Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Cadillac CT4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The devices connected to the CAN 1 serial data circuits (4986 & 4987) monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speeds up to 500 Kbit/s. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 Ω resistors. Each terminating resistor can be a separate resistor in a connector assembly or internal to a device. The resistors are used as the load for the CAN 1 bus during normal vehicle operation. The CAN 1 bus is a differential bus. The CAN 1 serial data [+] and CAN 1 serial data [-] circuits are driven to opposite extremes from a rest or idle level of approximately 2.5 V. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds 1 V to the CAN 1 serial data [+] circuit and subtracts 1 V from the CAN 1 serial data [-] circuit. If serial data is lost, devices will set a no communication code against the non-communicating device. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the device that set it.
