Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus LS 600hL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
HINT:
Operating the power switch, any switches or any doors triggers related ECU and sensor communication with the CAN, which causes resistance variation.
- DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
- 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 ).
- CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS WIRE (DISPLAY AND NAVIGATION OR MULTI-DISPLAY BRANCH WIRE)
- Disconnect the L59 display and navigation (multi-display) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition L59-26 (CANH) - L59-2S (CANL) Power switch OFF 54 to 69 Ω NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE DISPLAY AND NAVIGATION OR MULTI-DISPLAY BRANCH WIRE OR CONNECTOR (CANH, CANL)
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DISPLAY AND NAVIGATION OR MULTI-DISPLAY - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND)
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminalNOTE: When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (see INITIALIZATION ).
- Disconnect the L59 display and navigation (multi-display) connectors
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below
Standard resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition L59-10 (GND1) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω - Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition L59-1 (+B1) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V L59-2 (ACC) - Body ground Power switch ON (ACC) 11 to 14 V L59-3 (IG) - Body ground Power switch ON (IG) 11 to 14 V Result
