I’m mechanic for Caterpillar. The enhanced understanding I gained from your series allowed me to repair a Grade & Slope system on an asphalt paver that nobody could figure out. Thank you so much for this!
I am not a technician, I just play one on weekends and your 3 part series was excellent that I just had to leave a comment to express gratitude for all your work in putting it together. Thank you.
Thankyou for helping me understand can bus diag better. You have helped me alot. I am greatful for people like yourself for sharing your knowlage with people who want to learn. Keep up the good work.
Awesome series. It can be so helpful to an occasional weekend warrior like myself to simply understand how some of the systems like CAN even work. It's nice to know I should have at least a general idea what I'm even working with when trying to find a problem. Thank you for this awesome series, and especially for part 3 for tying it all together with a real world example. This was a few hours of my time very well spent!!!
Im a DIYer and these 3 classes were helpful in an astronkmical way. Quick note, when you were checking the JC near the pillar for short to power and short to ground. Me being a beginner, I wish you would have told us what we would see if it WAS shorted to power/ground/eachother. I subscribed!
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the channel! If saw anything under 1000 ohms I would be concerned, if I had good continuity or low resistance like under 100 I would know there’s some type of short. ~Ryan
NISSAN AND KIA ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, COULD POSSIBLY HAVE YOU WEEPING .OUTSTANDING CLASS THOUGH AND YES WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU TRY TAKING THEM ON BECAUSE THEY HAVE PROVEN TO BE SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT NETWORK CRASHES OUT THERE. PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK THANK YOU!
Props on a great series Ryan! All 3 parts so far were easy to watch and more importantly, easy to understand. Your teachings have allowed me to sharpen and hone my skills when it comes to CAN diagnostics and repair. Thanks for your time, I'm sure it's not easy putting these tutorial videos together. 👍🏻👌🏼
Really good series. I have learned to appreciate the more complex network designs ever since I had a short in an air conditioning system cause a no-start by pulling down everything on the network. It then became apparent “ohhhhhhhh- NOW it is clear why a gateway is useful!!!”
@SchrodingersBox was the AC short causing the no start on a Ford f150 by any chance? The reason I ask is because I have seen this multiple times on those vehicles, usually late 90's up until mid 2000's. I just recently subbed to your channel as well. You guys all have some great content. Keep it up! 👍🏻
Thanks Ryan! I started to get lost when you were explaining the wiring diagram and comparing it with the car. But after I went back and studied it more I was saved, lol. Thats just a matter of experience and I have about zero with Can networking. Your videos helped me understand how the systems work and I have a little bit of confidense now. Thanks again.
Excellent!!!!! Your diligence and passion for teaching is greatly appreciated by all of us who are in the automotive field , l am sure. Stay healthy and Happy, always.
Great video. I'm working on a PT Cruiser right now with other electrical errors. Not a CAN problem, but I used its communication schematic to follow along with you. With your help, I was able to see how it worked and how to troubleshoot it if I need to. This has to be one of the BEST educational series on UA-cam.
I watched your series just to understand can bus better in general for a custom project. Now I want to be a mechanic when I grow up! :D Thank you for the excellent walkthrough.
Great Educational series on CAN networks! Thanks for your time and work you put into helping teach people a better way to look into diagnostics of these systems.
Thanks for posting this entire series. I'm a DIYer, facing odd issues on family member's cars with communication loss popping up commonly, and while I was aware of Can bus concepts as an electronic hobbyist, I never really put much thought into the network segregation to improve reliability. I'm also a bit of a hobby roboticist, and now, I'm more comfortable with both troubleshooting automotive problems, AND I can re-work some of my past designs for robotic networks to eliminate the "house of cards" reliability issues you mentioned!
Great job Ryan! As a part time trade instructor, running a business and a UA-cam channel, it can be hard to explain to students the diagnostic process. Thanks for an excellent 3 part series, which logically broke down the process into manageable sections. It has given me some great ideas to include in my classes. Cheers MiracleMAX
Thanks! 35 year tech. I watched all three parts and it is the best explanation of network theory and diagnosis I've seen. Got a lot of info through my thick skull and cleared up some fog in my old brain Thank you!
you sir are the goat. Im, currently doing a harness merge on my 00 subaru and learn as i go. For the past weeks i've learn to myselft how to read the subaru diagrams and what they ment and how they work. And when you showed a subaru wiring diagram on the video, I quickly went "is that a Subaru diagram?". And it was so funny to me that, it is and i quickly recognized it 😂. Canbus does not really apply to what im working on right now. but for future reference (my 08 rx8 that has a canbus system) , really gave me a full understanding on how newer cars work and gave me ideas on how to diagnose these "new systems". great video series. I definitely learned a lot. 👍👍
Might have been a good idea to check terminal resistor in PCM itself at pins A58 and A45 just to be 100% it isn’t a pin connection issue but evidence was overwhelming anyway.
Yeah what about piggybacking a resistor right there and hook the ECM up and see if it actually still works and it was just the resistor. You could have saved somebody a lot of money or at least a do it yourselfer that didn't need to change out the whole ECM.
Excellent 3 part lessons. You also did most of the testing without reverting to expensive tools that most vids feature. This is so important for us non-professionals needing to trouble shoot.
DANG! This process has been fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your expertise on this topic. Outstanding job on the whole series. If you want to continue on other vehicles/systems, I'll be tuning in just as intently as this one... Thanks again!
Because as mentioned through out the series as cars get more and more modules they get connected to a "gateway module" and the DLC is just wired to it but not part of the network, so on newer cars you can't measure specific network activity through pins 6 and 14
They brought this Subaru to you because you are an ACE automotive electrical technician 👍🙂 MANY THANKS for sharing your knowledge . No doubt - If one wishes to repair todays modern vehicles - they must learn and understand what the information you are freely demonstrating / teaching in this video ✌️✌️✌️
Awesome series, Ryan! Didn't miss a single second. When I first started watching, I had no idea about CAN bus. However, you managed to open our eyes and help us learn everything from the grassroots level. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, experience, and time with people across the world. 👌 - A guy from the other side of the world
Hello Ryan, I really enjoyed the classes, they were both excellent in theory and in practice, you are an exellen insructor , I learned many tips that I will put into practice. Thank you
Ni darasa zuri,nimependa ufundishaji wako tangu sehemu ya kwanza ya darasa hili hadi sehemu hii ya tatu,wewe ni mwalimu mzuri na kiukweli nimeelewa vizuri.... Ahsante sana kwa darasa hili na MUNGU akubariki
Thank you so much for the step by step instructions and for showing what not to do as well. I have seen many videos that go through this but yours lays the foundation for why in a way that doesn't "Over-Tech" some of us weekend techs whose eyes glaze over during the phd lever stuff. As a industrial maintenance tech I work with Profibus but since I am not an electrical tech I appreciate these videos that help demystify the black art of communication. I would love to see more cars like these taken through and fixed and look forward to seeing more of your video.
Thank you for teaching me how to understand all of this, I'm from Mozambique and because of you I will change the way people diagnose most of the cars here, btw I'm focused in bmw and merc cars..
Thank you Ryan for all the work and effort you put into this series. I know I need to review the first two again to put it all together, but this helped to understand the "How to"s " when diagnosing communication problems.
🙏🙏just fantastic I’m 69 & been found CAN a long time This is the explanation I’ve always wanted. I’d ask product instructors & be told by them honest enough to be honest ! (sorry I honestly don’t know the manufactures don’t tell us) I’ve even witnessed product instructors say ! You can only throw parts at it until it works 🙇♂️ I’ve been told by customers ! They fitted 3x Parts until it was fixed but charged for all 3x parts due to cost of removing them & Now the warranty bag is broken, we can’t re sell it 🤷♂️ Many thanks 🙏🙏
I have learned from your video. Now I have a better idea what to do to find out why my memory seat on my 2012 Honda Accord is not saving the memory and running the battery down in a couple days parked. Keep up the good work.
As an Auto Diagnostic Technician am very much delighted with your wonderful lecture on this this topic which is center of vehicle electrical diagnosis. Congratulation parting deeper CAM Bus knowledge.
Really, really good video enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much for your clear , timely interesting and informative presentation........great job!!!!!!
Best video series I've seen so far!! I've applied what I have learned from your videos, but I am still a little unsure of my diagnosis. I have a 2013 S550 4matic with the do not shift error. Scanned the system and got no can message for about five different modules but no faults in the gateway module. I think the problem is the gateway module. The voltage and resistance are good on every can connection. I don't have a scope yet. It's in the mail.
Excellent presentation of your wisdom and passion for empowering and encouraging many enthusiasts out there. Your understanding and knowledge of what you do is fantastic, and I definitely learned a lot from you videos. Thank you very much.
Thanks for an excellent video series explaining the simple yet complex CANbus network system that run our cars. Great seeing someone step by step breakdown the wiring and network topology of connector found all over these vehicles, and going after a connector and skipping it because it's too deep in the console. Don't shorten the video just because it's not going to workout. Only take apart what you need too when you need too!
You makeyself feel confortable because Im into a troubleshooting right now in my job with a Chinese TRUCK with no to mucho informático support related to a no communication issue with the ECM and I determine there's is a wire loom problem and watching tour video tells me Im no too los in what Im doing😅 Excelente video and explanation, thanks to invest tour time in do the video to share 🙏🏽you are very good man!
Great video, very informative. A couple of notes however, at 40:54 and 42:05 you were referring an open circuit as “zero” resistance when it’s actually infinite resistance (open line). I see this all the time when I’m teaching my electrical courses. Thanks for the video! I learned many things about these networks! 👍🏻
That was GREAT. Thank you. I am trying to solve an intermittent communication issue on a single CAN bus and this series is a great help for my understanding. Thanks again !
fantastic class...im glad i stumbled across this, completely by accident too, but i watched all 3 videos. some of these CAN bus classes can go way beyond the scope of what a technician needs to know to successfully diagnose a CAN issue, but every bit of info in this series is relevant. well done
Sir, I want to thank you for your dedication and passion to perform these types of educational videos you are providing us with. I am an educator as well, and your material is going to help many young adults, who are in the process of recovery from past bad choices, and today they are looking for an importunity in my nonprofit, so they can better their future. Thank you Sir again, and have a blessed day.
Excellent three parts series Ryan! A lot to learn. Some mistakes I did in the past I think won't happened again after this series! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Ryan!
Hello Ryan, I really enjoyed the classes, they were both excellent in theory and in practice, you are an exellen insructor , I learned many tips that I will put into practice. Thank you
Thanks, I learned so much from your video. I love how in depth you went. I will now try and solve my can buss issue in my 2006 raider. I will let you know how it turns out. I will also revert to your videos if I run into problems. Thanks for all the time you took to make these videos. Outstanding!!!
Excellent series on this subject, I will be encouraging all of our techs to watch! One comment on your technique for checking CAN line short to power using continuity to pin 16 of DLC with the battery disconnected. In checking this way it will show a short to any 30 feeds but this test excludes any possible short to power to the fed side of any switched power circuits.
Great series, I started working on cars when Ford had the eek series. I don't do it anymore but do mess around when i can pick up a cheap car to mess with. I still got it so far.
Awesome, methodical explanation. I am a computer and electronics tech, and this is what proper troubleshooting is in modern day electronic s. Very easy to listen to and follow. Keep up good work..
Great teacher you are! Keep up the teaching please. Been watching your channel for a while and your info is always accurate and easy to follow. Thanks again
Im a field engineer recently forced out of avionics career reinventing my self as a Marine intrumentation fiekd engineer. These systems are now CAN BUSS. Great video...and great view inti all screen displays. So is the ECM openable for resistir repair or is it sent back as a core return for factory repair? Last guestion is a source for the test lead adapter kit. Wonderful tutorial!
The ECM could be repaired by the right person. There sealed up really good. Under most circumstances it will be a new computer with a possible core. Thanks for reaching out and watching the video! ~Ryan
Ryan...gre8 job explaining this everyday more confusing subjet....have seen your third episode so many times.I I can almost quote word for word. People already come to mi for solutions to their electrical problems and these series have help me understand Way more than I knew before...thanks again .....subscribed.
Thank You, i have found this informative. its slow at work today so i thought i would reinforce my diagnostic skills. your method of adding a resistor seems to be a very useful process that i will certainly take advantage of in future diag. i have had a few communication failure jobs in the past couple weeks, 1 - 2007 pci bus and 1 - 2017 can bus issue and i found myself learning more than diagnosing. This series will definitely save me some time later. subscribed
Hey Ryan, thanks for all your hard work putting this mini series together. You break it down so well and made all the information easily digestible. Your approach will be the one I use next time I have to diagnose a vehicle CAN issue at work. Cheers!
Ryan, your videos are outstanding! Your teaching approach is excellent, you provide great information in a very humble way. Looking forward to see more troubleshooting videos. Thanks Dan
Great series of lessons. I had no idea what CAN communications was or how far back it went. Now, I can work on my '07 F150, an old '05 Rubicon, a '00 blazer and my almost new Toyota Rav 4. One question, what scan tool can I afford to get that will allow me to see interactive diagrams for various vehicles? I can't afford a $10,000+ scanner but even $2,000 or so could pay for itself in a few months/years. Of course, $300 would be better, if capable. Thanks for your efforts and your unique ability to take big undefeatable problems and break them into smaller ones that can be defeated. As an electronics analysist in the Air Force, decades ago, I recognize the same conceptual processes we used then. Great presentations!!
I’m mechanic for Caterpillar. The enhanced understanding I gained from your series allowed me to repair a Grade & Slope system on an asphalt paver that nobody could figure out. Thank you so much for this!

Knowledge + Experience × Passion ÷ Humour = Awesome Tutorial ! Thank you so much Ryan
My pleasure! It was a lot of fun to make
Someday we will have to post a bloopers reel. 😂
~Ryan
Bloopers lol, that would be a bonus, but please tell me there will also be a Part 4, another vehicle, different network as you hinted, "maybe" ?
If the right car comes along I’ll definitely make a part 4 !
Great Part 3 - Overall great Class in total - Hope we get another one some day sooner or later.
Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it and followed the series!
~Ryan
Just watched this series and i must say it was one of the best ones so far, explaining the different systems 👍
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!

@@GoTechTraining Where did you guys go? 🙂
Im a DIYer and these 3 classes were helpful in an astronkmical way.
Quick note, when you were checking the JC near the pillar for short to power and short to ground. Me being a beginner, I wish you would have told us what we would see if it WAS shorted to power/ground/eachother.
I subscribed!
Thanks for watching!
Welcome to the channel!
If saw anything under 1000 ohms I would be concerned, if I had good continuity or low resistance like under 100 I would know there’s some type of short.

@SchrodingersBox was the AC short causing the no start on a Ford f150 by any chance?

I’m curious why you don’t use an Obd2 breakout box? Very inexpensive but super convenient and have led indicators for data/power
Because as mentioned through out the series as cars get more and more modules they get connected to a "gateway module" and the DLC is just wired to it but not part of the network, so on newer cars you can't measure specific network activity through pins 6 and 14

Great video, very informative. A couple of notes however, at 40:54 and 42:05 you were referring an open circuit as “zero” resistance when it’s actually infinite resistance (open line). I see this all the time when I’m teaching my electrical courses. Thanks for the video! I learned many things about these networks! 👍🏻
You are correct, thank for reaching out and checking out the video !

That was GREAT. Thank you. I am trying to solve an intermittent communication issue on a single CAN bus and this series is a great help for my understanding. Thanks again !
great job, there is no word to say about importance of this series
fantastic class...im glad i stumbled across this, completely by accident too, but i watched all 3 videos. some of these CAN bus classes can go way beyond the scope of what a technician needs to know to successfully diagnose a CAN issue, but every bit of info in this series is relevant. well done
Sir, I want to thank you for your dedication and passion to perform these types of educational videos you are providing us with. I am an educator as well, and your material is going to help many young adults, who are in the process of recovery from past bad choices, and today they are looking for an importunity in my nonprofit, so they can better their future. Thank you Sir again, and have a blessed day.
Excellent three parts series Ryan! A lot to learn. Some mistakes I did in the past I think won't happened again after this series! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Ryan!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m still learning myself, everyday I discover something new.
Thanks for reaching out and supporting the channel!

Hello Ryan, I really enjoyed the classes, they were both excellent in theory and in practice, you are an exellen insructor , I learned many tips that I will put into practice. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thank i fully understand your class. This is one of the best can bus video that I have ever watch great video
The best tutorial ever. Thank you! Great explanation .
Thanks, I learned so much from your video. I love how in depth you went. I will now try and solve my can buss issue in my 2006 raider. I will let you know how it turns out. I will also revert to your videos if I run into problems.
Thanks for all the time you took to make these videos. Outstanding!!!
Excellent series on this subject, I will be encouraging all of our techs to watch! One comment on your technique for checking CAN line short to power using continuity to pin 16 of DLC with the battery disconnected. In checking this way it will show a short to any 30 feeds but this test excludes any possible short to power to the fed side of any switched power circuits.
Thank you for the lessons on Can Bus. I actually learned a few things form your 3 part tutorials. 🤓
Great series, I started working on cars when Ford had the eek series. I don't do it anymore but do mess around when i can pick up a cheap car to mess with. I still got it so far.
Awesome, methodical explanation. I am a computer and electronics tech, and this is what proper troubleshooting is in modern day electronic s. Very easy to listen to and follow. Keep up good work..
I'm learning a ton! I'm a hobbyist thinning out a body harness for my LS swapped F100
Sounds like fun! Thanks for watching !
~Ryan
Great teacher you are! Keep up the teaching please. Been watching your channel for a while and your info is always accurate and easy to follow. Thanks again
i watched all three parts from start to finish. thank you.
Im a field engineer recently forced out of avionics career reinventing my self as a Marine intrumentation fiekd engineer. These systems are now CAN BUSS. Great video...and great view inti all screen displays. So is the ECM openable for resistir repair or is it sent back as a core return for factory repair? Last guestion is a source for the test lead adapter kit. Wonderful tutorial!
The ECM could be repaired by the right person. There sealed up really good. Under most circumstances it will be a new computer with a possible core.
Thanks for reaching out and watching the video!
~Ryan
Great job thanks for sharing your experience
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Excellent series 👏
Would love to see more beginning to end diags.
Noted!
Thanks for reaching out !
~Ryan
very good video,especially connecting a extern resistor in at the end is epic.didn't came up in my head before.
Ryan...gre8 job explaining this everyday more confusing subjet....have seen your third episode so many times.I I can almost quote word for word.
People already come to mi for solutions to their electrical problems and these series have help me understand
Way more than I knew before...thanks again .....subscribed.
Great video series Ryan. One of the best network tutorials I have come across. Hope to see more like this from you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
~Ryan
Great, my class thanks you from down under
Of course! Thanks for tuning in!
~Ryan
Honestly excellent. Easy to understand even funny at times from part one till three. lol. Thank you sir.
Thank You, i have found this informative. its slow at work today so i thought i would reinforce my diagnostic skills. your method of adding a resistor seems to be a very useful process that i will certainly take advantage of in future diag. i have had a few communication failure jobs in the past couple weeks, 1 - 2007 pci bus and 1 - 2017 can bus issue and i found myself learning more than diagnosing. This series will definitely save me some time later. subscribed
Hey Ryan, thanks for all your hard work putting this mini series together. You break it down so well and made all the information easily digestible. Your approach will be the one I use next time I have to diagnose a vehicle CAN issue at work. Cheers!
Well done. I needed this to improve my electrical trouble shooting skills. I have a no start on a 07 Escalade ESV and a no comm to the BCM.
Ryan, your videos are outstanding! Your teaching approach is excellent, you provide great information in a very humble way. Looking forward to see more troubleshooting videos. Thanks Dan
Sir Very excited to watch this video.i dont want to miss any video.
👍👍 See you at the premiere!
~Ryan
I appreciate your time. I have watched all 3 videos and I have learned a lot, thanks.
You're welcome!
Thanks for following the series!
I'm glad you enjoyed the videos, they were a lot of fun to make!
~Ryan
so great!!! thank you for taking time and give away all these knowledge, God bless you
My pleasure! Thanks for checking out the video!
~Ryan
Excellent series on CAN bus communications. Looking forward to your next subject. TY
What a great seires Ryan,thank you so much!!!
Very clear, concise and easy to follow.
Many ah-ha moments on how to diagnose our newer model cars.
Great series of lessons. I had no idea what CAN communications was or how far back it went. Now, I can work on my '07 F150, an old '05 Rubicon, a '00 blazer and my almost new Toyota Rav 4. One question, what scan tool can I afford to get that will allow me to see interactive diagrams for various vehicles? I can't afford a $10,000+ scanner but even $2,000 or so could pay for itself in a few months/years. Of course, $300 would be better, if capable. Thanks for your efforts and your unique ability to take big undefeatable problems and break them into smaller ones that can be defeated. As an electronics analysist in the Air Force, decades ago, I recognize the same conceptual processes we used then. Great presentations!!
Thanks for watching!
The diagrams I use are from a online subscription to AllData,
AllData is a vehicle service information website
