Terminating Resistor

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volvo S60, 2008 Volvo S60, 2007 Volvo S60, 2006 Volvo S60, and 2005 Volvo S60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A = Master node

B = Slave node

C = Transmitter/receiver

LIN is terminated to the battery voltage on each node via a pull-up resistance

The master node is terminated with 1 kΩ and the slave nodes with 30 kΩ.

The termination resistance forms a parallel circuit and the resistance to the battery voltage depends on the number of connected nodes. The resistance to ground should be infinite or at least extremely large if no communications are in progress.
