DTC B2281 "P" Signal Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
The power source control ECU and the shift lock control ECU are connected by a cable and the BEAN. If the cable information and BEAN information are inconsistent, this DTC will be output.
- When the power source control ECU is replaced with a new one and the negative (-) battery terminal is connected, the power source mode becomes the IG-ON mode. When the battery is removed and reinstalled, the power source mode that was selected when the battery was removed is restored.

- If the DTCs for the multiplex network communication system malfunction are output, inspect those DTCs first.
| GO TO MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM |
|
|
2.CHECK DTC OUTPUT (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM) |
Check for the automatic transmission system DTC P0705.
- OK:
- DTC P0705 is not output.
- If DTC P0705 is output, perform troubleshooting for DTC P0705 first .
| GO TO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM |
|
|
Check that the connectors are securely connected and the terminals are not deformed or loose.
- OK:
- The connectors are securely connected and the terminals are not deformed or loose.
| REPAIR OR REPLACE CONNECTORS |
|
|
4.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU - BODY GROUND) |
Disconnect the ECU connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified Condition |
J55-6 (GND2) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
|
5.INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL ECU |
Disconnect the shift lock control ECU connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified Condition |
J48-11 (P2) - J48-8 (E) | Shift P position | Below 1 Ω |
Shift non-P position | 10 kΩ or higher |
| REPLACE SHIFT LOCK CONTROL ECU |
|
|
6.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU - SHIFT LOCK CONTROL ECU) |
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified Condition |
J55-5 (P) - J48-11 (P2) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J55-5 (P) or J48-11 (P2) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J48-8 (E) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
|
7.READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Power Source Control:Item | Measurement Item/Display (Range) | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
Shift P Sig | Shift P position/ ON or OFF | ON: Shift P position OFF: Shift non-P position | - |
- OK:
- ON (shift P position) and OFF (shift non-P position) appear on the screen.
| REPLACE POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
