Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual: Open in Bus 5 Main Bus Line

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual / Power Source & Network / Networking / Can Communication System / Open in Bus 5 Main Bus Line

DESCRIPTION

There may be an open circuit in one of the bus 5 main lines when the resistance between terminals 15 (CA5H) and 16 (CA5L) of the network gateway ECU is 70 Ω or higher.

Symptom

Trouble Area

Resistance between terminals 15 (CA5H) and 16 (CA5L) of network gateway ECU is 70 Ω or higher.
  • CAN main bus line or connector
  • Network gateway ECU
  • Combination meter assembly
  • No. 5 CAN junction connector

This malfunction is not related to the lines of a bus 5 branch or to ECUs or sensors connected to a bus 5 branch.

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 5 km/h (3 mph) or more for 52 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
