CAN  stands for " ontroller rea etwork". This is an electrical bus system for carrying data over two wires.

The tasks are:

  • Data exchange between the individual control units
  • Readying sensor signals for several systems
  • Reducing the number of wires
  • Improving the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

The CAN data bus consists of a special twisted two-core data line that connects all CAN users (control units) in parallel.

The two wires of the data line must not be mixed up (low level / high level). The motor electronics (N3/10) control unit is always a consumer with regard to bus adaptation.

A 120 Ω terminating resistor is therefore installed in the Motor electronics control unit.

The data are transmitted digitally over the CAN data bus at various intervals. The individual data blocks are defined in a data protocol and it is specified which data are received or transmitted by a control unit.

Each connected control unit is able to transmit or receive data (bidirectional data bus).

The sum of the data blocks, the short break between two transmission intervals and additional properties of the CAN data bus are checked constantly. Detected faults are stored and placed in the fault memory.

In the vehicle a distinction is made between the fast (500 kbit/s) engine compartment data bus and diagnostic CAN-data bus and the slower (83.3 kbit/s) interior CAN data buses.

IMPORTANT

The new control unit must be coded when a control unit is replaced.

This control unit coding takes place via a STAR DIAGNOSIS menu.

IMPORTANT

The international standardized network management "OSEK" ( pen systems and their nterfaces for lectronics in motor vehicles) is used for all control units of the CAN data bus.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
