2. If a vehicle with CUSW architecture is experiencing communication issues,
which diagnostic tool would be most appropriate to troubleshoot the
problem?
A tire pressure monitoring system
A fuel injector tester
A CAN bus analyzer
An OBD-II scanner
3. What is the effect of a short to ground on the CAN-B (+) line?
It will only affect the CAN-A bus.
It will prevent communication on the CAN-B bus.
It will have no effect on communication.
It will enhance communication on the CAN-B bus.
4. In a High-speed CAN system, what voltage at Pins 6 or 14 of the DLC should
we expect to see when there is NO vehicle module communications
, happening? In other words, the "recessive state" of the network.
3.5 volts
5 volts

larger messages.
10. Describe the importance of the Loss of Comm Test in diagnosing vehicle
communication problems.
The Loss of Comm Test is used to evaluate the Security Gateway's
functionality.
The Loss of Comm Test helps in determining the specific vehicle
model associated with the issue.
The Loss of Comm Test is primarily used to measure voltage levels in
the communication network.
