Crispin Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 The CAN-bus configuration is changed from the non Plus boxes. Some parameteres are removed such as Data Direcion and Transit Format. I'm trying to setup this up with my AIM MXL dash and I'm following the AIM instructions for the G4 box with CAN but for some reason it doesn't work. Need to make sure the settings in the G4+ is identical to the G4 setup. Format is now either Standard or Extended. In the old verision it was "Transit Format" with options: Sequential, Compound or CRC32. How do these options relate? The Channel Data is removed now so I cannot check the channels in the selected config? Is the old "Generic Dash.lcc" identical to the new mode "Transmit Generic Dash"?

Scott Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Good afternoon, You are correct, the CAN Setup window has changed from the G4 ECUs to the G4+ ECUs. The PCLink help has a CAN section which explains the function of each item in the new CAN Setup window. This can be found under PCLink Help > G4+ ECU Tuning Functions > CAN > User CAN Setup Attached to this post is a screenshot showing how you will want to setup the CAN window to work with the Aim dash. Let me know if you have any issues with this working. Scott  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispin Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks. That is how I set it up but I don't get it to work with the AIM dash. Can I expect a waveform on the oscilloscope on any of the CAN signal leads from the ECU if something is wrong with the dash? E.g can I disconnect the CAN cable and only connect the scope to the cable and still see a clear waveform? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispin Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Is resistors needed on the CAN-bus wiring as shown in this document under "CAN bus basics"? Or should it work by just using the CAN-DASH cable between the ECU and the AIM dash? http://www.linkecu.com/products/InstallationAccessories/can/can-bus-information/view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 AIM should have the terminator in side so no need for an external one. servicesoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispin Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Turned out my Link CAN cable was not working properly, a new cable solved the issues and CAN now works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
