Component Location

General Description
The 6 components related with Body Control Module(hereinafter referred to BCM) connect with each other via CAN(Controller Area Network) communication system. These are BCM. Assist Door Module (ADM), Drive Door Module (DDM), Power Seat Unit (PS), tilt/telescope control unit and Personal Identification Card (PIC).
Wiper Motor Module (WMM) and Mulit-Function Switch (M/F) connect with BCM via LIN (Local Interconnect Network). Therefore it is possible to diagnose an overall system with scantool.
*¹ CAN (Cotroller Area Network) : CAN is a serial bus system especially suited for networking "intelligent" devices as well as sensors and actuators within a system or sub-system.
*² LIN (Local Interconnect Network) : LIN is a new low cost serial communication system intended to be used for distributed electronic systems in vehicles, which complements the existing portfolio of automotive multiplex networks.

DTC Description
This code means that there is a problem in LIN communcation line between BCM and M/F (multi function) switch / WMM(wiper motor module). This code is set if BCM message is not transmitted to M/F switch and MM on time. Possible cause is short circuited to ground or battery in LIN communcation line. When BCM receives LIN data, it verifies the data by comparing it with feedback data which received from LIN IC receiving line.
DTC Detecting Condition

The function for Transmitting data of the BCM do not operate normally.
Enable Conditions
BCM is not transmitted a message to M/F switch and WMM via CAN line.
Threshold Value
LIN communication line short to ground.
LIN communication line short to battery.

Signal Waveform And Data

Schematic Diagram

Monitor Scantool Data
1.
Ignition "OFF", connect scantool.
2.
Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF", select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTC)" mode.
3.
Monitor diagnostic trouble code and present of trouble code.
4.
Using a scan tool, clear the DTC.

5.
Are any DTC present?

▶ Go to "W/Harness Inspection" procedure.

▶ Displaying nothing(no DTC) shows that Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the part's and/or WMM AND M/F SW connector or was repaired and BCM memory was not cleared.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
▶ Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Terminal And Connector Inspection
1.
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems and mechanical or chemical damage.
2.
Check the following conditions:
(1)
Check for damaged harness and terminals: contact resistance, oxidation, bent or broken terminals.
(2)
Check for poor connection between ECM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks and poor terminal to wire connection.
Using a suitable male pin to ensure that contact in sockets is good. The pin should remain in position when pulled gently.
3.
Has a problem been found?

▶ Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Go to "WMM AND M/F SW Signal Circuit Inspection" procedure.

WMM And M/F SW Control Unit Signal Circuit Inspection
1.
Check LIN communication circuit
(1)
Ignition "ON" and Engine "OFF"
(2)
Connect scantool and select VEHICLE SCOPEMETER function.
(3)
Measure waveform between "LIN communication" of WMM AND M/F SW connector and chassis ground.

Specification : If LIN communication waveform is displayed, it is OK.

(4)
Is LIN communication waveform displayed within specification?

▶ Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration or damage.
Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Check the the LIN communication harness of the WMM AND M/F SW for an open and short.
Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Verification Of Vehicle Repair
After a repair, it is essential to verifying that the fault has been corrected.
1.
Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode.
2.
Using scantool, Clear DTC.
3.
Operate the vehicle within DTC Enable conditions in General information.
4.
Are any DTCs present ?

▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.

▶ System is performing to specification at this time.
