Body Controller Area Network (B-CAN) and Fast Controller Area Network (F-CAN)
The body controller area network (B-CAN) and the fast controller area network (F-CAN) share information between multiple electronic control units (ECUs). B-CAN communication moves at a slower speed (33.33 kbps) for convenience related items and for other functions. F-CAN information moves at a faster speed (500 kbps) for ‘‘real time'' functions such as fuel and emissions data. To allow both systems to share information, the gauge control module translates information from B-CAN to F-CAN and from F-CAN to B-CAN.This is called the Gateway Function.
Gateway Function
The gauge control module acts as a gateway to allow both systems to share information. The gauge control module translates and relays the information from B-CAN to F-CAN and from F-CAN to B-CAN.
Network ‘‘Loss of Communication'' Error Checking Function
The ECUs on the CAN circuit send messages to each other. If there are any malfunctions on the network, the LCD display on the gauge control module can indicate the error messages by entering the gauge control module self-diagnostic function.
Self-diagnostic Function
By connecting the HDS to the data link connector (DLC), the HDS can retrieve the diagnostic information from the MICU via a diagnostic line called K-LINE. The K-LINE is separate from the CAN lines, and is connected to the CAN related ECUs. The MICU is a gateway between the HDS and B-CAN related ECUs, and it sends B-CAN diagnostic information to the HDS. When doing a function test with the HDS, the HDS sends an output signal through the K-LINE to the MICU. The MICU either relays the request to another ECU or commands the function itself.
Wake-up and Sleep Function
The multiplex integrated control system has wake-up and sleep functions to decrease parasitic draw on the battery when the ignition switch is at LOCK (0).
In the sleep mode, the multiplex integrated control system stops functioning (communication and CPU control) when it is not necessary for the system to operate.
As soon as any operation is requested (for example, a door is unlocked), the related control units in the sleep mode immediately wake-up and begin to function.
When the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0) with all the doors and the tailgate closed, and the driver's door is opened then closed, there is a delay of about 40 seconds before the control unit goes from the wake-up mode to the sleep mode.
The sleep mode will not function if any door or the tailgate is open or if a key is in the ignition switch.
Electrical draw is reduced from 200 mA to less than 35 mA when in sleep mode.
NOTE: Sleep and Wake-Up Mode Test.
Fail-Safe Function
To prevent improper operation, the MICU has a fail-safe function. In the fail-safe mode, the output signal is fixed when any part of the system malfunctions (for example, a faulty control unit or communication line).
Each control unit has a hardware fail-safe function that fixes the output signal when there is a CPU malfunction and a software fail-safe function that ignores the signal from a malfunctioning control unit, which allows the system to continue operating normally.
Hardware Fail-Safe Control
Fail-safe function
When a CPU problem or an abnormal power supply voltage is detected, the MICU moves to the hardware fail-safe mode, and each system output load is set to the pre-programmed fail-safe value.
Software Fail-Safe Control
When any of the data from the B-CAN circuit cannot be received within a specified time, or an unusual combination of data is recognized, the MICU moves to the software fail-safe mode. The data that cannot be received is forced to a pre-programmed value.
Power Supply Voltage Monitoring Function
The MICU monitors the power supply voltage (back-up voltage). If the voltage drops below 10 V, the MICU will not store DTCs.

HDS Inputs and Function Tests
Certain inputs happen so quickly that the HDS cannot update fast enough. Hold the switch that is being tested while monitoring the Data List. This should give the HDS time to update the signal on the Data List.
Because the HDS software is updated to support the release for newer vehicles, it is not uncommon to see system function tests that are not supported.
Make sure that the most current HDS software is loaded.
