Hi guys,

I thought I'd casually scan my E430 today, it's been running fine for many thousands of miles since my last post, still is, but it did pull this pending fault (P1747). Not sure how long it's been there, and I can't find clear information for this one. Could someone tell me what it means?

Normally, you should not have any CAN bus faults. Note that the CANBus C (and B) have redundancy, meaning you have two CAN busses running between modules carrying the same information (with inverse polarities). If one fails, the other will carry the same info between the modules, but this condition is detected and noted. So with a single failure, everything will work as they should, with no signaling redundancy. While this is OK for a while, it typically signals something is going bad (water / oil intrusion to the connectors, intermittent connector issues mechanical / corrosion), CAN bus wiring).

Reset the code, and keep an eye on it. It may or may not come back.
