I got voltage readings of 2.9 v for CAN high and 1.9 for CAN low. I am checking a dodge ram 2006. What would you suggest to do next? Thank you.

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

Hi there, I would still accept this measurement as a good voltage. As mentioned in the video, CAN-Hi voltage oscillates between 2.5 to 3.5 V (yours is 2.9 V) and CAN-Low oscillates between 2.5 to 1.5 V (yours is 1.9 V). This measurement is just a bit different from what I did in the video, but it is still in the range as based on the activities in CAN-BUS and multimeter accuracy, the voltage value might be a bit different for each measurement, the only things that matters is to get something within the range when you measure with a multimeter.

[@moramoy1]

@@AutomotiveDiagnosis These days I am trying to troubleshoot multiple faults in a single vehicle (Dodge Ram 1500, 2006): (From BCM) - B1648, B1661, U0101, U0100, U0121; (From WCM) - U0141; (From PCM) - U1120, U0141, U1411, U110C, U110E, P0058, P0032. The vehicle starts for about 4 seconds, but then shuts down. Do you have any suggestions on how to narrow the main culprit? Also, when checking for resistances and shorts for the CAN Bus, are ALL of them done with the ignition key in off, correct? Thank you for replying.

[@CesarCano-e7x]

Resistance and voltage are different on Body CAN. There is not any 120 ohm resistor as body electrical options can be different

Whate is the different between can b bus and can c bus in usa cars?

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

CAN-C is the high speed CAN ( up to 1 Mbps) for Engine, Transmission, ABS, 4WD etc CAN-B is low speed CAN (up to 125 kbps) for body electrical units like BCM, smart key and so on.

[@CesarCano-e7x]

How many ohms the multimeter would show if I disconnect , the two modules where the 2 terminating resistors are ?

[@autowow7128]

If we have continuity between each can with ground that’s mean don’t have short? And how to know have a short with positive?

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

Hi there, there shouldn’t be any continuity between each CAN and ground, if there is any it means that CAN is shorted to the ground. To check the short to power there are two ways, first is to turn the ignition off, wait for a minute to make sure CAN is at sleep mode so there won’t be any voltage, then you can measure the voltage between each can and body ( positive on CAN and ground on the body), so if you read any voltage (normally if shorted you will get battery voltage) it means that wire is shorted to positive. The other way is to check the CAN voltage when ignition switch is on, so as you see in the video, normal voltage for CAN high is about 2.6 v and for CAN low about 2.4. So if you get battery voltage instead of normal voltage it means that wire is shorted to battery positive.

After checking can bus from OBD connector the can voltages don’t problem have CAN H 2.9 - CAN L 1.9 and we don’t have any continuity between CAN and ground.

I have a question? can a CAN high/low wire be a regular #12 stranded wire ? That’s is what is used at my work In our pile plugs just a regular #12 stranded wire . Thank you

[@mrchew1982]

Shielded twisted pair is better for this because it won't pick up as much interference... But as long as your traffic volume isn't crazy high due to packet loss or your modules aren't losing communication I wouldn't worry about it too much.

[@eggyburgers7017]

[@AASKAROFFICIAL]

Sir can lowcan high wire me voltage kaha se aata hai

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

Hi there, there is a CAN controller inside each control unit which regulates the CAN voltage constantly.

[@AA-EFI-AUTOS]

How to check if can bus short to positive?

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

You can check the voltage between each pin (6 or 14 on OBD-II connector) and body ground when ignition switch is off. there shouldn't be any voltage. Also you can try it when ignition switch is on, this time CAN-Hi must be around 2.6 V and CAN-Low around 2.4 V, so if you are getting 12 V, it means that circuit is shorted to battery voltage.

No @AutomotiveDiagnosis. I have m-can and c-can in my car. However, m-can is concluded on Android all-in-one devices, and c-can data is also needed, so I ask if it would be good to attach it to the m-can cable.

Yeah, some wiring diagrams give two different numbers on OBD-II connector, one is for the ETM and the very small numbers you may see at the top or below the big numbers. Also at the left of the OBD-II you can see two small arrows to help with this.

At obd2 port Can high is pin 6 , and Can low is pin 14, why you misslead people with different numbers in this video ??

[@AutomotiveDiagnosis]

I wish you checked the video more carefully before judging, the diagram is taken from the original wiring diagram so we haven’t changed it at all. Secondly, if you look closer, you still see PIN numbers for 6 and 14 that you are referring to which are just written at the top and bottom of the CAN terminals. So wiring diagram clearly shows that pin 3 and 11 are on the ETM and pin 6 and 14 are for OBD connector (shown by arrows at 02:25).
