Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) CAN-B, CAN-C, other...

Does the Bosch VP-44 use CAN-B, CAN-C, or other type of CAN-BUS communication?



Thanks in advance,



Matt

all i can say is i hate anything that involves the "bus" code, had a tricky bus problem a while back, drove me insane.

The CAN-BUS standard is actually very reliable and VERY interesting to study if you're a geek like me.



The ability to have a 'broadcast network' that supports up to 1Mbps (in current form... ) on a shielded twisted pair of wires is really cool.



Also - the ability to intercept and 'snoop' on communications data in the 'BUS' without affecting operations is a huge plus for diagnosis and *hint, hint* modifying the data.



It is frightening how easy it is to snoop and modify CAN-BUS communications... . especially in vehicles. *evil grin*
