Lost Communication with Blind Spot Monitor Slave Module

The blind spot monitor sensor (master) cannot receive signals from the blind spot monitor sensor (slave)
  • Open or short in CAN bus main wire or connector
  • Open or short in No. 5 CAN junction connector
  • Blind spot monitor sensor RH
  • Power source circuit of blind spot monitor sensor RH
  • Blind spot monitor sensor RH ground circuit
  • Blind spot monitor sensor LH assembly

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When checking for DTCs, make sure that the blind spot monitor system is turned on.
  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
  • 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.

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.
