Description

This workshop helps technicians understand, identify and diagnose CAN (Controller Area Network) 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 topology are explored 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 demonstrated in our state-of-the-art service bays using modern diagnostic equipment. This workshop includes hands-on bay activities supporting the aforementioned topics. After completing this workshop, 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’ failures on CAN networks
