GTI V6-2.8L (BDF) (2002)
Information Bus: Testing and Inspection
Terminal Resistance For CAN-Bus, Checking
Terminal Resistance For CAN-Bus, Checking
Function
The Engine Control Module (ECM) communicates with all databus-capable control modules via a CAN databus.
These databus-capable control modules are connected via two data bus wires which are twisted together (CAN_High and CAN_Low), and exchange
information (messages). Missing information on the databus is recognized as a malfunction and stored.
Trouble-free operation of the CAN-Bus requires that it have a terminal resistance. This central terminal resistor is located in the Engine Control Module
(ECM).

Test requirements
-
DTC "P0600 Serial Communication Link" was detected by the Engine Control Module (ECM), Diagnostic mode 3: Check DTC memory.
See: Testing and Inspection/Scan Tool Testing and Procedures/With Generic Scan Tool/Diagnostic Mode 3: Check DTC Memory
-
Ignition switched off.
Test sequence
-
Connect test box to Engine Control Module (ECM), connect test box for wiring test. During this, wiring harness to Engine Control Module (ECM)
is not connected.

Wiring Test
-
Check the central termination resistor in the Engine Control Module (ECM):
-
To do this, measure resistance between test box socket 58 + 60:
Specified value: 60...72 Ohm
If resistance value is not in expected range:
-
Replace Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-.
If resistance value is in expected range:
-
Disconnect test box from Engine Control Module (ECM).
-
Connect test box to control module wiring harness.
-
Check CAN data bus wires for short circuit to each other:
-
To do this, perform a resistance measurement between test box sockets 58 + 60:
Specified value: infinite Ohm
If specified value is obtained (wires have no shorts):
-
Eliminate error in wires (see wiring diagram).
