ISystem Descriptions
The Multiplex Control System has four internal
functions:. Multiplexing (send multiple signals over sharedwtres). Wake up/sleep (runs at full power only on demand toreduce battery draw). Fail-safe (fixes or ignores faulty signals). Self-diagnosis (Mode 1 for the system, Mode 2 for
input lines)
The system controls the function of these circuits:. Entry lightcontrol (ignition key lightandceiting light). Wiper/washer intermittent wipe and park functions. Keyless/power door lock. Meter assembly, temperature gauge, and indicator
lights. HVAC (compressor and fan control). Key-in reminder. Headlight reminder. Seatbelt reminder

Multiplex Communication
To reduce the number of wire harnesses, digital signals
are sent via shared multiplex communication linesrather than sending normal electrical signals throughindividual wires.. The input signals from each switch are converted todigital signals at the central processing unit (CpU).. The digital signalsaresentfromthetransmitting unitto the receiving unit as serial signals.. The transmitted signal is converted to a switch signalat the receiving unit, and it operates the related
component or monitors a swltch.. There are exclusive communicalion lines between
the ECM, the gauge assembly, and the under,dash
fuse/relay box.
Wake-up and Sleep
The multiplex control system has "wake-up" and"sleep" functions to decrease parasitic draw on the
battery when the ignition switch is OFF.. ln the sleep mode, the multiplex control unit 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, adoor is unlocked), the related control unit in the sleep
mode immediately wakes up and begins to function.. When the ignition switch is turned OFF, and the
driver's or front passenger's door is opened, then
closed, there is about a 10 second delay before the
control unit goes from the wake-up mode to the sleepmode.. lf any door is open, the sleep mode will not function.. lf a key is in the ignition switch, the sleep mode will
not function.. When in sleep mode, the draw is reduced from
70 80 mA to less than 10 mA.
Fail-safe
To prevent improper operation, the multiplex controlsystem has a fail-safe function. In the fail-safe mode,
the output signal js fixed when any part of the systemmalfunctions (for example a faulty control unit orcommunication line).
Each control unit has a hardware fail-safe function thatfixes the output signal when there is any CPUmalfunction, and a software fail-safe function thatignores the signal from the malfunctioning control unitand allows the system to operate normally.
