VEHICLE PROTECTION SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY

The Engine Control Node sends a message via the C-CAN to the Body Computer, which makes it available via the B-CAN, to the Instrument Panel node.

Faults in the C-CAN will turn on the warning lights of the control units that communicate on this network. Verification of the CAN Information is intended to detect this situation

Results of the tests
1PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems encounteredOperation

Connect the Examiner diagnostic instrument and check CAN information for the absence of:

- Inactive node/s

- Node/s with error/s

- Node/s with CAN error/s

Move on to Step 6

1. Impossible to communicate with the Body Computer

2. Instrument Panel Node inactive and/or with error

3. Engine Control Node inactive and/or incorrect

4. Fault on CAN network

1. Move on to Step 2

2. Move on to Step 5

3. Move on to Step 9

4. Move on to Step 13

2CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
