Can Communication System -- Diagnosis System |
BUS CHECK (COMMUNICATION MALFUNCTION DTC) |
- HINT:
- Only CAN communication system DTCs for each ECU can be output to the intelligent tester.
Select "Bus Check" from the "System Select" screen on the intelligent tester.
Select "Communication Malfunction DTC" from the "Bus Check" screen, and then select "Enter".
Select the system of the DTC to be checked and select "Details".
CAN communication system DTCs are output.

BUS CHECK (COMMUNICATION BUS CHECK) |
- HINT:
- The ECUs and sensors that are properly connected to the CAN communication system can be displayed using the intelligent tester.
Select "Communication Bus Check" from the "Bus Check" screen.
The screen displays the ECUs and sensors that are properly connected to the CAN communication system.
- HINT:
- If any properly connected ECUs or sensors are not displayed, there is a communication stop in the system (RAV4_ACA30 RM000001RSR00WX.html).
"There is no system connected to the communication bus" is displayed if there are no ECUs or sensors connected to the CAN bus.

CHECK INSTALLED SYSTEMS (ECUS AND SENSORS) THAT USE CAN COMMUNICATION |
System (ECUs and sensors) that use CAN communication vary depending on the vehicle's optional settings. Check which systems (ECUs and sensors) are installed on the vehicle.
ECU / Sensor name Installed to Brake actuator (skid control ECU) Vehicles with an anti-lock brake system ABS and traction actuator (skid control ECU) Vehicles with a vehicle stability control system Steering angle sensor Vehicles for a 2WD (with vehicle stability control system) and 4WD Yaw rate sensor Vehicles with a vehicle stability control system Air conditioning amplifier All vehicles (for Automatic air conditioning system and for Manual air conditioning system) ECM All vehicles Center airbag sensor assembly All vehicles Power steering ECU All vehicles Main body ECU All vehicles Combination meter ECU All vehicles 4WD control ECU For 4WD Certification ECU Vehicles with an entry and start system
DTC TABLE BY ECU |
- HINT:
- In the CAN communication system, CAN communication system DTCs output by the ECU can be displayed by using the intelligent tester.
- If CAN communication system DTCs are output, the trouble cannot be determined solely from the DTCs. Perform troubleshooting according to "How to Proceed with Troubleshooting" (RAV4_ACA30 RM000001RSO01MX.html).
