I got called to check a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt with 90,000 miles and I was really surprised at how good of shape the car was in! It looked almost brand new still!!! But anyways it had a strange issue where the cluster was acting weird and the customer said the power steering had gotten stiff on it. The shop scanned the car for codes and noticed they could not establish communication with the ECM and decided to call me in to diagnose the issue.

Another very informative post. Yes drawing it out helped me understand it better but as I have said I'm a shade tree since the early 70ies. But what is great with you and Ivan is if I come across something I know one of you will have a video that will help me. And I do enjoy all of them so please keep them coming. Thank you.

Awsom video, excellent diagram. One more point. A closed loop network with terminating load resistors at both ends offers a self-healing environment. The two 120 ohm load resistors if they see each other result in a 60 ohm total load for all high impedance devices on the network. The network can communicate between all modules with a termination load range between 60 and 120 ohms.

Great thought process! Simple repair, but very informative video, with good explanation on the effect of an interruption on the CAN bus, with the waveforms corresponding to where you scope. By coincidence, Ivan from PHAD just led a crusade to resurrect a Cobalt with most modules damaged by careless welding - three epic videos :-)

I am happy to see that you re-flowed the solder joints - I have a theory that in a vibrational environments, with a loose connector, the metal (copper?) work-hardens. So to my mind, re-flowing the solder joints has the added benefit of annealing the metal somewhat. If true, then doing so "unloaded" would also be important... Just a theory...

Hello I’ve worked on and Train on Device Networks on Machines. On Industrial Device Network Modules the internal Resistance is 36k ohms to 39k ohms this is the industry standard for Device Network modules. This is checking across CAN_H & CAN_L with you Ohm meter.They also have a Node Address assigned to each module. They also have a Master Scanner unit. Also have you ever measured your CAN_H to Common or 0volt and CAN_L to Common or 0volt. In and industrial situations the network power is 24 volts DC. You can High and Low voltage should added together around 5.6 volts Dc. Enjoy the videos up here in North Alabama.

Automotive CAN uses a 2.5 volt bias and pulls up on can high to about 3.5 volts and down on can low to about 1.5 volts. The reason industrial can bus uses higher voltage is just due to the length of cable runs and the higher voltage can give some better noise rejection.

Hey, I see you ride bikes, looks like Mountain Bike riding. I ride a rode bike but when I was a little younger I did some Mountain bike riding, in fact, I purchased one of the first full carbon hardtail bike off the internet. I still have it. I have an older LOOK 695 road bike and still ride 40 to 50 miles a week. Really appreciate the videos and while watching see you seem to struggle sometimes which is the case for a real video and not a planned video. Keep doing the videos, please. I could use your expertise on an issue with my 2009 Pontiac g8gt. I rebuilt the engine with the help of KZfaq. Always hated working on cars. Everything finally got done but now I have an ESF and stabilitrack lights come on but only when I slow down or stop at the light. It has a bad effect on my RPM and the engine wants to shut down if I don't feather it with the brake peddle. I have a few voltages that should be on the BCM but are not. You could probably figure it out. The schematic that I purchased does not agree with my Manual on the wire numbers on the BCM. Just purchased a used EBCM so I need your advice as to what type of Diagnostic Scanner would help me look at the steering wheel angle sensor and yaw control sensor and be able to reprogram the EBCM to my VIN number. Wish I could get you to look at it but I really want to figure it out myself. I need to stay under 1000.00 dollars if possible. Any help would be appreciated.
