DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 8: Diagnose When The Scan Tool Cannot Receive The Data Sent By KOS&OSS-ECU. <Vehicles With KOS>: Diagnosis

  1. STEP 1. Connector check: joint connector (CAN1) and KOS&OSS-ECU connector 
    CAUTION: The strand end of the twist wire should be within 10 cm (4 inches) from the connector. For details refer to SERVICE PRECAUTIONS .

    When checking the joint connector, ensure that its wiring harness side and its short pins are not damaged.

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    1. YES:  Go to Step  2.
    2. NO:  Repair the faulty connector. Replace the joint connector as necessary.
  2. STEP 2. Resistance measurement at joint connector (CAN1) and KOS&OSS-ECU connector. 
    CAUTION:
    1. Disconnect joint connector (CAN1) and the KOS&OSS-ECU connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
      CAUTION: When measuring the resistance, disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer to SERVICE PRECAUTIONS .
    3. Ensure that the negative battery terminal is disconnected.
    4. Continuity between joint connector (CAN1) terminal No. 11 and KOS&OSS-ECU connector terminal No. 35

      OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less) 

    5. Continuity between joint connector (CAN1) terminal No. 22 and KOS&OSS-ECU connector terminal No. 51

      OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less) 

    Q: Is the check result normal? 

    1. YES:  <All the resistances measure 2 Ω or less> Power supply to the KOS&OSS-ECU may be suspected. Diagnose the KOS. Refer to GROUP 42B - Troubleshooting P.42B-97.
    2. NO:  <Either or all of the resistances measure more than 2 > Repair the wiring harness between joint connector (CAN1) and the KOS&OSS-ECU connector.
