Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2026 Repair Manual: Open in Bus 2 Main Bus Line

DESCRIPTION

There may be an open circuit in one of the bus 2 main lines when the resistance between terminals 18 (CA4H) and 17 (CA4L) of the network gateway ECU is 70 Ω or higher.

Symptom

Trouble Area

Resistance between terminals 18 (CA4H) and 17 (CA4L) of network gateway ECU is 70 Ω or higher.

  • CAN main bus line or connector
  • ECM
  • Network gateway ECU

This malfunction is not related to the lines of a bus 2 branch or to ECUs or sensors connected to a bus 2 branch.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Before measuring the resistance of the CAN bus, turn the engine switch off and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more without operating the key or any switches, or opening or closing the doors. After that, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and leave the vehicle for 1 minute or more before measuring the resistance.
  • After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

  • After performing repairs, perform the DTC check procedure and confirm that the DTCs are not output again.
  • DTC check procedure: Drive the vehicle at a speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) or more for 20 seconds or more. And drive the vehicle with the dynamic radar cruise control system operated for 4 seconds or more.
  • After the repair, perform the CAN bus check and check that all the ECUs and sensors connected to the CAN communication system are displayed.

HINT:

  • Operating the engine switch, any other switches or a door triggers related ECU and sensor communication on the CAN. This communication will cause the resistance value to change.
  • Even after DTCs are cleared, if a DTC is stored again after driving the vehicle for a while, the malfunction may be occurring due to vibration of the vehicle. In such a case, wiggling the ECUs or wire harness while performing the inspection below may help determine the cause of the malfunction.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR OPEN IN CAN BUS LINES (NETWORK GATEWAY ECU)

(a) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

(b) Disconnect the J75 network gateway ECU connector.
