Description and Operation
OVERVIEW
A high speed controller area network (CAN) bus is used to transfer data between the engine control module (ECM),
instrument cluster and ABS modulator.
The diagnostic socket is also connected to the high speed CAN bus and allows the Land Rover approved diagnostic system
to interrogate both the ECM, instrument cluster and ABS modulator software.
The CAN bus is a high-speed broadcast network where control modules automatically transmit information every few
microseconds. Information is broadcast down a pair of twisted wires, known as 'CAN high' and 'CAN low'. Information is
transmitted on the CAN bus as a voltage difference between the 2 wires.
