Subsection XX (CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN))

CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN)

GENERAL
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol is an
ISO standard for serial data communication. The
CAN bus links the ECM, multifunction gauge and
DPS module together so that they can communi-
cate to each other and interact as required. The
components (modules) are connected together
by 2 wires and are in constant communication
at a rate of about every 20 milliseconds. CAN
lines consist of a pair of wires (WHITE/BEIGE and
BEIGE/GREEN).
If a component or system malfunction is de-
tected, a module (ECM, multifunction gauge or
DPS) may generate a fault code, which it trans-
mits through the CAN bus as a signal. The fault
signal may be used for various functions such
as triggering the display of an error message
in the multifunction gauge cluster, turning on a
fault indicator light, limiting or inhibiting vehicle or
engine operation, or viewed using the B.U.D.S.
software for troubleshooting.
