LIN Communication Line Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Kia Sorento. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Engine "ON"
  2. Perform "Oscilloscope" procedure.
  3. Set WIPER & MIST SWITCH" up "INT (Auto)".
  4. Measure the signal waveform between "RAIN SENSOR_LIN LINE" Pin No. 2 (LIN) terminal of "BCM" harness connector and chassis ground.

    Specification:  Refer to Figure below

  5. Is the measured value within specification?

    YES 

    • Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
    • Repair or replace as necessary, go to "VERIFICATION OF REPAIR " procedure.

    NO 

    • If the voltage of measured signal waveform is the battery voltage level (about 12V)
      • Check LIN line short to battery.
      • Check LIN line open/poor connection.
    • If the voltage of measured signal waveform is the ground voltage level (about 0V), check LIN line short to ground.
    • Repair or replace as necessary, go to "VERIFICATION OF REPAIR " procedure.
