Caution / Notice / Hint

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Toyota Corolla, 2017 Toyota Corolla, 2016 Toyota Corolla, 2015 Toyota Corolla, and 2014 Toyota Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. PRECAUTIONS WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING 
    NOTE:
    • Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output.
    • If the CAN communication system is malfunctioning, check the contact pressure of the terminals in connectors, as insufficient terminal contact pressure may be the cause.

      Refer to ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE [08/2013 - ]

    • Refer to Diagnosis System for CAN communication system DTCs.
    • Refer to troubleshooting of each system if DTCs regarding the CAN communication system are not output.
    • Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the ignition switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key or any switches, or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.
    • After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

      Refer to PRECAUTION [08/2016 - ]

    1. CAN communication DTCs are output for CAN main bus and CAN branch malfunctions as well as for internal malfunctions or power source malfunctions of ECUs or sensors for systems using CAN communication. Therefore, when DTCs for internal malfunctions or power source malfunctions of corresponding systems are output at the same time as CAN communication DTCs, troubleshoot according to the internal malfunction and power source malfunction DTCs.
    2. An open in a branch for ECUs or sensors that are connected to the CAN main bus can be checked by performing a CAN bus check using the Techstream. (This inspection is possible when all the main bus lines are normal.)
    3. If there was a communication error, the probable ECU or sensor for which communication stopped can be determined using the combination of communication DTCs (DTCs that start with U) that are output.
    4. When an open circuit is detected, before disconnecting related connectors for inspection, push in on the connector body to check that the connector is not loose or disconnected.
    5. When a connector is disconnected, check that the terminals and connector body are not cracked, deformed or corroded.
