Hi @digitalone,
For the split termination setup that is used on the Pmod CAN (both ends terminated if they are the ends in your system), my understanding is yes you will want to use JP2 to enable the capacitor load, at least based on this TI App Note (section 4.5.2), https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slla270/slla270.pdf, which is also reiterated in this Technical Article from TI here, https://www.ti.com/document-viewer/lit/html/SSZTB40.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
JColvin
