Principles of Operation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

Both the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) and Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MSCAN) use an unshielded twisted-pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits.

The HS-CAN  operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and is designed for real time information transfer and control. The MS-CAN  operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps for bus messages and is designed for general information transfer.
