Clinic Length: Approx. 3 hours Since many newer vehicles can have 30 or more onboard computers, this clinic helps technicians understand, identify and diagnose CAN (Controller Area Network) vehicle communication networks. We review network fundamentals to help the technician understand the need, strategy and protocol of CAN. To aid in diagnostics, various types of network topologies are reviewed and explained. To help pinpoint CAN failures, several electrical circuit integrity test methods are outlined to validate root cause of CAN communication failures. Application of the diagnostic strategies are highlighted through vehicle Case Studies shown throughout this seminar.   After completing this clinic, the student will have the knowledge to: Identify Network type and topology Utilize the proper tools and test procedures when diagnosing network fault Diagnose ‘U’ code failures on CAN networks Test for ‘No Communication’ faults on CAN networks Read More
