The use of digital communication between ECUs allows a reduction in size and complexity of

vehicle wiring harnesses. The CAN Bus is a high speed, digital broadcast network comprising two

wires, identified as CAN Low (L) and CAN High (H), twisted together to minimise the

electromagnetic interference (noise) produced by the CAN signals. Signals consist of a signal which

is simultaneously transmitted, in opposite phase, on both wires. CAN L switches between 2.5 and

1.5 volts while CAN H switches between 2.5 and 3.5 volts, which causes the potential difference

between the two lines to switch between 0 volt (logic 1) and 2 volts (logic 0) to produce the digital

signal message. The CAN Bus links together the ECUs and components in the network. Each ECU

or component in the network decodes the signals on the CAN Bus into the information it needs to

perform it's task, a process is known as multiplexing. The advantage of multiplexing is that

information that is available from one sensor can be used by many ECUs. For instance, the vehicle

speed signal produced by the ABS ECU. This information can then be used by any system which

needs to know the vehicle speed, for example, the ECM or the instrument pack. The CAN Bus is

capable of managing real time information required by the ECM and other powertrain control

systems.

The diagram indicates directly modules connected to the HS CAN bus in parallel. If one of modules is
disconnected from the bus system, the others can communicate with each other. The ECM, TCM,DSC
modules can continuously communicate with each other when the BCM is disconnected.
As shown ,the resistance value is 60Ω as measuring between the terminal 6 and 14 of DLC.

SAS YRS DSC

The two cut-off resistors are integrated into DSC Module and SAS respectively in the local CAN bus
of DSC system, The SAS and YRS send information that the DSC module needs to improve safety.
LIN bus

The LIN Bus is a broadcast serial network used for transmission of data between non-powertrain or
safety critical ECUs. All LIN Bus signals are initiated by the BCM using scheduling tables to start
sending and receiving signals on the LIN Bus. The signal comprises two parts, the header and the
response. The header signal is sent by the BCM and the responses is sent by the ECUs on the LIN Bus.
Data on the LIN Bus is transmitted as eight bit data bytes with one start and stop bit with data divided
high and low.

 The diagnostic K-line

The ISO 9141-2 K-line network connects the diagnostic socket to the ECM. The protocol used on the network
means that non-approved diagnostic equipment can also be used to access ECM emissions faults.
