DTC B27A1: Open in Driver Side Electrical Antenna Circuit [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 front door outside handle assembly LH (for driver door).

      OK

      Connectors are properly connected.

    Result:  NG

    NG 

    CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY 

    Result:  OK

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY LH AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the N94 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
    2. Disconnect the Q23 front door outside handle assembly LH (for driver door) connector.
    3. Disconnect the Q18 front multiplex network door ECU LH connector.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      N94-5 (CLG1) - Q23-6 (ANT1) Always Below 1 Ω
      N94-4 (CG1B) - Q23-3 (ANT2) Always Below 1 Ω
      N94-1 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      Q23-2 (GND) - Q18-11 (OSCE) Always Below 1 Ω
      N94-5 (CLG1) or Q23-6 (ANT1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      N94-4 (CG1B) or Q23-3 (ANT2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    Result:  NG

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result:  OK

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) (OUTPUT TO DRIVER SIDE ELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNA) 
    1. Connect the N94 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
