Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
CAN-bus, checking: Function
The Diesel Direct Fuel Injection Engine Control Module -J248- communicates with all control modules capable of data bus via CAN data bus.
Data bus-compatible control units are connected together via two data bus wires twisted together (CAN high and CAN low) and exchange information (messages). Information not available in the data bus will be recognized as a fault by the engine control unit as well as other CAN data bus control units.
The data bus requires a matching resistor to function fault free. This central matching resistor is located in the Diesel Direct Fuel Injection Engine Control Module -J248-.
