Software reset a PIC - ECIO40P

[Jay Dee]

Hi,
I have a program using CAN and mostly runs OK but on occation the CAN transmitter starts to output Garbage. The main program seem to keep running fine.

A) Can I software request a reset of the PIC ? Is there a propper way of doing this? Or would I need to assign an output to toggle the MCLR pin?

B) I can pull the CAN Controller reset low, then need to run the CAN initialise macro again. --- this is option, just need a way of locally detecting when the CAN output is garbage.

If you find out what's causing the problem then let us know.

Thanks Ben,
Yeah, If I do! the devil is in the detail.
Just working on a reliable way to detect the fault locally...then I can apply the reset.
