Medium Speed CAN
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The medium speed CAN has an unshielded twisted pair cable, data plus circuit 1847 (WH/OG) and data minus, circuit 1848 (PK/OG). The medium speed CAN is not designed to operate under single point fault conditions. If either circuit is shorted to voltage or CAN data plus is shorted to ground, module-to-module and module-to-tester communication is not possible. If CAN data minus is shorted to ground or an open exists on either bus line, module-to-module and module-to-tester communication is marginal at best. The CAN bus may remain operational when one of the two termination resistors are not present.
