Question

How to test faulty automotive CAN bus terminating resistor in electric vehicles?

Answer

Measure resistor resistance and test signal reflection.

Explain

EV CAN buses rely on terminating resistors (120Ω) for signal integrity. CHEPQ tools measure resistor resistance and use oscilloscopes to detect signal reflections (>5V spikes), replacing faulty resistors—preventing communication errors in high-voltage EV systems.
