 There is initially two goals to this starting investigation : one is to extract data from the system just because I can, and the other, much more concrete is that, after my bike fall the very first day I had it, the button to turn the 4 blink light stop working. It’s not a button that you need a lot but when you need it, you really do, and so I thought if I could reproduce what this button do programmatically, I would not have to replace a 300€ commodo and rely on my phone instead….  Let’s see if that is even possible. There is initially two goals to this starting investigation : one is to extract data from the system just because I can, and the other, much more concrete is that, after my bike fall the very first day I had it, the button to turn the 4 blink light stop working.

 +So far, my understanding is that ODB2 is a standard way (a protocole) to establish dialog with various MCU’s and devices within a vehicule. It defines how to « talk » with the different MCU in the vehicule and define standard way to report problems depending on it source, nature and criticality. It also include the definition of a connector, defining its shape and to what are all its pin connected

 +CAN is a low level communication protocol that defines low level details as how many wires do you need, what are the different voltages used on those wires, how is a bit transported on this wires, how those bits finally make a byte or more, how are collision detected and resolved (when two devices want to talk at the same time), …
 +
 +ODB2 protocole can be « transported » in different ways, CAN Bus being one of them.

 +Let’s dig a little…
