Nissan Murano: System Description / Trouble Diagnosis

Nissan Murano (Z52) 2015-2024 Service Manual / Electrical & Power Control / Lan System :: Can Fundamental / System Description / Trouble Diagnosis

Component Description

Component Description
Main line CAN communication line between splices
Branch line CAN communication line between splice and a control unit
Splice A point connecting a branch line with a main line
Termination circuit Circuit connected across the CAN communication system. (Resistor)
Condition of Error Detection

DTC (e.g. U1000 and U1001) of CAN communication is indicated on SELF-DIAG RESULTS on CONSULT if a CAN communication signal is not transmitted or received between units for 2 seconds or more.

CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ERROR

  • CAN communication line open (CAN-H, CAN-L, or both)

  • CAN communication line short (ground, between CAN communication lines, other harnesses)

  • Error of CAN communication control circuit of the unit connected to CAN communication line

WHEN DTC OF CAN COMMUNICATION IS INDICATED EVEN THOUGH CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IS NORMAL

  • Removal/installation of parts: Error may be detected when removing and installing CAN communication unit and related parts while turning the ignition switch ON. (A DTC except for CAN communication may be detected.)

  • Fuse blown out (removed): CAN communication of the unit may cease.

  • Voltage drop: Error may be detected if voltage drops due to discharged battery when turning the ignition switch ON (Depending on the control unit which carries out CAN communication).

  • Error may be detected if the power supply circuit of the control unit, which carries out CAN communication, malfunctions (Depending on the control unit which carries out CAN communication).

  • Error may be detected if reprogramming is not completed normally.

NOTE:

CAN communication system is normal if DTC of CAN communication is indicated on SELF-DIAG RESULTS of CONSULT under the above conditions. Erase the memory of the self-diagnosis of each control unit.

Symptom When Error Occurs in CAN Communication System

In CAN communication system, multiple control units mutually transmit and receive signals. Each control unit cannot transmit and receive signals if any error occurs on CAN communication line. Under this condition, multiple control units related to the root cause malfunction or go into fail-safe mode.

ERROR EXAMPLE

NOTE:

Each vehicle differs in symptom of each control unit under fail-safe mode and CAN communication line wiring.

Example: Main Line Between Data Link Connector and ABS Actuator and Electric Unit (Control Unit) Open Circuit

Unit name Major symptom
ECM Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
BCM
  • Reverse warning buzzer does not sound.

  • The front wiper moves under continuous operation mode even though the front wiper 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.

Example: TCM Branch Line Open Circuit

Unit name Major symptom
ECM Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
BCM Reverse warning buzzer does not sound.
EPS control unit Normal operation.
Combination meter
  • Shift position indicator and O/D OFF indicator turn OFF.

  • Warning lamps turn ON.

ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Normal operation.
TCM No impact on operation.
IPDM E/R Normal operation.

NOTE:

The model (all control units on CAN communication system are Diag on CAN) cannot perform CAN diagnosis with CONSULT if the following error occurs. The error is judged by the symptom.

Error Difference of symptom
Data link connector branch line open circuit Normal operation.
CAN-H, CAN-L harness short-circuit Most of the control units which are connected to the CAN communication system enter fail-safe mode or are deactivated.

Example: Data Link Connector Branch Line 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

NOTE:

When data link connector branch line is open, transmission and reception of CAN communication signals are not affected. Therefore, no symptoms occur. However, be sure to repair malfunctioning circuit.

Example: CAN-H, CAN-L Harness Short Circuit

Unit name Major symptom
ECM
  • Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.

  • Engine speed drops.

BCM
  • Reverse warning buzzer does not sound.

  • The front wiper moves under continuous operation mode even though the front 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 ignition switch OFF.)

  • The steering lock does not release (if an error or malfunction occurs while turning the ignition switch OFF.)

EPS control unit The steering 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.
IPDM E/R

When the ignition switch is ON,

  • The headlamps (Lo) turn ON.

  • The cooling fan continues to rotate.

CAN Diagnosis with CONSULT

CAN diagnosis on CONSULT extracts the root cause by receiving the following information.

  • Response to the system call

  • Control unit diagnosis information

  • Self-diagnosis

  • CAN diagnostic support monitor

Self-Diagnosis

If communication signals cannot be transmitted or received among control units communicating via CAN communication line, CAN communication-related DTC is displayed on the CONSULT “Self Diagnostic Result” screen.

NOTE:

The following table shows examples of CAN communication-related DTC. For other DTC, refer to the applicable sections.

DTC

Self-diagnosis item

(CONSULT indication)
DTC detection condition Inspection/Action
U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT ECM When ECM is not transmitting or receiving CAN communication signal of OBD (emission-related diagnosis) for 2 seconds or more. Start the inspection. Refer to the applicable section of the indicated control unit.
Except for ECM When a control unit (except for ECM) is not transmitting or receiving CAN communication signal for 2 seconds or more.
U1001 CAN COMM CIRCUIT When ECM is not transmitting or receiving CAN communication signal other than OBD (emission-related diagnosis) for 2 seconds or more.
U1002 SYSTEM COMM When a control unit is not transmitting or receiving CAN communication signal for 2 seconds or less.
U1010 CONTROL UNIT(CAN) When an error is detected during the initial diagnosis for CAN controller of each control unit. Replace the control unit indicating “U1010”.

How to Use CAN Communication Signal Chart

The CAN communication signal chart lists the signals transmitted/received among control units. It is useful for detecting the root cause by finding a signal related to the symptom, and by checking transmission and reception unit.
