  • With OUTLANDER, for the first time with MMC, a gateway function has been integrated to ETACS-ECU as the network central ECU. (Refer to ETACS .)
  • The CAN system consists of the following three networks: CAN-B (middle-speed body network), CAN-C (high-speed power train network), and the diagnosis CAN-C (diagnosis exclusive network). Each ECU is connected to one of the networks depending on its functions.
  • The CAN bus line consists of two lines, CAN_L and CAN_H (CAN Low and CAN High, respectively), as well as two terminal resistors (A twisted-pair cable, highly resistant to noise, is used for the communications line).
  • The CAN bus line connecting two dominant ECUs is the main bus line, and the CAN bus line connecting each ECU is the sub-bus line.
  • With CAN-C, the terminal resistors are incorporated in ECU. Resistors with approximately 120 ohms is used for the dominant ECU, and that with 4.7 kiloohms is used for the non-dominant ECU.
    NOTE:
    • Dominant ECU: ETACS-ECU and engine ECU
    • Non-dominant ECU: ECU and sensor on CAN-C network, excluding ETACS-ECU and engine ECU
  • To the CAN bus line, ECU, sensor, and data link connector are connected as follows for each network.

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.
