INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.CHECK DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (A ECU)

Disconnect the A ECU connector and check for DTCs B1214 and B1215.

Dtc B1214  Short To B+ In Door System Communication Bus Malfunction. MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

  • OK:
  • Neither DTC B1214 nor DTC B1215 is output.
  • NOTICE:
  • Reconnect the connector before starting the next check.
  • HINT:
The A ECU in the door system bus represents the main body ECU RH (cowl side J/B RH).
If the result is as specified, the disconnected A ECU (main body ECU RH (cowl side J/B RH)) is malfunctioning.
OK
Go to step 4
OK
Go to step 4
3.CHECK WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN A ECU AND B ECU

Disconnect the B ECU connector and check for DTCs B1214 and B1215.

  • OK:
  • Neither DTC B1214 nor DTC B1215 is output.
  • NOTICE:
  • Reconnect the connector before starting the next check.
  • HINT:
If the result is as specified, the wire harness between the A ECU and B ECU is functioning normally but the disconnected B ECU is malfunctioning.
NG
Go to step 6
OK
Go to step 6
5.CHECK WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN B ECU AND C ECU

Disconnect the C ECU connector and check for DTCs B1214 and B1215.

  • OK:
  • Neither DTC B1214 nor DTC B1215 is output.
  • NOTICE:
  • Reconnect the connector before starting the next check.
  • HINT:
  • If the result is as specified, the wire harness between the B ECU and C ECU is functioning normally but the disconnected C ECU is malfunctioning.
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN B ECU AND C ECU
OK
REPLACE C ECU
6.CHECK WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN GATEWAY ECU AND A ECU OR C ECU

Check for a short-circuit in +B or body ground.

Dtc B1214  Short To B+ In Door System Communication Bus Malfunction. MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Disconnect the A ECU, C ECU and gateway ECU connectors.

Measure the voltage and resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

  • Standard voltage:
  • Tester ConnectionSpecified Condition
    A ECU connector/gateway ECU connector - Body groundBelow 1 V
    C ECU connector/gateway ECU connector - Body groundBelow 1 V
  • Standard resistance:
  • Tester ConnectionSpecified Condition
    A ECU connector/gateway ECU connector - Body ground10 kΩ or higher
    C ECU connector/gateway ECU connector - Body ground10 kΩ or higher
  • HINT:
The A ECU in the door system bus represents the main body ECU RH (cowl side J/B RH).
The C ECU in the door system bus represents the windshield wiper switch.
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN GATEWAY ECU AND A ECU OR C ECU
OK
REPLACE GATEWAY ECU
