Scan Tool or CAN bus “No Communication Diagnostics”
It’s not rocket science… Although they do use network topology
Occasionally, when you’re working with vehicular diagnostics, you may come across a certain scan tool issue. Either you have no communication with the scan tool, or you may retrieve communication codes indicating that one or more specific modules are not communicating. Always start by familiarizing yourself with the type of network topology (structure) used for the communication network on the vehicle you are working on. This will help you to be aware of possible faults and help you strategize how to locate a problem. For most of the common issues, there are only a limited number of ways the system can fail.
