Using the dashCAN* Display
The dashCAN* display (see cover and below) is a small (105 mm x 63 mm x 63 mm, for
dashCAN and dashCAN2 or 105 mm x 63 mm x 165 mm, for ), display for CAN
networks containing ECM *CAN modules. dashCAN has two displays and no analog
outputs. dashCAN2 has two displays and two programmable analog outputs. has
two displays and six programmable analog outputs. dashCAN* comes with a two meter
cable and a “T” (P/N 09-05). Simply attach dashCAN* to the CAN bus and parameters from
two ECM *CAN modules can be displayed and converted to analog outputs (dashCAN2 or
only). The top display and half the analog outputs can be assigned to one module
and the bottom display and the other half of the analog outputs can be assigned to the same or
another module. Multiple dashCAN* displays can be attached to the CAN bus.
dashCAN* has two modes of operation: RUN (when measurements are displayed) and SYS
(where dashCAN* is set-up). The SYS key toggles between the modes.
While in RUN mode:
i.
If the

button is pressed, the displays will show the serial numbers of the modules
assigned to the displays (a module is assigned to the top display and analog outputs 1, 2, 3
(for ) or analog output 1 (for dashCAN2), and a module is assigned to the
bottom display and analog outputs 4, 5, 6 (for ) or analog output 2 (for
dashCAN2)).
ii.
If the

button is pressed, the displays will show the parameter names assigned to the
displays. See Table 2.
iii.
If the ENT button is pressed, the displays will show the units of the parameters.
“PCTG” is %. “dIM” means dimensionless (ex. for AFR, FAR, PHI, Lambda).
In RUN mode, four things other than data can be displayed:
i. “ERR” and “####” where “####” is an error code. See Table 3.
ii. “….” which means that a module has not been assigned to that display.
iii. “----“ which means that dashCAN* has an internal problem.
iv. “XXXX” which means that dashCAN* is not receiving any data from the module
assigned to that display.
