Controlling an actuator using arduino CAN shield

Hi, I am trying to control the clock wise rotation and counter clock wise rotation of this actuator from car engine.

I have arduino UNO with CAN BUS shield.

Unfortunately, I am very weak with programing.
I was thinking that I could somehow apply this code to achieve it by incorporating CAN code.

int led = 13;

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {                
  // initialize the digital pin as an output.
  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);     
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(led, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);               // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(led, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);               // wait for a second
}

Just simple CW and CCW motion control is all I need.
Please advise me how to approach to acheive this.

You need to start with defining your requirements better. Controlling an actuator using a CAN shield is meaningless. What value(s) from the CAN shield should "control" the actuator? What is the relationship between the CAN shield value and the position of the actuator?

Can you control that actuator in any fashion now?
