- BRIEF DESCRIPTION
- CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial data communication system for real time application. It is an in-vehicle multiplex communication system which has a high communication speed (500 kbps) and a function to detect malfunctions.
- The CAN performs communication based on differential voltage by pairing the CANH bus line and CANL bus line.
- This vehicle uses the CAN communication system for communication between the components in the ABS with EBD & BA & TRAC & VSC system.
- The CAN has two resistors of 120 that are necessary for communication with the main bus line.
- DEFINITION OF TERMS
- Main bus line
- The main bus line is a wire harness between the two terminus circuits on the bus (communication line). This is the main bus in the CAN communication system.
- Sub bus line
- The sub bus line is a wire harness which diverges from the main bus line to an ECU or sensor.
- Terminus circuit
- The terminus circuit is a circuit which is placed to convert communication current of the CAN communication into bus voltage. It consists of a resistor and condenser. Two terminus circuits are necessary on a bus.
- CAN J/C
- The CAN J/C is a junction designed for CAN communication, which stores a terminus circuit.
- Main bus line
- COMPONENTS WHICH COMMUNICATE THROUGH THE CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
- Skid control ECU
- Steering angle sensor
- Yaw rate sensor
- ECM
- DIAGNOSTIC CODES FOR THE CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
- DTCs for the CAN communication system are as follows: U0073/94, U0123/62, U0124/95, U0126/63, U0100/65
- REMARKS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING
- Trouble in the CAN bus (communication line) can be checked from the DLC3 (except a wire break in lines other than the DLC3 sub bus line).
- The CAN communication system cannot detect trouble in the DLC3 sub bus line even though the DLC3 is also connected to the CAN communication system.
- HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE CAN J/C CONNECTOR
- In the CAN communication system, the shape of all connectors connected to the CAN J/C is the same. The connectors connected to the CAN J/C can be distinguished by the colors of the bus line and the connecting side of the connector.
