Groundsmaster 4500D/4700DPage 5 48Electrical System
CANbus Termination Resistor
System communication between electrical components
on Groundsmaster 4500D and 4700D machines is
accomplished on a CANbus communication system.
Two (2) specially designed, twisted cables form the bus
for the network used on the machine. These wires pro-
vide the data pathways between machine components.
At the end of the twisted pair of bus cables near the In-
foCenter display is a 120 ohm termination resistor.
The CANbus termination resistor plugs into the plat-
form wire harness in the control arm. The resistor can be
accessed by removing the cover plate on the right side
of the control arm. The wire harness connector has a
blue insert to identify the proper location for the termina-
tion resistor.
NOTE: The Groundsmaster 4500D and 4700D en-
gine ECU includes the second CANbus system termin-
ation resistor. This resistor cannot be accessed for
testing.
NOTE: Refer to the Electrical Schematics and Wire
Harness Drawings in Chapter 9 Foldout Drawings for
additional information on termination resistor location
and wire connections.
IMPORTANT: The termination resistor is required
for proper electrical system operation.
Termination Resistor Test
The termination resistor (Fig. 59) can be tested using a
digital multimeter (ohms setting). There should be 120
ohms resistance between terminals A and B of the ter-
mination resistor. There is not a terminal in cavity C on
Groundsmaster 4500D and 4700D machines.
