POSSIBLE CAUSE / ANSWER

 

It is possible that you are trying to initialize a CAN‑FD baud rate.

If so, try using a standard CAN baud rate instead. 



There appears to be an issue with older VCI versions when CAN‑FD was previously selected.

In this case, CAN‑FD must remain selected, but a standard CAN baud rate should be configured. After that, it is possible to switch back to CAN without FD.
