CAN Bus and Integrated
Systems
IMI Awards QAA level 3
IRTEC licensing supplementary module
This is a one day advanced level technical course covering the following main subjects:
- Overview of automotive bus systems
(CAN, VAN, LIN, MOST and FlexRay)
- Technical features of the CAN bus
- CAN hardware and terminating resistors
- Testing CAN voltage levels and resistance
- ISO standards for CAN bus
- The CAN protocol explained
- Physical properties of CAN networks
- CAN baud rates
- The CAN gateway and diagnostic interface
- CAN network topology
- Function communication chains
- Fault tolerance of the CAN bus
- Diagnosis of CAN bus related system faults
- Programming and configuration
- Course assessment and feedback
The aim of the course is to enable delegates to gain a thorough understanding of vehicle bus networks and their influence upon the functionality of modern vehicle electronic systems.
During the course, delegates learn how to test the voltage and resistance levels of CAN bus on live vehicles. They will investigate the topology of CAN networks using oscilloscopes and diagnostic equipment in conjunction with workshop technical information.
By the end of the course, delegates will understand and be able to explain the functions of CAN bus networks. They will have gained the knowledge and skills required for diagnosing bus related faults and be able to put into practice what they have learnt when working on CAN enabled vehicle electronic systems.
Course assessment and accreditation
Assessment is on going throughout the course and comprises of short multiple answer questionnaires and a practical task.
The course is accredited by IMI Awards Ltd for QAA certification at level 3.
For those in the transport and heavy sector working towards gaining an IRTEC license, this course is accredited as a supplementary module at Master Technician level under the IRTEC Technician Licensing scheme.
