High Speed Controller Area Network 3 (HS-CAN3)
The HS-CAN3, or the I-CAN, operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and is designed for real time audio, multimedia and driver information transfer and control. Modules on the HS-CAN3 communicate using bussed messages. HS-CAN3 uses an unshielded twisted pair cable, data bus (+) and data bus (-) circuits, and allows sharing of information between all modules on the network.
The GWM is used as a gateway for the messages to transfer between the scan tool and the modules on the HS-CAN3.
The GWM translates the diagnostic messages from the HS-CAN2 to the HS-CAN3 and vice versa, allowing communication between the modules on the HS-CAN3 and the scan tool.
