The controller area network (CAN) provides a standardized means for electronic controllers
and other devices to communicate with each other.
The CAN consists of two wires: CAN high and CAN low. These two wires carry signals
opposite to each other to overcome noise interference and minimize communication
errors. The high and low wires, along with a ground wire, are woven together to form what
is called a twisted triple. The twisted triple provides an additional method of reducing
interference and thus helps the devices communicate with minimal errors.
The 120-ohm termination resistors, usually located at opposite ends of the CAN bus, also
help prevent signal errors.
The CAN is an arbitration-based system, meaning a low-priority message always allows a
high-priority message to go first. Each CAN device checks to see if the bus is idle before it
transmits a signal. Whichever device gets on the bus first is able to transmit its signal.
Collisions occur when two or more devices transmit at the same time. If a collision occurs,
an arbitration system determines which transmission receives priority. The device with the
lowest ID has higher priority to access the bus. The device that loses arbitration
immediately retransmits its signal when the device with the higher priority has completed
its transmission.
This machine can contain up to two CAN circuits: machine CAN and integrated grade control
(IGC) CAN.
Machine CAN (CAN 1)
The machine CAN (CAN 1) provides the communication link for the following devices:
Transmission control unit (TCU) (A1)
Engine control unit (ECU) (A2)
Standard display monitor (SDM) (A3)
Blade control joystick (BCJ) (A9) (if equipped with IGC)
Electrohydraulic controller (EHC) (A11) (if equipped with IGC)
Modular telematics gateway (MTG) control unit (A6000) (if equipped with JDLink™ )
Operations and functions of the individual devices on machine CAN are covered separately.

Machine CAN also includes the following components:
CAN 1 termination resistor 1 (R1)
CAN 1 termination resistor 2 (R2)
Service ADVISOR™ connector (X8)
Machines not equipped with integrated grade control (IGC) have the CAN 1 termination
resistor 2 (R2) plugged into the machine CAN 3-pin connector (X86) on the operator’s
station harness (W7). On machines equipped with IGC, the CAN 1 termination resistor 2 is
disconnected and removed from the operator’s station harness. The empty machine CAN 3-
pin connector on the operator’s station harness is connected to a mating connector on the
integrated grade control (IGC) cab harness (W22). The CAN 1 termination resistor 2 is then
relocated to the IGC machine harness (W21). For more information:

9015-05.

The Service ADVISOR™ connector provides an interface for connecting diagnostic
equipment, such as a laptop. For more information, see Service ADVISOR™ Connection
Procedure . (Group 9015-15.)
Integrated Grade Control (IGC) CAN
If the machine is equipped with integrated grade control (IGC) components, the IGC CAN
provides the communication link for the following devices.
Electrohydraulic controller (EHC) (A11)
Grade control supplier’s equipment
Operations and functions of the EHC on the IGC CAN are covered separately. For more
information, see Integrated Grade Control (IGC) Circuit Theory of Operation—If Equipped .

The IGC CAN also includes the following components:

IGC CAN termination resistor 1 (R7)
Integrated grade control (IGC) interface 23-pin connector (X96)
The IGC interface 23-pin connector (X96) provides an interface for connecting the grade
control supplier’s equipment.
