The CAN Bus network allows microchips in electronic control units to communicate throughout a vehicle. It uses a bus topology with two data wires that nodes transmit dominant or recessive bit states on. Termination resistors are needed at either end of the bus to prevent signal reflections that could corrupt communications. Correct cable impedance and shielding are also important to ensure reliable data transfer through the CAN Bus network.

What is Impedanz? Note: It is impossible to check Impedanz with an Multimeter! Cable-Impedanz Correct Impedanz
Reasons for Impedanz Error Frames:
Shield
The shield only can have one connecting to the ground. If
more connections to the ground could cause problems.
The shield have to be connected on every pin to the right
location. J1939 ‘Lite’ cable
