Re: CAN Jaguar: could longer CAN cables cause problems?

Auto,
You should remake terminations every year. If you are following the instructions and crimped a plug onto the resistor leads, the connection is not gas tight and likely deteriorated over the year or two since you made it. terminating in the CAN side of the RS232 cable is the recommended practice. If you didn't change the baud rate, I don't think the Jaguars can do that by themselves.
