CAN bus settings

Background

With new emission legislations the requirements on customer panels increases and a document describing what needs to be implemented in the OEM CAN panels is needed.

Requirements on OEM panels

There is one message that has to be sent to the VP EECU and that is the VP status message. See section VP STATUS MESSAGE: OC FF 46 11. Without this message the EECU will set a fault code on the CAN bus and disregard more communication.

Engine interface connector (EIC)

The EIC contains 8 pins with the following functions:

1 CAN High

2 CAN Low

3 Battery minus

4 Battery plus

5 Ignition and energized to run extra stop

6 Energized to extra stop

7 J1587A

8 J1587B

This is where any CAN panel shall connect to battery plus and battery minus in order to be powered. Battery after key and extra stop shall get the positive voltage from pin 4 (battery plus) when powered.

Battery after key - signal

The battery after key - signal is a “wake up” signal to the EMS. When this pin get powered the main relay will be activated which will power the EMS and the EMS will start to communicate.

This pin should have power for as long as the EMS is supposed to communicate. The EMS will hold this relay even without getting power via this signal once the software is up and running. However, in order to avoid problems in the aftermarket, it shall always be power on this pin when the EMS is supposed to communicate.

NOTICE! The battery after key signal can be configured via VP aftermarket tool. So that the engine will stop if power is removed from the pin. (Pin 5 in the 8- pole Engine Interface Connector; EIC). It shall also always be possible to power this pin without having to start the engine in order to be able to work on the engine with after market tools.

Extra stop - signal

The stop input signal, stops the engine when voltage is applied to this pin. (Pin 6 in the 8-pole Engine Interface Connector; EIC)

Never have a stop signal being continuously sent to a powered control unit. If there is a continuous active stop signal over time, it could damage the engine control unit. Figure 1 shows that the stop signal should be sent as a pulse signal.

The voltage to the stop signal should come from pin 4 in the engine interface connector.
