Does 60 ohms mean your CAN bus is good?

Let's put the number back in the wiring diagram.

THE SHORT ANSWER

No—not by itself.

Before we call the network good, let's ask what the meter was connected to. A reading belongs to that test point and the wiring connected to it. It doesn't clear every network in the vehicle.

Put the reading back in the diagram

  1. Which branch are we on? The diagnostic connector may connect through a gateway. It isn't automatically a direct view of the network involved in the complaint.
  2. What was connected? Opening a connection can change the path or remove termination.
  3. What should this arrangement read? Use the applicable service information and test conditions. Don't carry a familiar expectation onto a different branch.

The Ascent example: same reading, better question

The presenter initially judges a diagnostic-port reading against the wrong expectation. Looking at the diagram identifies the diagnostic-port/body-unit branch as different from the main network he needs to investigate. That changes the interpretation.

What the reading can tell us

Whether the connected arrangement matches its applicable resistance expectation, under the specified test conditions.

What it cannot tell us alone

That every branch communicates correctly, or that the vehicle's complaint is fixed.

Original sources and what still needs checking

Written from GoTech’s original demonstrations. These are explanations of the examples, not a vehicle-specific test procedure. Technician review and independent verification of the source diagrams remain pending.

Part 2 explains wiring and termination. The Ascent example changes the expectation at the diagnostic-port branch. A separate Ascent passage at 42:00–42:25 contains conflicting descriptions of a meter result; its exact value and connector identity remain unresolved. Neither is turned into a test instruction here.
