Instrument Cluster / Carrier: Description and Operation






Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface

Data bus on board diagnostic interface (J533) interlinks the different Controller Area Network (CAN) bus systems in the vehicle.

It transmits data from, for example, the Engine Control Module (ECM) (drivetrain CAN bus) to the instrument cluster (instrument cluster CAN bus).

Fault finding is done using "Guided Fault Finding" in the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051.
