High Speed Controller Area Network 1, 2, 3 and 4 (HS-CAN1, HS-CAN2, HS-CAN3 and HS-CAN4)
The High Speed-Controller Area Networks (HS-CANs) operate at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and are designed for real-time powertrain, audio, multimedia and driver feature information transfer and control. Modules on the HS-CANs communicate using bussed messages and use unshielded twisted pair cable, data bus (+) and data bus (-) circuits which allows sharing of information between all modules on each network.
The GWM transfers messages between the diagnostic scan tool and the modules on the HS-CANs.
The GWM translates the diagnostic messages from the DIAG1 network to the HS-CAN1 allowing communication between the modules and the diagnostic scan tool.
The GWM translates the diagnostic messages from the DIAG2 network to the HS-CAN2, HS-CAN3 and HS-CAN4 allowing communication between the modules and the diagnostic scan tool.
