Diagnosis Item 11: Diagnose when the M.U.T.-III cannot receive the data sent by steering wheel sensor.



caution When servicing a CAN bus line, earth yourself by touching a metal object such as an unpainted water pipe. If you fail to do, a component connected to the CAN bus line may be broken.

FUNCTION


The diagnostic result demonstrates that "the M.U.T.-III cannot receive the sent data from the steering wheel sensor" when the M.U.T.-III checks the periodically sent data from each ECU and cannot receive the steering wheel sensor data only.

TROUBLE JUDGEMENT CONDITIONS


M.U.T.-III judges the trouble when the periodically sent data from steering wheel sensor cannot be received.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Connector check: joint connector (CAN3) <LHD> or joint connector (CAN4) <RHD> and steering wheel sensor connector


caution The strand end of the twist wire should be within 10 cm from the connector. For details refer to .
When checking the joint connector, ensure that its wiring harness side and its short pins are not damaged.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Repair the defective connector. Replace the joint connector as necessary.

STEP 2. Resistance measurement at joint connector (CAN3) <LHD> or joint connector (CAN4) <RHD> and steering wheel sensor connector.


caution A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to .
caution The test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to .
(1)Disconnect joint connector (CAN3) <LHD> or joint connector (CAN4) <RHD> and the steering wheel sensor connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.
(3)
caution When measuring the resistance, disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer to .
Ensure that the negative battery terminal is disconnected.
(4)Continuity between joint connector (CAN3) terminal No.6 and steering wheel sensor connector terminal No.3 <LHD>
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)
(5)Continuity between joint connector (CAN3) terminal No.17 and steering wheel sensor connector terminal No.4 <LHD>
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)
(6)Continuity between joint connector (CAN4) terminal No.8 and steering wheel sensor connector terminal No.3 <RHD>
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)
(7)Continuity between joint connector (CAN4) terminal No.19 and steering wheel sensor connector terminal No.4 <RHD>
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

<All the resistances measure 2 Ω or less> Power supply to the steering wheel sensor may be suspected. Diagnose the steering wheel sensor. Refer to GROUP 35C - Troubleshooting .
NO : <Either or all of the resistances measure more than 2 Ω> Repair the wiring harness between joint connector (CAN3) <LHD> or joint connector (CAN4) <RHD> and the steering wheel sensor connector.
