CAN troubleshooting methodology

Communication problems in CAN-based systems, along with their resulting system failures, can have a wide variety of causes. The cause can often be found quickly in newly installed systems since typical causes of trouble can be easily identified and eliminated. However, if the cause remains unclear after initial tests or if problems occur sporadically, then a structured approach is required since the complexity of modern systems and the large number of possible sources of error often make it difficult to isolate and eliminate faults.
