DTC B27A3: Open in Rear Door Electrical Antenna Circuit, Drivers Side [09/2014 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION 
    1. Turn the power switch off.
    2. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH).

      OK

      Connectors are properly connected.

    Result:  NG

    NG 

    CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY 

    Result:  OK

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - REAR DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY LH AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the N94 and N98 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connectors.
    2. Disconnect the R11 rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH) connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N98-17 (CLG3) - R11-6 (ANT1) Always Below 1 Ω
      N98-18 (CG3B) - R11-3 (ANT2) Always Below 1 Ω
      N94-1 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      R11-2 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      N98-17 (CLG3) or R11-6 (ANT1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      N98-18 (CG3B) or R11-3 (ANT2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    Result:  NG

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result:  OK

    OK
