Communications Network
Multiplexing is a method of sending 2 or more signals simultaneously over a single circuit. Multiplexing
allows 2 or more electronic modules (nodes) to communicate simultaneously over a twisted wire pair [data
(+) and data (-)] network. The information or messages that can be communicated on these wires consists of
commands, status or data. The advantage of using multiplexing is to reduce the weight of the vehicle by
reducing the number of redundant components and electrical wiring.
The vehicle has 2 module communication networks which are connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC),
located under the driver side instrument panel:
Vehicles with the optional 4.2-inch screen and 8-inch touchscreen audio units have an Infotainment
cardiagn.com
Controller Area Network (I-CAN) that is not connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC). The Instrument
Panel Cluster (IPC) operates as the gateway for modules on the I-CAN to communicate with the scan tool
over the HS-CAN .

The Controller Area Network (CAN) uses network termination to improve communication reliability.
Termination modules are located at both ends of the network. As network messages are broadcast in the
form of voltage signals, the network voltage signals are stabilized by the termination resistors.
Each termination module has an internal 120 ohm resistor that bridges across the positive and negative bus
connection. With two 120 ohm resistors located in a parallel circuit configuration, the total network
impedance, or total resistance, is 60 ohms.

Network termination improves bus message reliability by stabilizing bus voltage and eliminating electrical
interference.
The BCM is the gateway module, translating messages on the HS-CAN to the MS-CAN and vice versa,
allowing a message to be distributed throughout both networks.
Vehicles equipped with the 4.2-inch screen or 8-inch touchscreen audio units use an I-CAN network for
these modules. The IPC is the gateway module, translating messages on the HS-CAN to the modules on
the I-CAN , and vice versa. This allows messages to be distributed throughout both networks, if required.
The BCM and IPC are the only modules on this vehicle that have this ability.

Principles of Operation
The vehicle has 3 module communication networks which are connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC),
located under the instrument panel.
Both the HS-CAN and the MS-CAN use an unshielded twisted pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits.
The HS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and is designed for real time
information transfer and control. The MS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps for
bus messages and is designed for general information transfer.
The I-CAN is not connected to the DLC . The I-CAN modules communicate with the scan tool over the HS-
CAN . The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) is used as a gateway for the messages to transfer between the
scan tool and the modules on the I-CAN .
NOTE: The oscilloscope traces below are from the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) oscilloscope taken
using the CAN setup defaults. The traces are for both data (+) and data (-) taken simultaneously (2-channel)
at a sample rate of 1 mega-sample per second (1MS/s) or greater and viewed at 20 microseconds (20µs)
per division. Readings taken with a different oscilloscope will vary from those shown. Compare any suspect
readings to a known good vehicle.

The data (+) and data (-) circuits are each regulated to approximately 2.5 volts during neutral or rested
network traffic. As messages are sent on the data (+) circuit, voltage is increased by approximately 1.0 volt.
Inversely, the data (-) circuit is reduced by approximately 1.0 volt when a message is sent.
Successful communication of a message can usually be identified by the slight spike at the end of a
message transmission. This spike is a "positive acknowledge" signal from multiple modules confirming
receipt of the message sent.

In the event the data (+) and data (-) circuits become shorted together, the signal stays at base voltage
(2.5V) continuously and all communication capabilities are lost.

In the event the data (+) circuit becomes shorted to ground, both the data (+) and data (-) circuits are pulled
low (0V) and all communication capabilities are lost.
cardiagn.com
In the event the data (-) circuit becomes shorted to ground, the data (-) circuit is pulled low (0V) and the data
(+) circuit reaches normal peak voltage (3.5V) during communication but falls to 0V instead of normal base
voltage (2.5V). Communication can continue but at a degraded level.

In the event the data (+) circuit becomes shorted to battery voltage, the data (+) circuit is pulled high (12V)
and the data (-) circuit falls to abnormally high voltage (above 5V) during communication and reaches
battery voltage (12V) for peak voltage. Communication can continue but at a degraded level.

Rhythmic oscillations, inductive spikes or random interference can corrupt the network communications. The
corruption signal source may be outside electrical interference such as motors or solenoids or internal
interference generated from a module on the network. In some cases, an open in either the data (+) or data
(-) circuit to a network module may cause the module to emit interference on the one circuit which is still
connected. The trace shown is an example of a "sawtooth" pattern transmitted from a module with one open
network circuit.
Other corruptions may be present when a module is intermittently powered up and down. The module on
power up can initiate communication out of sync with other modules on the network causing momentary
communication outages. These types of message corruptions are referred to as a Negative-Acknowledge
(NACK) message and lack an acknowledgement spike at the end of the transmitted message.
Modules on the CAN utilize simultaneous communication of 2 or more messages on the same network
circuits. The following chart summarizes the messages sent and received on the network.
NOTE: This chart describes the specific HS-CAN , MS-CAN and I-CAN messages broadcast by each
module, and the module(s) that receive the message.

DTC Charts
NOTE: Network DTCs (U-codes) are often a result of intermittent concerns such as damaged wiring or low

battery voltage occurrences. Additionally, vehicle repair procedures such as module reprogramming often
set network DTCs. Replacing a module to resolve a network DTC is unlikely to resolve the concern. To
prevent repeat network DTC concerns, inspect all network wiring, especially connectors. Test the vehicle
battery, refer to Section 414-01 .
NOTE: Some modules on this vehicle utilize a 5-character DTC followed by a 2-character failure-type code.
The failure-type code provides information about specific fault conditions such as opens, or shorts to ground.
Continuous memory DTCs have an additional 2-character DTC status code suffix to assist in determining
DTC history.

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct
probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and
verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed results in false resistance readings. Refer to

Normal Operation
The scan tool is connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC) to communicate with the High Speed
Controller Area Network (HS-CAN), Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) and Infotainment
Controller Area Network (I-CAN) communications networks.
A loss of ground or poor ground at the DLC may result in HS-CAN , MS-CAN or I-CAN faults while the scan
tool is connected.
