YES
The B-CAN_L to B-CAN_H wire is OK. Go to step 3.
NO
Repair an open or high resistance in the B-CAN_H and/or B-CAN_L wire (S) between the receiving control unit and the transmitting control unit.
- Determine possible failure area (the receiving control unit or the transmitting control unit)
-1. Reconnect all connectors.
- 2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
- 3. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
Clear DTCs
- 4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
