MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

1. General

A multiplex communication system has been adopted for body electrical system control and to achieve

a slimmer wiring harnesses configuration.

BEAN (Body Electronics Area Network) has been adopted between the body ECU, driver door ECU, front

passenger door ECU, theft deterrent ECU.

The local protocol unidirectional communication has been adopted between the body ECU, rear RH door

ECU, rear LH door ECU.

A customized body electronics system, which improves the malfunction diagnostic function, enables the

functions to be changed according to customer needs, and reduce the types of parts, has been adopted.

Multiplex Communication System

Conventional System

2. System Outline

In the conventional system, electrical loads such as motors and lights were directly connected by wire harness
to their switches which controlled their operation. However, in the multiplex communication system, the wire
harness is replaced by serial data communication by the ECU, to provide functions similar to the conventional
system, through a single serial communication bus. With this system, even when multiple tasks demand addi-
tional switches and electrical loads, communication among ECUs can be implemented through the serial
communication bus only, resulting in the only reduction in wire harnesses.
