Fast Facts

Serial bus systems provide for smooth data exchange between electronic control modules in the motor vehicle and represent the backbone of modern electronic architectures. While CAN has been putting its stamp on serial data exchange in the motor vehicle for a long time now, the serial bus systems LIN, FlexRay and MOST can also be found in modern automobiles.

This E-Learning module is intended for all those who want to gain a better understanding of the basic properties of modern serial bus systems in the motor vehicle. Have a look at the table of contents for an overview of the E-Learning module contents. You can also preview some of the media objects integrated in the learning package and interact with them.


This E-Learning module is an excellent way to prepare yourself for the E-Learning modules “Introduction to CAN”, “Introduction to LIN” and “Introduction to FlexRay”. It is also ideal as preparation for all Vector Academy training courses. The reason is that a certain level of understanding of the operation of automotive serial bus systems will simplify your introduction to learning materials of many Vector Academy training courses.
