WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.CHECK DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (A ECU) |
Disconnect the A ECU connector and check for DTCs B1266 and B1267.

- OK:
- Neither DTC B1266 nor DTC B1267 is output.
- Reconnect the connector before starting the next check.
The A ECU in the instrument panel system bus represents the air conditioning amplifier.
If the result is as specified, the disconnected A ECU (air conditioning amplifier) is malfunctioning.
3.CHECK WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN A ECU AND B ECU |
Disconnect the B ECU connector and check for DTCs B1266 and B1267.

- OK:
- Neither DTC B1266 nor DTC B1267 is output.
- Reconnect the connector before starting the next check.
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.
5.CHECK WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN B ECU AND C ECU |
Disconnect the C ECU connector and check for DTCs B1266 and B1267.

- OK:
- Neither DTC B1266 nor DTC B1267 is output.
- Reconnect the connector before starting the next check.
- 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.
| REPAIR OR REPLACE WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN B ECU AND 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.

Disconnect the A ECU, C ECU and gateway ECU connectors.
Measure the resistance and voltage of the wire harness side connectors.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection | Specified Condition |
A ECU connector/gateway ECU connector - Body ground | Below 1 V |
C ECU connector/gateway ECU connector - Body ground | Below 1 V |
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection | Specified Condition |
A ECU connector/gateway ECU connector - Body ground | 10 kΩ or higher |
C ECU connector/gateway ECU connector - Body ground | 10 kΩ or higher |
The A ECU in the instrument panel system bus represents the air conditioning amplifier.
The C ECU in the instrument panel system bus represents the combination meter ECU.
| REPAIR OR REPLACE WIRE HARNESS BETWEEN GATEWAY ECU AND A ECU OR C ECU |
