performs an internal feedback from its Tx output to its Rx input. The actual value of the
input pin M_CAN_Rx is disregarded by the M_CAN. The transmitted messages can be
monitored at the pin M_CAN_Tx.

3.5.1.9.2 Internal Loopback Mode
Internal Loopback Mode is entered by programming bits TEST[LBCK] and
CCCR[MON] to one. This mode can be used for a "Hot Selftest", meaning the M_CAN
can be tested without affecting a running CAN system connected to the pins M_CAN_Tx
and M_CAN_Rx. In this mode pin M_CAN_Rx is disconnected from the M_CAN and
pin M_CAN_Tx is held recessive. The following figure shows the connection of
M_CAN_Tx and M_CAN_Rx to the M_CAN in case of Internal Loopback Mode.
