Established
Normal Operation
The Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) uses an unshielded twisted pair cable. In the event that 1 of the 2 network circuits (MS-CAN +
or MS-CAN -) becomes open to a module on the network, unreliable network communication to all modules on the network can result.
The following modules communicate with the scan tool using the MS-CAN:
-
Audio Control Module (ACM)
-
Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM)
-
Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module
-
Driver Seat Module (DSM)
-
Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM)
-
Front Display Interface Module (FDIM)
-
Global Positioning System Module (GPSM)
