5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
ServiceINFOID:0000000006113090
 Disconnect battery negative terminal in advance.
 Disconnect air bag system line in advance.
 Never tamper with or force air bag lid open, as this may adversely affect air bag performance.
 Be careful not to scratch pad and other parts.
 When removing or disassembling any part, be careful not to damage or deform it. Protect parts, that may get
in the way with a shop cloth.
 When removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool, cover the tool surface with vinyl tape to protect parts.
 Keep removed parts protected with a shop cloth.
 If a clip is deformed or damaged, replace it.
 If an unreusable part is removed, replace it with a new one.
 Tighten bolts and nuts firmly to the specified torque.
 After reassembly is complete, check that each part functions correctly.
 Remove stains via the following procedure.
Water-soluble stains:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tightly. After wiping off the stain, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Oil stain:
Dissolve a synthetic detergent in warm water (density of 2 to 3%), dip the cloth, then wipe off the stain with the
cloth. Next, dip the cloth in fresh water and squeeze it tightly. Then wipe off the detergent completely. Then
wipe the area with a soft dry cloth.
 Never use any organic solvent, such as thinner or benzine.

NOTE:
 When data link connector branch line is open, transmi
ssion and reception of CAN communication signals
are not affected. Therefore, no symptoms occur. However, be sure to repair malfunctioning circuit.
 The model (all units on CAN communication system are Diag on CAN) cannot perform CAN diagnosis with
CONSULT-III if the following error occurs. The error is judged by the symptom.
Example: Main Line Between Data Link Connector and ABS Actuator and Electr ic Unit (Control Unit) Open Circuit
Unit name Major symptom
ECM
Normal operation.
BCM
EPS control unit
Combination meter
ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit)
TCM
IPDM E/R
Error Difference of symptom
Data link connector branch line open circuit Normal operation.
CAN-H, CAN-L harness short-circuit Most of the units which are connected to the CAN communication
system enter fail-safe mode or are deactivated.
SKIB8740E
Unit name Major symptom
ECM Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
BCM  Reverse warning chime does not sound.
 The front wiper moves under continuous operation mode even though the front wip-
er switch being in the intermittent position.
EPS control unit The steering effort increases.
Combination meter  The shift position indicator and OD OFF indicator turn OFF.
 The speedometer is inoperative.
 The odo/trip meter stops.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
IPDM E/R When the ignition switch is ON,
 The headlamps (Lo) turn ON.
 The cooling fan continues to rotate.

wiper switch being in the intermittent position.
 The room lamp does not turn ON.
 The engine does not start (if an error or malfunction occurs while turning the igni- tion switch OFF.)
 The steering lock does not release (if an error or malfunction occurs while turning the ignition switch OFF.)
EPS control unit The steeri ng effort increases.
Combination meter  The tachometer and the speedometer do not move.
 Warning lamps turn ON.
 Indicator lamps do not turn ON.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
