CAN BUS INTERFACE

Part no: 0230026

Outputs:

Frequency Approx. 10Hz per mph


Output voltage 12V square wave
Minimum speed 1.7 mph

Controller Area Network

Note: CAN Bus connections are usually a twisted pair of wires connected to
the ECU. Colours can vary.

Vehicles with CAN BUS:


Mercedes Benz, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Smart Car, Rover 75,
Audi, VW Passat, VW Sharan, Landrover Freelander, SAAB 95
SM CAN BUS SIGNAL TRANSLATOR

Function

The CAN signal translator is designed to provide a vehicle speed signal for vehicles using
a CAN bus system. It is programmed to automatically detect the vehicle type and it will
give a frequency output of approximately
10Hz per mph.

Fitting

The CAN bus uses two wires for data transmission. One is called CAN_HIGH and the
other called CAN_LOW (sometimes marked as CAN+ and CAN- respectively). The CAN
connections on the signal translator should be connected on to the appropriate CAN bus
connections with an insulated solder joint.

General Installation Notes – 0230026 CAN Bus interface

1. We recommend that the High and Low CAN Bus connections are picked up from
the automatic gearbox ECU, where possible, as this has the least amount of
data flowing in the system.

2. Because manufacturers continually change the pin configuration of the plugs, it


is advisable to pick up Pos and Neg for powering the interface from a solid
battery supply. There is less chance of ‘spikes’ on this supply than on the
ignition supply. A good earth is absolutely essential.

3. The CAN Bus interface is at times blamed for faults which are not of its making.
It only reads data, it does not write data to the vehicle system. In addition, it has
such a high internal impedance that it cannot affect the vehicle operation.
However, there is an unwritten law with garages that states the last thing fitted to
the vehicle must be the cause of any problem! The 0230026 is supplied with a
plug-in loom so the simplest answer to this type of response is to just unplug the
interface. It is then disconnected from the system. If the problem still exists
then, of course, it is not being caused by the interface unit.

4. It would be good practice to unplug the 5-wire loom from the 0230026 box and
then make connections, so removing any possibility of shorting. When
completed, reconnect the plug to the 0230026 box.

5. Connecting the 0230026 close to the ECU, say 2 to 4 inches away from
the plug will allow room for the connectors.

While the power wires can be extended, it is not advisable to extend the CAN
High and Low leads. If there is a need to extend the signal lead (Orange),
please ensure that it is run to its destination avoiding being close to equipment
that might give off pulses which could be picked up by this wire, such as ignition
or heater fans, etc. Common sense tells you that each wire can become an
aerial for extraneous signals within a vehicle environment.

plastic compartment, twisted wires can be
found there.
