Diagnosis Item 29: Diagnose when the M.U.T.-III cannot receive the data sent by electric tailgate control unit <vehicles with electric tailgate>.


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



TROUBLE JUDGEMENT CONDITIONS



PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Damaged harness wires and connectors
  • Power supply circuit malfunction of the electric tailgate control unit
  • Malfunction of the electric tailgate control unit

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Connector check: joint connector (CAN5) and electric tailgate control unit connector
caution The strand end of the twist wire should be within 10 cm from the connector. For details refer to .
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 (CAN5) and electric tailgate control unit connector.
caution A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to .
caution The test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to .
(1)Disconnect joint connector (CAN5) and the electric tailgate control unit 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. For details refer to .
Ensure that the negative battery terminal is disconnected.
(4)Continuity between joint connector (CAN5) terminal No.8 and electric tailgate control unit connector terminal No.7
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)
(5)Continuity between joint connector (CAN5) terminal No.19 and electric tailgate control unit connector terminal No.8
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)
caution Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair procedure. For details refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?
<All the resistances measure 2 Ω or less> Power supply to the electric tailgate control unit may be suspected. Diagnose the electric tailgate. Refer to GROUP 42A - Troubleshooting .
NO : <Either or all of the resistances measure more than 2 Ω> Check the intermediate connector, and repair if necessary. If the intermediate connector is in good condition, repair the wiring harness between joint connector (CAN5) and the electric tailgate control unit connector.
