was starting. To ensure the SYNC sequence does not occur in the middle of the message, the transmitter 
must scan the message for the binary value $FF and replace it with the 2-byte DATA sequence $FF $01. 
The $01 byte is the stuff byte. Now if a ..$FF $00.. pair occurs inside the message then it will be translated 
into $FF $01 $00 by the byte stuffing. The receiver must convert the DLE DATA sequence back to a single 
byte $FF by removing the $01 byte. 

The following table defines all the valid DLE sequences implemented in the protocol. Any other DLE 
sequence received should be considered an error and will cause the message to be discarded.

After the DLE SYNC sequence to start the message, a CAN message header format is defined, followed by 
the CAN data values. Note any of the header or data bytes might contain the $FF value and must be scanned 
to perform the byte stuffing.
