This allows for a very high speed system of communication, which is also very reliable.
Should one ECM fail or transmit corrupted or otherwise incorrect messages, none of the
other ECMs on the network will be affected, and after a certain time that ECM will be
prevented from transmitting further messages until the fault is rectified. This stops the
ECM from clogging the network with incorrect data and preventing other messages from
getting through. The fault would then be reported by a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code).
Triumph currently uses CAN for communication between the following ECMs:
• Engine ECM
• Instruments
• ABS ECM
• Immobiliser or Chassis ECM
• Diagnostic connector
• Inertial Measurement Unit (if fitted)
• Audio system (if fitted)
• Electronic steering lock (if fitted)
• LED Headlights (if fitted).
• Suspension ECM (if fitted)
