1. Engine - no comms with transmission
2. Transmission - no comms with engine
3. ABS - no comms with engine
4. Diff - No fault codes with communication with any ecu
5 - CEM - no comms with engine.
We have checked lives and grounds at the engine ecu and they are fine. We also disconnected Engine ecu plug and we get a similar pattern.
Any guidance on if the waveform can cause drivability issues and what could be causing the signal to go up.
Hi.
You need to determine which of the electronic components introduces distortion into the signal form.
To do this, you need to turn off the CAN POWERTRAIN ECU - one by one.
This can be done on the CEM module connectors C and D, or on the CAN 53/352 and 53/353 cross.
After disconnecting connector 54/57.1 which goes to the transmission loom, the CAN signals were nice and clean.
We checked power and ground to the transmission and they were fine.
Plug 54/57.1 has 8 pins
1. Supply - good
2. empty
3. Gear selector module
4. CEM
5. Engine ECU
6. CAN H
7. CAN L
8. Earth
Would it be safe to say that the transmission module is causing the communication problems or could I be getting interference from 3. Gear selector module.
Such a change in the signal on the CAN bus can trigger a pulse energy consumer of sufficient power.
There is no such consumer in the ECU Gear selector module.
In the ECU TCM - there are (electric valves).
First of all, you should check again the reliability of the contact pin8 TCM, measure the voltage ,try to duplicate the wire .
Try to connect a sufficiently large electrical load to the wire as an emulator when the TCM connector is disconnected.
You can connect current pliers to the TCM power wire and compare the frequency of interference and the frequency of increasing current consumption by a specific ECU.
I have enjoyed reading your replies and have learnt a lot. The car has gone back to the customer and I will ask him to come back so I can compare current readings to the interference. This be very interesting to see just for my own knowledge.
