CAN bus wiring precautions
▪CAN Bus High and Low are differential signals, so twisted pair MUST be used. Failing to
do so will compromise the entire CAN Bus System.
▪In some extreme environments, shielded twisted pair may be required to help with
reliability and data integrity.
▪The less connectors in any transmission system the better. Unnecessary connectors are
almost guaranteed to present an impedance discontinuity and hence may cause
reflections and data loss.
▪CAN Bus termination must be done correctly by using a 120 ohm 0.25W resistor at each
END of the bus system.
▪Maximum Stub length to a device from the main Bus is recommended at 0.3m, in
accordance with High-Speed ISO 11898 Standard specification. See Figure 3.3.

4.3 Illumination Signal Wiring
The CAN Gauge can dim illumination during night when the parking lights are on. Using the
factory service manual, find a wire in the interior that switches to +12V power when the
parking lights are on. Verify with a voltmeter or test light that the wire receives +12V when
the parking lights are turned on.
Note that many vehicles have an illumination switched connector in the interior fuse box.

6.0 Emtune Settings
Ensure the ECU firmware Version is 2.17.0. If using earlier firmware versions, the display
may still be operational however some functionality and channels will not be available.
Make sure the ECU is powered up and is Online in Emtune.
Goto Config View->Communications->CAN Bus 1->CAN Bus 1 Setup->CAN 1 Baud Rate and
set to 1Mbps.
Figure 6.1 CAN Bus 1 Setup
Open the first available Channel. If there is nothing else already configured on the CAN bus
then CAN 1 Channel 1 would be the first available channel. If this channel is already used,
then simply select a channel that is free. The CAN 1 channel number selection will have no
effect on the operation
Set CAN 1 –Channel 1 as per figure 6.2
