Summary of Content
Controller Area Network CAN 507 HO CAN B (ICC)10-28-02 1 These technical training materials are current as of the date noted on the materials, and may be revised or updated without notice. Always check for revised or updated information. To help avoid personal injury to you or others, and to avoid damage to the vehicle on which you are working, you must always refer to the latest Mercedes-Benz Technical Publication and follow all pertinent instructions when testing, diagnosing or making repair. Illustrations and descriptions in this training reference are based on preliminary information and may not correspond to the final US version vehicles. Refer to the official introduction manual and WIS when available. Copyright Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC, 2002 Reproduction by any means or by any information storage and retrieval system or translation in whole or part is not permitted without written authorization from Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC or it's successors. Published by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC Printed in U. S.A. 2 Objectives • Explain advantages of CAN networks • Explain how CAN networks operate • Describe location of CAN connectors • Explain CAN diagnosis techniques • Provide reference information on other models (reference section at back of handout) 3 What is a CAN System? A CAN system is: • A digital communication link between multiple Electronic Control Modules (ECM) • A 2 wire, bi-directional communication link with data transmitted according to priority • Message specific addressing 4 Advantages • Cost • Improved immunity to electrical interference • Fewer connectors • Fewer pins on control modules • Weight savings • Fewer sensors • Improved diagnosis facilities • Rapid transmission rates 5 Types of CAN Communication Mercedes-Benz uses several CAN networks. Depending on model and year the following may be used. CAN C - Engine CAN (also known as chassis CAN) Fast communication speeds 125 kbps or 500 kbps CAN B - Interior CAN (also known as body CAN) Communication speed 83 kbps Information from CAN C can be sent to control modules on the CAN B or vice versa via the Electronic Ignition Switch (EIS). The EIS is the only control module* that can transfer the messages and is known as the gateway. 6 Without CAN Coolant sensor 1 Control module 1 (e.g. fuel system) Coolant sensor 2 Coolant sensor 3 Control module 2 (e.g. climate control) Control module 3 (e.g. ignition) 7 CAN Bus Sensor 1 Control module 2 Control module 1 Control module 3 Control module 4 Control module 5 Control module 6 8 CAN B Example Controlling R.R. window from L.F. door window switch window switch RR DCM RF DCM window switch LR DCM window switch LF DCM CAN High & Low The CAN wiring consist of 2 wires called CAN High (CAN H) and CAN Low (CAN L). All the control modules are connected in a parallel circuit using either Z splices or plug connector blocks (X30/_). For the remainder of this presentation and shop modules, we will concentrate on the CAN B network as used in W203 / W220). 10 CAN H • CAN-H has a voltage of approx. 0.025 volts when dormant • Rises to base voltage of 0.65 volts when communicating • Data seen as voltage levels going “high” ~0.65volt ~0.025volt 11 CAN L • CAN-L has a voltage of 11.0 volts dormant • Base voltage drops to 4.65 volts when active • Data seen as voltage level going “low” ~11 volt ~4.65 volt 12 CAN B High & Low ~11volt ~4.65volt ~0.65volt ~0.025volt 13 Safety Concept CAN L still communicates (single line operation) CAN H shorted to ground, cannot communicate 14 Wake-up Signal Door switch Rear SAM EIS z...z…z…z…z... WAKE UP !! / Door open • EIS is the master of the CAN • EIS wakes up the control modules on the CAN N70 (Overhead Control Panel) 15 Tools For Diagnosing CAN B h Ohm meter h Volt meter h Oscilloscope h CAN B test harness h SDS 220 589 00 99 30 h WIS Note: The red lead is not always the CAN H 16 W203 CAN B (MY 2001) via N10/1 N73 N70 N22 A1 N72/1 Note: Always refer to the wiring diagram for your model and year.

This can happen if: a. Control unit shorted b. Wiring harness shorted How could we determine if the CAN B is shorted? a. Monitor CAN B voltage out of EIS b. Monitor CAN B oscilloscope pattern out of EIS c. Monitor the DAS (SDS) 22 Constantly Active CAN B CAN B needs to go into a dormant state when the ignition switch is in the 0 position. EIS is the control unit in charge of activation and deactivation of the CAN B. If a control unit in the CAN B keeps sending a signal the EIS will not request the CAN B to go into a dormant state. How can we determine if the CAN B has not gone into a dormant state? a. Monitor CAN B activity with an oscilloscope b. Monitor CAN B voltage 23 Diagnostic Exercise For CAN B The following diagnostic exercise involves a W203 with a shorted control unit. 24 W203 CAN B N73 N70 N22 A1 N72/1 N10/1 X30/4 X30/6 (dash) N69/4 N69/2 X30/7 (left) N32/2 N2/7 N10/2 A40/3 N32/1 N69/1 N69/3 A35/17 25 Diagnostic Exercise For CAN B 26 N73 N70 N22 A1 N72/1 N10/1 X30/4 X30/6 N69/4 N69/2 X30/7 N32/2 N2/7 N10/2 A40/3 N32/1 N69/1 N69/3 A35/17 27 N73 N70 N22 A1 N72/1 N10/1 X30/4 X30/6 Disconnect CAN wire N69/4 N69/2 X30/7 N32/2 N2/7 N10/2 A40/3 N32/1 N69/1 N69/3 A35/17 28 N73 N70 N22 A1 N72/1 N10/1 X30/4 X30/6 Disconnect CAN wire Re-connect CAN wire X30/7 N69/4 N69/2 N32/2 N2/7 N10/2 A40/3 N32/1 N69/1 N69/3 A35/17 Re-connect CAN wires until network instable again 29 N73 N70 N22 A1 N72/1 N10/1 X30/4 X30/6 N69/4 N69/2 X30/7 N32/2 N2/7 N10/2 A40/3 N32/1 N69/1 N69/3 A35/17 30 N73 N70 N22 A1 N72/1 N10/1 X30/4 X30/6 N69/4 N69/2 X30/7 N32/2 N2/7 N10/2 A40/3 N32/1 N69/1 N69/3 A35/17 31 Diagnostic Exercise For CAN B Press the F2 key for a list of control units that the EIS can communicate with 32 Diagnostic Exercise For CAN B 33 Reference Materials for Further Reading WIS documents : GF00.19-P-0001PP SN00.19-P-0004GH GF54.00-P-0004A GF54.00-P-0005A GF54.00-P-0005-01A GF54.00-P-0005-02A GF54.00-P-0005-04A GF54.00-P-0999ZZ Extended vehicle network function Complete networking (163 as of 9/01) Data bus system function CAN data bus, function CAN data bus data telegram CAN data bus specification CAN data bus applications CAN data bus, contents, function description 34 Additional Information for Other Models 35 CAN B Voltages W203, C215 & W220 h CAN H active: 0.65V, dormant: 0.025V h CAN L active: 4.65V, dormant: 11.0V CAN B Voltages W202, C208 & W210 h CAN H active: 1.8V, dormant 0.025V h CAN L active: 3.2V, dormant 4.8V 36 CAN B on W203 with connector X35/2 (Vehicles from approx. 06/02) N73 N70 N22 A1 N72/1 Note: Always refer to the wiring diagram for your model and year.
