BEAN uses a single wire voltage drive protocol. The BEAN communication signal varies from zero to a nominal 10 volts. The circuit is at rest
when at zero volts.

When a BEAN network is operating normally, oscilloscope probes can be placed at any point on the network and the signal patterns will be
perfectly identical. That’s because the network is continuous and the signal at any point is the same.

Dual Trace - Open BEAN
An open circuit in a bus segment of a BEAN network separates the network into two parts. Similarly, two opens in the ring portion of the
network also separate the network into two parts. Now the network is no longer continuous.
Though separated into two different networks, the ECUs on each half continue to communicate with each other. The result is different BEAN

Short CANH or CANL to B+
Shorting CANH to B+ boosts the circuit’s idling voltage from 2.5V to battery voltage. Though the ECUs in the circuit are unable to raise CANH
voltage above B+, they are able to lower CANL enough to create a voltage differential and the appearance of communication.
When CANL is connected to B+, the circuit’s idling voltage becomes battery voltage. The ECUs cannot drag the CANL line voltage lower
CAN
because it is connected directly to B+, nor can they raise the CANH line voltage above B+. The voltage spikes on the line are not interpreted as
communication and none of the ECUs appear in the CAN bus check.
Measuring CANH and CANL with a DVOM would likely show both lines very close to B+.

Grounding the CANH side of the CAN bus brings the idling voltage of both lines to 0V. With CANH tied to ground, the ECUs cannot generate
a positive voltage on the line. On the CANL line, the ECUs can’t create a pulse lower than 0V. The spikes on the line are not interpreted as
communication and none of the ECUs appear in a CAN bus check.

Grounding the CANL side of the CAN bus brings the idling voltage of both lines to 0V. With CANL tied to ground, the ECUs cannot generate a

Open in CANH or CANL (Main Bus)
With an open in either CANH or CANL on the main bus, part of the circuit loses its connection with one of the terminating resistors. The purpose
of the resistors is to help keep signals from “bouncing” and generating noise. Though these waveforms show apparent communication, you can
tell the circuits have a problem because:
• Idling voltage is NOT 2.5V
CAN
• CANH voltage range is NOT 2.5V to 3V
• CANL voltage range is NOT 2.5V to 1.5V

With opens in both CANH and CANL on the main bus, the circuit is divided into two parts, each having only one terminating resistor. As in the
