ECM Terminal Arrangement

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Subaru BRZ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Before measuring the resistance of CAN bus, turn the ignition OFF and leave the vehicle as is for at least one minute without operating keys, switches, and doors. Disconnect the auxiliary battery and wait for another one minute or more.
  • After IG OFF, you may need to wait for some time before disconnecting the auxiliary battery terminal. Before starting the troubleshooting, refer to the procedure for disconnecting the auxiliary battery terminals. (Refer to WORKING PRECAUTIONS AND NOTES )
NOTE: CAN communication system (ECM and sensor) may contain customized settings due to optional configuration. Before starting the procedure, make sure what type of systems (ECM and sensor) are implemented on the vehicle.
