Merry Christmas!
When the CAN bus* solid state automotive control systems become "interesting" it's usually because of low voltage. A volt meter clipped into the control module can tell you what the voltage is when issues crop up without disturbing the power leads.
* "A Controller Area Network is a robust vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other's applications without a host computer."
Or turn lights on and off without the need to run wires to and from each switch. Best fun is when the battery is low in your minivan and the CAN bus turns all the lights on to really really make sure the battery is dead.
