CAN J1939 Fundamentals and Network Diagnosis with Digital Multimeter, CAN Software and Labscope

As transit buses have evolved, network communications have increased and become an integral part of the powertrain and the IO control system. Because more systems and nodes are added to the networks, communication traffic has increased which can be affected by any variances in the voltage levels, electrical noise, network layout, and connector issues. There has been an increase in the number of bus breakdowns associated with the network or system controllers, causing operational issues that can result in costly and lengthy breakdowns.

In Part 1 of this webinar series, you will learn the fundamentals of CAN J1939 communication networks on a transit bus including operation, network layout, components, and common faults. Part 2 and Part 3 will cover diagnostic procedures for CAN J1939 communication network using a digital multimeter, CAN Software and Labscope. 

At the completion of this webinar, you can expect to come away with:

• Knowledge of J1939 network configurations and components
• Knowledge of common J1939 failures
• Use of DMM to diagnose J1939 network failures
• Use of CAN software to monitor and diagnose J1939 network faults
• Use of labscope to diagnose network faults
