Terminating Resistor

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volvo XC90, 2013 Volvo XC90, 2012 Volvo XC90, 2011 Volvo XC90, and 2010 Volvo XC90. 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.
