- 1. Body electrical system check:
1. Check for any F-CAN and B-CAN communication DTCs with the HDS.
Are there any communication DTCs?
YES
Go to the appropriate DTC troubleshooting.
NO
Go to step 2.
- 2. DTC check:

2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, then wait for 10 seconds.
3. Check for DTCs with the HDS .
DTC Description DTC 56-21 Lost communication with the PCM (PGM-FI system) 56-22 Undefined data received from the PCM (PGM-FI system) 56-23 Undefined data received from the PCM (PGM-FI system) Is DTC 56-21, 56-22, or 56-23 indicated?
YES
Go to step 3.
NO
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures . If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.
- 3. PGM-FI system check:
1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Start the engine, and see if the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) also stays on.
Does the MIL stay on longer than 30 seconds?
YES
Go to the Fuel and Emissions Systems General Troubleshooting Information - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions SystemsHow to Troubleshoot the CVT System(CVT System) .
NO
Go to step 4.
- 4. Open wire check (F-CAN_H, F-CAN_L lines):
1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.
NOTE: This step must be done to protect the PCM from damage.
3. Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector A (51P) 4. Disconnect the negative cable from the 12 volt battery, then wait at least 3 minutes.
5. Disconnect the following connector.
SRS unit connector A (39P) 6. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode PCM connector A (51P): disconnected SRS unit connector A (39P): disconnected Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 20 Test point 2 PCM connector A (51P) No. 2 Test point 1 SRS unit connector A (39P) No. 21 Test point 2 PCM connector A (51P) No. 1 Is there continuity?
YES
The F-CAN_H and F-CAN_L wires are OK. Faulty SRS unit or poor connection at SRS unit connector A (39P) and the SRS unit. Check the connection; if the connection is OK, replace the SRS unit . If the DTC does not clear, replace the engine compartment wire harness or the dashboard wire harness.
NO
Open in the harness between SRS unit connector A (39P) terminal No. 20 and PCM connector A (51P) terminal No. 2, or between SRS unit connector A (39P) terminal No. 21 and PCM connector A (51P) terminal No. 1 (engine compartment wire harness or dashboard wire harness); replace the faulty harness, then clear the DTC.
