Diagnosis Item 16: Diagnose when the M.U.T.-III cannot receive the data sent by steering wheel sensor. <Vehicles with ASC>
| caution |
When servicing a CAN bus line, earth yourself by touching a metal object such as an unpainted water pipe. If you fail to do, a component connected to the CAN bus line may be broken.
|
FUNCTION
The diagnostic result demonstrates that "the M.U.T.-III cannot receive the sent data from the steering wheel sensor" when the M.U.T.-III checks the periodically sent data from each ECU and cannot receive the steering wheel sensor data only.
TROUBLE JUDGEMENT CONDITIONS
M.U.T.-III judges the trouble when the periodically sent data from steering wheel sensor cannot be received.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Damaged harness wires and connectors
- Power supply circuit malfunction of the steering wheel sensor
- Malfunction of the column switch assembly (steering wheel sensor)
|
|
STEP 1. Connector check: joint connector (CAN3) <LHD> or joint connector (CAN4) <RHD> and column switch connector
|
|
|
| caution |
The strand end of the twist wire should be within 10 cm from the connector.
|
|
|
|
When checking the joint connector, ensure that its wiring harness side and its short pins are not damaged.
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
 Go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 Repair the defective connector. Replace the joint connector as necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. Resistance measurement at joint connector (CAN3) <LHD> or joint connector (CAN4) <RHD> and column switch connector.
|
|
|
| caution |
A digital multimeter should be used.
|
|
|
|
| caution |
The test wiring harness should be used.
|
|
|
|
(1)Disconnect joint connector (CAN3) <LHD> or joint connector (CAN4) <RHD> and the column switch connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
|
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position.
|
|
|
(3)
| caution |
When measuring the resistance, disconnect the negative battery terminal.
|
Ensure that the negative battery terminal is disconnected.
|
|
|
(4)Continuity between joint connector (CAN3) terminal No.6 and column switch connector terminal No.3 <LHD>
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)
|
|
|
(5)Continuity between joint connector (CAN3) terminal No.17 and column switch connector terminal No.4 <LHD>
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)
|
|
|
(6)Continuity between joint connector (CAN4) terminal No.6 and column switch connector terminal No.3 <RHD>
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)
|
|
|
(7)Continuity between joint connector (CAN4) terminal No.15 and column switch connector terminal No.4 <RHD>
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)
| caution |
Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair procedure.
|
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
<All the resistance measure 2 Ω or less> Go to Step 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NO : <Either or all of the resistances measure more than 2 Ω> Repair the wiring harness between joint connector (CAN3) <LHD> or joint connector (CAN4) <RHD> and the column switch connector.
|
|
|
|
|
|
STEP 3. Resistance measurement at column switch connector.
|
|
|
| caution |
A digital multimeter should be used.
|
|
|
|
(1)Remove the column switch, and measure at the equipment side.
|
|
|
(2)Resistance between column switch connector terminal Nos.3 and 4
OK: 1 kΩ or more
|
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
|
Power supply to the steering wheel sensor may be suspected. Diagnose the steering wheel sensor. Refer to GROUP 35C - Troubleshooting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace the column switch assembly (steering wheel sensor).
