[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Oliver,

Thanks for this. I managed to get, and convert, the data. I'll let you know what I find.

Regards, Mark.

The two pins just left of “our” can pins are transmitting on +/- 4V. And on the far left side there are probably additional can pins. Could mean that the S is running multiple can buses (Roadster has 3 different can buses running). Somewhere I read that Model S also has a “BEAN Bus” (a Toyota specific standard running on a single wire - http://elinux.org/BEAN_Bus). But for now, we should stick to the can signals ;)

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).
