Causes
- Damaged or corroded CAN wiring or connectors
- Poor or missing ground/power to one or more modules on the chassis CAN
- Failed CAN transceiver or control module on the bus
- Missing or failed termination resistor(s)
- Water intrusion or physical connector damage
- Low battery voltage or intermittent power supply
Symptoms
- MIL or chassis-related warning lamps illuminated (ABS, ESC, VDC, etc.)
- Intermittent or complete loss of communication with one or more modules on a scan tool
- Erratic behavior of chassis systems (ABS, traction control, suspension)
- No data or frozen values for affected modules in diagnostic tool
- CAN bus errors recorded in other modules or multiple communication-related DTCs
What to check
- Connect a diagnostic scan tool and confirm C2507 and any related U/C codes; record freeze frame data
- Check battery voltage and charging system — ensure stable 12V supply during testing
- Visually inspect CAN wiring harnesses, connectors, and module grounds for damage, corrosion, or water intrusion
- Backprobe CAN_H and CAN_L at an accessible connector and measure idle voltages and resistance to identify opens/shorts
- Measure resistance across CAN_H and CAN_L with ignition off to check termination (~60 ohms expected for two 120 ohm terminators in parallel)
- Wiggle test wiring and connectors while monitoring the bus for changes or intermittent codes
Signal parameters
- Idle voltages: CAN_H ~2.5 V, CAN_L ~2.5 V (both lines near mid-supply when recessive)
- Dominant state: CAN_H rises and CAN_L falls producing ~1.5–2.5 V differential (typical differential ~2 V when dominant)
- Termination: ~60 ohms across CAN_H and CAN_L (two 120 ohm terminators in parallel)
- Typical bus speed: high-speed chassis CAN often 500 kbps (confirm vehicle-specific rate before advanced tests)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Read and record C2507 plus any other communication DTCs and freeze frame data with a scan tool; note which modules are not responding
- Check and restore battery voltage if low; repeat scan to see if codes persist
- Perform a thorough visual inspection of CAN wiring, module connectors and grounds for damage or corrosion; repair any obvious issues
- With ignition ON (engine off), backprobe CAN_H and CAN_L at a convenient connector; confirm idle voltages around mid-supply and resistance ~60 ohms across lines with key off
- If voltages are abnormal, isolate sections of the bus by disconnecting modules one at a time (where serviceable) to identify which module or harness segment causes the fault
- Perform wiggle tests on wiring and connectors while monitoring live data for communication loss or code set events
- Use an oscilloscope to capture waveforms if intermittent or complex noise is present; analyze for missing recessive/dominant transitions, reflections, or excessive noise
- Repair wiring, terminals, or replace faulty connector/module/transceiver as identified. Reinstall correct termination resistors if missing/defective
- Clear codes, perform a road or function test to confirm the fault does not return and related systems operate normally
- If fault persists after wiring checks and module isolation, consider module replacement following manufacturer procedures and re-test
Likely causes
- Broken or chafed CAN_H or CAN_L conductor in main harness
- Loose, corroded, or pushed-out connector pins at a chassis module (ABS, BCM, SRS, etc.)
- Failed CAN transceiver inside a module (module reports bus errors)
- Open or short to voltage/ground on CAN lines due to damaged wiring or aftermarket equipment
- Missing or open termination resistor (expected ~60 ohms across CAN_H and CAN_L)
Fault status
Status
