Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus IS F. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Turn the engine switch off before measuring the resistance of CAN bus main wires and CAN bus branch wires.
After the engine switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder warning system are not in operation.
Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the engine switch, any other switches, or the doors. If any doors need to be opened in order to check connectors, open the doors and leave them open.

HINT.

Operating the engine switch, any switches, or any doors triggers related ECU and sensor communication with the CAN. This communication will cause the resistance value to change

CHECK OPEN IN CAN BUS WIRE (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR BRANCH LINE)

Turn the engine switch off.
Disconnect the steering angle sensor connector (J23)

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below

Standard Resistance

RESISTANCE REFERENCE

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Value
J23-10(CANH) - J23-9 (CANL)	Engine switch off	54 to 69 Ω
