    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      CAN gateway 16P connector: disconnected
      EPS control unit A (11P) connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 CAN gateway 16P connector No. 11:
    Test point 2 EPS control unit A (11P) connector No. 11 - Refer to: EPS Control Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2018-19)
    Test point 1 CAN gateway 16P connector No. 3:

If DTC U0131-00 is not indicated after substitution, replace the EPS control unit .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the CAN gateway and the EPS control unit.

  4. Open wire check (F-CAN_L, F-CAN_H (L4 engine) or F-CAN A_L, F-CAN A_H lines (V6 engine))

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    CAN gateway 16P connector
    Multipurpose camera unit 20P connector

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      CAN gateway 16P connector: disconnected
      Multipurpose camera unit 20P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 CAN gateway 16P connector No. 11:
    Test point 2 Multipurpose camera unit 20P connector No. 13 - Refer to: Multipurpose Camera Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2018-19)
    Test point 1 CAN gateway 16P connector No. 3:
