Multiplex Control System

|
When the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the multiplex control unit, gauge assembly and ECM/PCM wake up at the same time without ''talking'' to each other through the communication lines. When any switch in the multiplex system is turned on, it wakes up its related control unit which, in turn, wakes up the other units. After confirming the sleep mode, look in the following table for the switch most closely related to the problem. Operate that switch and see if its control unit wakes up. NOTE: If any control unit is faulty and will not wake up, several parts of the system will malfunction at the same time. In the table below, the control unit is followed by a list of the switches and input signals that can wake it up.
Is the wake-up function OK? YES – Intermittent failure; the system is OK at this time. NO – Test the multiplex control unit inputs (see page 22-277). |
