[Ovmsdev] Model S Can Bus Specs

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Oliver,

Now, this makes my new year happy. The 512kbps (vs 1Mbps) explains the previous report I heard of can bus errors when plugged in and active at the assumed (roadster ) speed of 1Mbps. I think Tesla's switch to 512kbps is sensible - allows a lot more standard equipment to be connected.

I would love to see a can bus dump (a few minutes, with the car on).

Regards, Mark

If you don’t use CAN GROUND, the car will get confused. The Roadster doesn’t care if you use CAN GROUND, but Model S seems to be a bit sensitive on this topic. Also be careful with the +12V pin. If you produce a short your instrument panel screen will eventually go black as they seem to share the same fuse (which is the 5A fuse #49 in fuse box #2).
