Precautions On How To Repair The Can Bus Lines
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If the CAN bus line(s) are repaired, renew all the twisted wires between the end connectors. If the wiring harness is partially repaired, or only CAN_L or CAN_H line is repaired, noise suppression is deteriorated, causing a communication error.
- If the connector or wire on the main bus line or the sub-bus wire is replaced, the frayed end of the twisted wire should be within 10 cm (4 inches) from the connector. If it exceeds 10 cm (4 inches), twist the wiring harness just like the original twisted wire. If the frayed end exceeds 10 cm (4 inches), noise suppression is deteriorated, causing a communication error.
- If a sub-bus line is repaired, splice a new wire directly into the main bus line. If a new wire is spliced into the sub-bus line, which is connected to another device, the CAN communication will be disabled.
