aaronmihe Upstanding Member Member 759 Member For: 21y 2m 26d Location: Canberra - ACT Posted 16/05/05 01:35 AM Share Posted 16/05/05 01:35 AM CAN is not really somethign to be "cracked" it's just the interface/bus type that the modules int eh car are using to communicate. What is available at teh Diagnostics port is whats susceptable to the legislation.Really all that's happening is that OBD-2/OBD-3 requirements are being upgraded to suit the new architectures. OBD came about to prevent the manufacters from holding a service monopoly on the maintenance of vehicle emission systems int eh USA. It also allows Gumbyment tests to be run by any workshop with a OBD compliant tool.The basic requirements are: - Access to information to do with emissions (ie rpm, 02 sensors, etc) - Ability to switch of Service due indication notices - Ability to read and rest the malfunction indicator light including the trouble codesThere's more but that's what it's about.Moving to CAn for this just makes it more compatible. Then there's features in the ECU/Body modules that makers can allow you to tweeak (Cop mode, Lights-on etc) without havign the full-on Ford WDS/PDS type system. And ofcourse extended features that ARE protected and performed over the same bus - or sometimes on a completely seperate interface line through seperate wiring on the same plug - are things like flashing new code, pulling logged event data, programming modules to talk with each other etc.Anyway it's all food for a hungry and adventurous mind.A.
