  • Patent number: 10412094
    Abstract: A system for providing privileged access to an internal vehicle communication network is provided. The system includes a presentation network bus configured to provide listen-only access to a subset of in-vehicle networks, a security system configured to enable access to the presentation network bus by verifying access credentials, and a diagnostic service system configured to control access to the presentation network bus. The diagnostic service system is configured to receive a diagnostic service request after the access credentials have been verified to enable the presentation network busses for listen-only access to the subset of the in-vehicle networks. The presentation network busses may be enabled for the listen-only access after credential verification by the security system and in response to receipt of a diagnostic service request from the diagnostic service system requesting that the presentation network busses be enabled.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9678847
    Abstract: A controller area network (CAN) includes a CAN bus having a CAN-H wire, a CAN-L wire, and a pair of CAN bus terminators located at opposite ends of the CAN bus. The CAN further includes a plurality of nodes including controllers wherein at least one of the controllers is a monitoring controller. The monitoring controller includes a CAN monitoring routine for detecting a wire short fault in the CAN bus and its location.

  • Patent number: 9568533
    Abstract: A controller area network (CAN) includes a CAN bus with a CAN-H wire, a CAN-L wire, a pair of CAN bus terminators located at opposite ends of the CAN bus, each terminator having a corresponding known terminator resistance value, a plurality of nodes including controllers wherein at least one of said controllers is a monitoring controller. The monitoring controller includes a detection control routine for detecting the presence of a wire-open fault on the CAN bus, including determining a CAN bus resistance, and determining a wire-open fault on the CAN bus based upon the determined CAN bus resistance and the terminator resistance values.
