors.

Result

Inspection Result

Proceed to

All ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed on the screen.

A

Except for the main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH), no ECUs connected to the MS bus are displayed.

The main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH) outputs the MS bus trouble code (U1002) (the MS bus main wire open or short malfunction).

B

No ECUs connected to the MS bus are displayed (the branch wire between the main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH) and V bus circuit is open).

C

Except for the network gateway ECU, no ECUs connected to the movement control bus are displayed.

The network gateway ECU outputs the movement control bus trouble code (U1002) (the movement control bus main wire open or short malfunction).

D

No ECUs connected to the movement control bus are displayed (the branch wire between the network gateway ECU and movement control bus is open).

E

An ECU or sensor that should be connected to the CAN communication system is not displayed (the ECU or sensor branch wire is open).

F

An ECU or sensor that should be connected to the CAN communication system is not displayed or display is intermittent during check (the ECU or sensor branch wire is open on one side).

G

NOTICE:

The ECUs and sensors that are not present will not be displayed. Be careful not to mistake them for communication stop malfunctions.

Inspection Result

Proceed to

An ECU connected to the V bus main wire has stored a communication trouble code (V bus main wire past malfunction).

A

The main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH) outputs the MS bus trouble code (U1002) (MS bus past malfunction).

B

The main body ECU (cowl side junction block LH) outputs a trouble code other than MS bus trouble code (U1002) (past malfunction of ECU branch wire connected to MS bus).

C

The network gateway ECU outputs the movement control bus trouble code (U1002) (movement control bus past malfunction).
