Communications Network: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Land Rover Range Rover, 2008 Land Rover Range Rover, and 2007 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A number of different types of communication network are incorporated into the vehicle wiring harnesses for the transmission of commands and information between control modules. The configuration installed on a particular vehicle depends on the model and equipment level.
The communication networks available on the vehicle are shown in the table below.
NOTE:
For ease of reference, all networks are listed in alphabetical order.
