Hiace 280 GS possible Canbus issue - Expert required!

[IslandK]

Hi,
I have a 2005 plate Hiace 280GS with the 2.5 D-4-D engine. The van is low mileage (under 60k) and in excellent condition and I was hoping for a long life from it. However, on the day it passed its MOT and after a routine service, it failed to fire up. The engine turns over but the injectors are not firing. No warning lights show. So far the following has been done:

• Earths checked and cleaned. Visual check made of all accessible contacts.
• Fuel pressure checked in common rail and all ok.
• Initial diagnostics suggested a fault or short in the EDU circuit.
• ECU and EDU removed checked and passed ok by a specialist( they were even rigged to injectors which fired happily).
• A check by an auto electrician showed a voltage spike in the ABS circuit. Removal of the relay saw the van fire and run, but only for a short time (presumably until the ECU had remapped the system?) The ABS was removed, checked and found fault free.
• Further diagnostics suggested a fault in the canbus, with the resistance at one end of the canbus circuit reading 120 ohms and 0 at the other (it should be 60 ohms - two 120 ohm resistors in parallel reducing down to 60 ohms).

I have no idea what has caused this to happen so suddenly and don't really know what to do for the best, so I need somebody with an in depth knowledge of Hiace electrics or who has experienced a similar problem for some advice or thoughts please! I'm actually based in the UK but having no luck here; knowing how you guys love Hiaces hopefully someone will have an idea.
