General Description

Several control units are applied to electronically controlled vehicles. These units perform each control with informations from various sensors. Thus, sharing signal information from sensors is needed, so CAN communication type whose communication speed is high and insensitive to electrical noise by spark generation is adopted to controlling power-train (ECM, TCM,ESP ECM, ABS ECM)
As sharing signals of engine speed, APS, gear shifting, torque reduction in ESP and various modules, active control is performed.

DTC Description

Checking CAN communication, under detecting condition, if an error within the detecting condition is detected for more than 1.5 sec., ECM sets U0001. MIL (Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on when the malfunction lasts till consecutive 2 driving cycles.

Signal Waveform & Data




Fig.1) Can communication waveform at idle

Monitoring CAN HIGH and LOW simultaneously is important in monitoring CAN communication waveform. When CAN HIGH signal rise to 3.5V and LOW signal drops to 1.5V-voltage difference between HIGH and LOW signal is 2V-at BUS IDLE state (DIGITAL "1") whose reference voltage is 2.5V, "0" is recognized. Besides, comparing HIGH and LOW signal if opposite waveform is detected with the reference voltage of 2.5V, Check if current cam signal transfers correctly.
Continuous "0" signal above 6 BIT means the occurence of error in CAN communication. 1 BIT is easily distinguished as calculating the time when "SOF" (START OF FRAME) which notifies the start of frame occurs. Check if "0"signal above 6BIT is detected continuously when monitoring CAN communication waveform.
