Controller Area Network (Can) System: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2004 Land Rover Discovery, 2003 Land Rover Discovery, 2002 Land Rover Range Rover, 2002 Land Rover Discovery, and 2001 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The controller area network (CAN) system is a high speed serial interface between the ECM and the Electronic Automatic Transmission (EAT) ECU. The CAN system uses a 'data bus' to transmit information messages between the ECM and the EAT ECU. Because there are only two components in this CAN system, one will transmit information messages and the other will receive information messages, and vice-versa.
