Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Operating the power switch, any switches or any doors triggers related ECU and sensor communication with the CAN, which causes resistance variation.

1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
   1. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal before measuring the resistances of the main wire and the branch wire
   CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation.
   NOTE:

   • After the power switch is turned OFF, the HDD navigation system requires approximately 6 minutes to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the power switch OFF, wait 6 minutes or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
   • When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (see INITIALIZATION ).
2. CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS WIRE (AFS ECU BRANCH WIRE) 
   1. Disconnect the A37 AFS ECU connector
   2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below

      Standard resistance 

   RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION
   
   

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   A37-12 (CANH) - A37-13 (CANL)	Power switch OFF	54 to 69 Ω

   NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE AFS ECU BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR (CANH, CANL) 

   OK: Go to next step 

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AFS ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
   1. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal
      NOTE: When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (see INITIALIZATION ).
   2. Disconnect the A37 AFS ECU connectors
   3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION
      
      

      Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
      A37-22 (E1) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

   4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below

      Standard voltage 

   VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION
   
   

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   A37-15 (IG) - Body ground	Power switch ON (IG)	11 to 14 V
   A37-14 (IGS) - Body ground	Power switch ON (IG)	11 to 14 V
