Principles of Operation
Both High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) and Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) use an unshielded twisted pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits. The HS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and designed for real-time information transfer and control. The MS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps for bus messages and is designed for general information transfer.
Controller Area Network (CAN) Fault Tolerance
NOTE: The oscilloscope traces below are from the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) oscilloscope taken using the IDS pre-configured CAN settings. The traces are for both data (+) and data (-) taken simultaneously (2-channel) at a sample rate of 1 mega-sample per second (1MS/s) or greater.
Traces below are viewed at 500mV per division (vertical axis) and 20 microseconds (20μs) per division (horizontal axis). Readings taken with a different oscilloscope vary from those shown. Compare any suspect readings to a known good vehicle.
The data (+) and data (-) circuits are each regulated to approximately 2.5 volts during neutral or rested network traffic. As messages are sent on the data (+) circuit, voltage is increased by approximately 1.0 volt. Inversely, the data (-) circuit is reduced by approximately 1.0 volt when a message is sent.
Successful communication of a message can usually be identified by the slight spike at the end of a message transmission. Any signals that are significantly different than the normal CAN waveform may cause network DTCs (U-codes) to set or may cause a complete network outage.
In the event the data (+) and data (-) circuits become shorted together, the signal stays at base voltage (2.5V) continuously and all communication capabilities are lost.
In the event the data (+) circuit becomes shorted to ground, both the data (+) and data (-) circuits are pulled low (0V) and all communication capabilities are lost.
In the event the data (-) circuit becomes shorted to ground, the data (-) circuit is pulled low (0V) and the data (+) circuit reaches near-normal peak voltage (3.0V) during communication but falls to 0V instead of normal base voltage (2.5V). Communication may continue but at a degraded level.
In the event the data (+) circuit becomes shorted to battery voltage, the data (+) circuit is pulled high (12V) and the data (-) circuit falls to abnormally high voltage (above 5V) during communication and reaches battery voltage (12V) for peak voltage. Communication may continue but at a degraded level.
In the event the data (-) circuit becomes shorted to battery voltage, both the data (+) and data (-) circuits are pulled high (12V) and all communication capabilities are lost.
Rhythmic oscillations, inductive spikes or random interference can disrupt the network communications. The corruption signal source may be outside electrical interference such as motors or solenoids or internal interference generated from a module on the network. In some cases, an open in either the data (+) or data (-) circuit to a network module may cause the module to emit interference on the one circuit which is still connected. The trace shown is an example of a "sawtooth" pattern transmitted from a module with one open network circuit.
Other corruptions may be present when a module is intermittently powered up and down. The module on power up may initiate communication out of sync with other modules on the network causing momentary communication outages.
Controller Area Network (CAN) Multiplex Messages
Modules on the CAN utilize simultaneous communication of two or more messages on the same network circuits. The following chart summarizes the messages sent and received on the network.

NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM .
If the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) does not communicate with the VCM :NOTE: The scan tool first attempts to communicate with the PCM, after establishing communication with the PCM, the scan tool then attempts to communicate with all other modules on the vehicle.
If an IDS session cannot be established with the vehicle, ( IDS may state "No communication can be established with the PCM"):DTC Charts
NOTE: Network DTCs (U-codes) are often a result of intermittent concerns such as faulty wiring or low battery voltage occurrences. Additionally, vehicle service procedures such as module reprogramming will often set network DTCs. Replacing a module to resolve a network DTC is unlikely to resolve the concern. To prevent repeat network DTC concerns, inspect all network wiring, especially connectors. Test the vehicle battery, refer to Section 414-01 .
Communication Network DTC Chart
NOTE: DTC U1900 will set in a module that is reporting a communication fault from another module on the data bus. The module that reports the fault is not the problem module.

Pinpoint Test R: No High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) Communication, All Modules Are Not Responding
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 14 , Module Communications Network for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 24 , 5.0L for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 25 , 5.8L for schematic and connector information.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 26 , 3.7L for schematic and connector information.
The High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) uses an unshielded twisted pair cable, circuits VDB04 ( HS-CAN +) and VDB05 ( HS-CAN -).
NOTE: The APIM , while on the HS-CAN , communicates with the scan tool only on the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN).

Pinpoint Test S: No Power To The Scan Tool
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 14 , Module Communications Network for schematic and connector information.
The scan tool is connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC) to communicate with the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) and Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN).
A loss of ground or poor ground at the DLC may result in HS-CAN or MS-CAN faults while the scan tool is connected. This may cause multiple malfunction indicators to be on with the scan tool connected to the DLC .
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed results in false resistance readings. Refer to Section 414-01 .
