Communications Network
Pinpoint Tests
Pinpoint Test V: Intermittent No Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) Communication, One Or More Modules Are Not Responding During Network Test
Normal Operation
The Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) uses an unshielded twisted pair cable. (HS-CAN +) and (HS-CAN -) provide the network connection to all modules on the network.
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 may result.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
PINPOINT TEST V: INTERMITTENT NO MS-CAN COMMUNICATION, ONE OR MORE MODULES ARE NOT RESPONDING DURING NETWORK TEST
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the Pinpoint Test. Inspection and Verification
NOTE: Various network DTCs set while disabling modules in this test procedure which need to be cleared after the diagnostic procedure is completed.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery.
