The number of control modules in the CAN varies depending on the level of equipment, the vehicle model and the structure week.

NOTE:

To troubleshoot respective CAN-net, see appropriate diagnostic service information for CAN-related diagnostic trouble codes for Central electronic module (CEM). For example, choose any of CEM-DF01 - DF17 depending on CAN-net.

Explanation    
  = CAN Low speed section (125 kbit/s). Contains the control modules located in the passenger compartment and cargo compartment.
  = CAN High speed section (500 kbit/s). Contains the control modules located in the engine compartment.
Slave control module = A control module with low computing power which is connected to a "master control module" and which only operates on commands from the master control module.
Option = Accessories installed at the factory to order, when purchasing a new car.
Accessories = Aftermarket installation.
