54C-575

STEP 3. Check joint connector (3) C-02 for loose, corroded 
or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector.

CAUTION

The strand end of the twisted wire should be within 10 cm 
(4 inches) from the connector. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

Check the joint connector at the wiring harness side for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in 
the connector, and also check the short pin behind the connec-
tor for corrosion, deformation and delamination.
Q: Is joint connector (3) C-02 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair the damaged parts. Replace the joint 

connector as necessary.

STEP 4. Check the CAN bus lines between intermediate 
connector C-29 and the joint connector (3). Measure the 
resistance between intermediate connector C-29 and joint 

connector (3) C-02.

CAUTION

A digital multimeter should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

CAUTION

The test wiring harness should be used. For details refer to 

P.54C-4

.

(1) Disconnect joint connector (3) C-02 and intermediate 

connector C-29, and measure the resistance between the 
wiring harness side connector of joint connector (3) C-02 
and the female side connector of intermediate connector 
C-29 (instrument panel wiring harness side).

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

CAUTION

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. For details refer 
to 

P.54C-4

.

(3) Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

54C-577

(4) Measure the resistance between intermediate connector 

terminal 12 and joint connector (3) terminal 20.

OK: 2 ohms or less

(5) Measure the resistance between intermediate connector 

terminal 11 and joint connector (3) terminal 9.

OK: 2 ohms or less

CAUTION

Strictly observe the specified wiring harness repair proce-
dure. For details refer to 

P.54C-5

.

Q: Do all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less?

YES : If all the resistances measure 2 ohms or less, power 

supply to the powertrain control module may be 
suspected. Diagnose the engine. Refer to GROUP 
13A, MFI diagnosis 

P.13A-944

 <2.4L engine> or 

GROUP 13B, MFI diagnosis 

P.13B-968

 <3.8L 

engine>.

NO :  If either of the resistances measures more than 2 

ohms or all the resistances measure more than 2 
ohms, repair the wiring harness wires between 
intermediate connector C-29 and joint connector (3).

DIAGNOSTIC ITEM 18: Diagnose the lines between CAN main bus line and the powertrain control 
module <Vehicles with ABS>

CAUTION

When servicing a CAN bus line, ground yourself 
by touching a metal object such as an unpainted 
water pipe. If you fail to do so, a component con-
nected to the CAN bus line may be damaged.
