DTC B1000: Communication Bus Line Error

NOTE: If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A  .
  1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
  3. Wait for 6 seconds or more.
  4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC B1000 indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step 5.

    NO  -Intermittent failure. The communication bus line is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections, or worn/shorted wires. If the connections are good, check the battery condition (see BATTERY ) and the charging system.

  5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Are DTCs B1008, B1011, and B1032 also indicated with DTC B1000? 

    YES  -Go to step 6.

    NO  -Faulty MICU; replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.

  6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  7. Disconnect the appropriate connector at each control unit in the table one at a time. Clear the DTCs, then recheck for DTCs after each unit is disconnected.
    CONTROL UNIT SPECIFICATION

    Control Unit Appropriate Connector
    MICU Under-dash fuse/relay box connector Q (16P)
    Gauge control module (tach) 36P connector
    Immobilizer-keyless control unit 7P connector
    Climate control unit 32P connector

    Is DTC B1000 indicated with each individual unit disconnected? 

    YES  -Go to step 8.

    NO  -Replace the control unit that was disconnected and B1000 did not reset.

  8. Disconnect the under-dash fuse/relay box connector Q(16P).
  9. Check for continuity between the under-dash fuse/ relay box connector Q(16P) No. 6 terminal and body ground.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Repair the short to ground in the wire.

    NO  -Go to step 10.

  10. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  11. Check for voltage between the under-dash fuse/ relay box connector Q (16P) No. 6 terminal and body ground.

DTC B1008: MICU Lost Communication with Gauge Control Module (A/T Message)

NOTE: If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A  .
  1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
  3. Wait for 6 seconds or more.
  4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC B1008 indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step 5.

    NO  -Intermittent failure, the gauge control module is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections at gauge control module (tach) 36P connector and at the under-dash fuse/relay box connector Q (16P). If the connections are good, check the battery condition (see BATTERY ) and the charging system.

  5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Are DTCs B1011 and B1032 also indicated with DTC B1008? 

    YES  -Check for an open in the communication circuit between the MICU and the gauge control module (tach). If the circuit is bad, repair the open.

    NO  -Go to the gauge control module (tach) input test (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE (TACH) INPUT TEST ).

DTC B1011: MICU Lost Communication with Gauge Control Module (VSP/NE Message)

NOTE: If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A  .
  1. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and then back ON (II).
  3. Wait for 6 seconds or more.
  4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC B1011 indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step 5.

    NO  -Intermittent failure, the gauge control module is OK at this time. Check for loose or poor connections at gauge control module (tach) 36P connector and at under-dash fuse/relay box connector Q (16P). If the connections are good, check the battery condition (see BATTERY ) and the charging system.

  5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Are DTCs B1008 and B1032 also indicated with DTC B1011? 

    YES  -Check for an open in the communication circuit between the MICU and the gauge control module (tach). If the circuit is bad, repair the open.

    NO  -Go to the gauge control module (tach) input test (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE (TACH) INPUT TEST ).
