General Description
To make system be more efficient, Personal IC Card system(hereinafter referred to PIC system) applies LIN(Controller Area Network) communication system. CAN is a kind of communication system which can make related component share system information with just two line instead of complex individual signal line.
It consists of related component and CAN BUS which consists of CAN high line and CAN low line.
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
To make communication be more accurate, every signal via CAN BUS contains error flame. Each component counts error and if accumulative error count in one node is above specified value, the ECM sets DTC 'B1603' and pertinent component is electronically separated.
DTC Description
This code means that there is a problem in CAN BUS between BCM and following control modules; Assist Door Module (ADM), Drive Door Module (DDM), Power Seat Unit (PS), tilt/telescope contor unit and Personal Identification Card (PIC).
It is set if the can line short circuited each other is short circuited to battery/ground.
It is unable to transmit data to other module when this code is set but receiving data is possible.

Monitor DTC Status
1.
Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).
2.
Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF"
3.
Selet "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)"mode and monitor "DTC Status" parameter.

Fig 3) DTC B1603.
4.
Is the DTC 'B1603' present ?

▶ Go to " Inspection/Repair " procedure.

▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or ECM's connector or was repaired and ECM 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.

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 BCM 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 "Component Inspection" procedure.

Component Inspection
Check Related Component.
1.
Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).
2.
Ignition "ON" & engine "OFF"
3.
Selet "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)"mode and monitor "DTC Status" parameter.
4.
Check if the DTC is erased while disconnecting related component one after another.
* Related component : BCM,PIC ECU..
5.
Is the DTC erased ?

▶ Substitute with a known-good pertinent component and check for proper operation.If the problem is corrected, replace pertinent component and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ 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.

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.
