A CANbus Ballast is very similar to a regular ballast. It performs all the same functions that any other ballast would, starting the flow of electricity into the lamp and regulating it for an even light output. However, a CANbus ballast has additional features.
A Controller Area Network (CAN) bus is a robust vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other’s applications without a host computer. Basically, a vehicle that comes with a CANbus system helps to notify the driver when something is wrong, it also monitors that a particular bulb is working. This can cause a problem when replacing a traditional light bulb w an HID system because they will not read the same to the CANbus controller (as they use less power) and will assume the light bulb is burnt out resulting in an error message being displayed to the driver, a flickering problem, or no power being delivered at all.
A CANbus ballast corrects this providing additional resistance to overcome the vehicle’s
sensors so that the lights can work properly.
