CAN High & CAN Low

CAN bus is a communication system, which is widely used in modern vehicles. A car may have 2 to 3 CAN bus

networks, both high-speed and low-speed. The general high-speed transmission rate is 500k, which is usually used

for power transmission. The low-speed rate is 250k, which is usually used for meter transmission. Each CAN bus

network can connect multiple types of multiple devices, replacing the traditional multi-wire harness cable,

significantly reducing weight and increasing reliability.

The CAN bus has 2 wires, CAN high and CAN low, and the signals are in a differential relationship. The CAN bus

is divided into idle and transmission states. When idle, CAN high and CAN low are both 2.5V. When transmitting

signals, the high level of CAN high is 3.5V, and the low level is 2.5V; the high level of CAN low is 2.5 V, the low

level is 1.5V. Use a BNC to banana cable, one end is connected to channel 1 of the oscilloscope, the other end of the

black plug is grounded, and the red connector is pierced into the CAN high wire of the plug with a needle; use a
