Re: Compressor and No Selenoid

This is the point of confusion. We've never used CAN before and so it isn't in our vocabulary yet. I haven't found a document which clearly shows this wiring. But I have Google'd and found a picture posted by team 385 showing the PCM wiring including the CAN daisy chain. I will wire this tomorrow.

The PCM blinking red is the No CAN Comm. and not a solenoid fault as I had first thought.

From this document I can see the diagram at the top shows where CAN connects. But from the rest of the document they don't really emphasize it in any picture. Has anyone else been confused by this?
