Can Communication Signals Control: Notes
By interchanging information between control modules such as the TCM, ECM, ABSCM & H/U, etc., the modules are controlled in accordance with the vehicle's driving conditions.
In CAN (Controller Area Network) communication, each control module is connected with 2 lines and a large amount of information is interchanged through such a small number of wiring. Each control module sends and receives information and reads only the necessary information for its own purpose.
