Normal Operation
The MS-CAN network uses an unshielded twisted pair cable, circuits VDB06 (GY/OG) and VDB07 (VT/OG) provide the network connection to all modules on the network. The smart junction box (SJB), the instrument cluster, the electronic automatic temperature control (EATC) module (if equipped), the audio unit, the THX(R) amplifier (if equipped), the satellite radio receiver (if equipped), the digital versatile disc (DVD) (if equipped), the parking aid module (if equipped), the power liftgate module (if equipped), the driver seat module (if equipped), and the climate controlled seat module (if equipped) all communicate with the scan tool using the MS-CAN network.
