Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
Open Circuit in Main Bus
An open circuit on the main bus can be detected by measuring the resistance between HS-CAN
High and HS-CAN Low. For example, when measuring the resistance between HS-CAN High and
HS-CAN Low at the DLC, the resistance should be 60 Ohms.
When an open circuit occurs on the main bus, the resistance becomes 120 Ohm.
In this case, communication with control modules that are connected after the open circuit becomes
disabled. In the illustration below the BIU cannot communicate with ECM, EPS, and EPB.
