Control Area Network (CAN)

CAN is a bi-directional bus used in the vehicle for

intermodule communications. A DLC connector in the

fuse panel allows a WDS to be connected to the CAN

for module diagnostics.
CAN-H and CAN-L is a balanced pair of twisted wire

on the CAN network. It is terminated at the PCM on

one end and the instrument cluster on the other. In

between the PCM and the instrument cluster are other

modules that tap off or daisy chains the CAN-H and

CAN-L wires on the wiring harness. CAN-H and

CAN-L signals are complementary for EMC. A level of
