DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
1. Function description of large-scale multiplex communication system for vehicle body [LIN]
(1) Large-scale multiplex communication system for vehicle body [LIN] is used for communication systems between body system components. When communication failure occurs due to an open circuit and other defects in communication line, diagnostic code of the corresponding system is output by the control master ECM. (Communication systems and the connected ECMs are described below).
NOTE:
Each ECM has the failsafe function to ensure the minimum performance and system protection in case of communication failure.
