I'm working on my own CAN project and probably spent 6 months working to understand how the baud rate works. Out of curiosity what did make this video stand out?

But unfortunately, some videos are just repeating the information, which is easy for everyone to get, they are not trying(or maybe even avoid) to answer the tricky questions, that bothers everyone. But you explained everything that need to be clarified! Thank you very much, I will follow your other videos in the future. And another reason for the popularity of this video, in my opinion, maybe because CAN Bus is used widely and is a very popular topic.

Thanks. I'm actually an ex mechanic and funny enough I did not use any of this for any kind of diagnostic work. Nor did I even learn it until much later. The info in this video is all design related. Engineers would use this to design a network from scratch. For troubleshooting CAN bus networks in cars all you really need to know; is the wiring good, are the termination resistors good, are the voltages stable and not shorted, and unplug modules until it starts working. If you haven't already check out my video on CAN bus baud rate. That one will make your head hurt. I have thought of doing an eapbg auto edition. As a mechanic, I was the go-to diagnostic and driveability guy. I was thinking of some videos on how car subsystems work like EVAP, fuel injection, or operational strategies. I wouldn't do anything make model specific mostly because I've been out of the game for at least a decade now. Not sure how much demand there actually is for stuff like that.

Thanks, yes a Central Gateway they call them also. So a Central Gateway controls all the difference busses, like SAE J1850 signals, ISO9141 signals, ILS signals, CAN signals? Does every car have a central gateway circuit board?
@eapbg5 жыл бұрын
The Central Gateway does not control the bus. It is only a ling between the buses. The Central Gateway is also not just a circuit board. It tends to be built into something like a body control computer or gauge cluster. It is difficult to speak in absolute terms like "every car". No, not every car has one because back in carburetor days there were not buses. Then some networking was required and there was only one bus that linked a few things. Because there is only one bus then a Central Gateway is not required. Also it is possible for the Central Gateway not to connect to all the buses. Sometimes there are buses that are isolated from the rest of the vehicle.
@liquidsteel5 жыл бұрын
Question, when a node Crashes can it bring the entire network down for instance like a short or voltage spike?
@eapbg5 жыл бұрын
In theory, it's possible. If a node goes nuts and starts using addresses that conflict with others or monopolizes the bus with some high priority address it could bring the bus down. Also, it's possible for a node to hold the bus in its dominant state. Both of these are highly unlikely and would require horrific software to even be possible. Otherwise, if a node goes down it normally tristates its pins which places the transceiver into effectively a listen mode. This won't effect the bus.

@eapbg5 жыл бұрын
J1850 is a standard used by Ford and GM at the beginning of the OBD2 days but before CAN. 9141 is the same thing but for Chrysler. I probably have used them. Scan tools will connect automatically to whatever is needed after you punch the car in. I've never had to directly probe any of these buses.

EAPBG, a CAN transceiver chip converts the 0vdc to +5vdc to a CAN +3.2vdc, +2.5vdc, +1.5vdc signals by differential amplifiers or level shifting circuits? Differential amplifiers won't shift the levels of the voltages so how does the CAN transceiver chip do this please?

The explanation of how a can transceiver works is far too complicated for a KZbin comment. Try reading a transceiver datasheet.

Thanks, every car as a TIPM central gateway that all the modules connect to? The TIPM central gateway has all the CAN transsciever chips on the TIPM circuit board? Because the TIPM has Microcontroller ECU chips and CAN transcievers chips to do what, i'm not sure what the TIPM circuit board does really.
@eapbg5 жыл бұрын
The TIPM seems to only be only a Chrysler thing. Not sure if the TIPM is a gateway for Chrysler. A gateway is a central place where multiple buses connect. A car can have multiple buses. Any more it tends to be CAN buses, high speed, medium speed, and low speed. High speed is used for the engine computer, body computer, airbags, ABS, and so on. Basically all the really important stuff. To make sure the bus is not congested with the not important stuff, the stuff is moved to a slower bus. Things like door locks, windows, windshield wipers, climate control, rear defrost, radio, and so on. The gateway moves information between the buses. It filters the information and only moves what is needed. For example, the climate control needs to know the coolant temperature. The gateway moves that information from the high-speed bus to one or both of the lower speed ones. Something to note that seems to be a confusing spot. A transceiver is just a connection point to the bus. The bus is a differential type bus. Microcontrollers can't speak differential. The transceiver is basically an adapter between single-ended and differential. A transceiver does not exist on its own.

Thanks, Instead of disconnecting one module at a time is there other ways to troubleshoot? You can look at the CAN signals ID message number and Hexidecimal value and CRC value, can this point you in the direction of knowing if the Module is bad or good? You can measure the CAN signals with the module "connected" and look at the ID message number, hexidecimal value and save them. Then you can measure the CAN signals with the module "disconnected" and look at the ID message numbers and hexidecimal values and save them. After you have saved both connected and disconnected values you can "compare" them to each other?

I'm guessing the J1850 signals and 9141 signals were used to control the cars modules and sensors back in the day but they use CAN signals to control the cars modules and sensors and don't use J1850 and 9141 signals anymore?
