CAN Bus Wiring
AEM CD has 2 separate CAN ports. For 3rd party devices, AEM recommends you use AEM CAN Bus 2, whose
connections are contained in a 2 pin Deutsch DTM connector. On older harnesses it may be in an unterminated,
twisted/shielded flying lead in the dash harness.
Electromotive ECU’s require a CAN Breakout cable (Electromotive P/N 011-10003) that allows CAN equipped TEC
units with DB9 serial ports to be connected to CAN networks while still retaining serial communications through
the DB9 cable.

Electromotive CAN Breakout Cable
TEC CAN Hi (Yellow Wire) AEM CD7 Pin 5 (CAN 2+), Gray wire in twisted/shielded pair
TEC CAN Lo (Green Wire) AEM CD7 Pin 6 (CAN 2-), Black wire in twisted/shielded pair
If you don’t have a CAN breakout cable, you can wire one yourself. CAN Low is Pin 4 and CAN High is Pin 1 on
the ECU DB9 connector. Note the terminating resistors. All CAN networks require two 120 ohm terminating
resistors, one at each physical end of the network. The CD7 has a software selectable resistor that will take care
of one end of the network but neither the TEC ECU nor the CAN breakout harness have this resistor built in so one
must be added.

Layout Overview & CAN Setup
You can either start with a new dash layout by selecting “File” then “New” in DashDesign or you can select from a
pre-designed layout that has screens already designed and inserted but has the CAN inputs left blank. These are
chosen by selecting “File” then “Open” and selecting one of the setups titled xzyblank.aemcd7 with the xyz
representing a description of the layouts contained in the file.
To import the CAN setup you select SETUP then DISPLAY from the main DashDisplay menu. Once the dialog
box opens you select the “CAN Receive” tab.

Change the settings to the following:
Show: “Port 2”
Baudrate: 1 Mbit/s
Termination Resistor: “ON”
Address Mask: “OFF”
M800 Support: “OFF”
Then click on “Import CAN” on the lower left and select the can setup file. The new items will appear in the Outputs
tab. They can now be viewed on the display or logged. You can rename, filter, or manipulate any of these channels
to make them more useful.
