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.
 The single wire method is used between the units not requiring the communication to move at a fast speed.
 Using a single wire method reduces the number of the wires used on the body controller area network.

HDS Inputs and Commands

22-88Multiplex Integrated Control System
System Description (cont’d)
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 software is loaded.

Before troubleshooting the gauge system, refer to multiplex integrated control system B-CAN System Diagnosis Test
Mode A (see page 22-93).
The gauge control module (tach) has a self-diagnostic function shown, and also has a customizable reset function.
 The beeper drive circuit check.
 The indicator drive circuit check.
 The switch input test.
 The LCD segments check.
 The gauges drive circuit check (Tachometer, Fuel gauge, Coolant temperature gauge).
 The communication line check (B-CAN, F-CAN, and UART lines).
NOTE: Indicators are also controlled via the communication line.
Using the HDS, select Body Electrical, Gauges, then Function Test and do the self-diagnostic function.
Before doing the self-diagnostic function, check the No. 10 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and the No. 23
(10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box. 1. Push and hold the SEL/RESET switch button.
2. Turn the headlights ON.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
4. Within 5 sec., turn the headlights OFF, then ON and OFF again.
5. Within 5 sec., release the SEL/RESET switch button, and then push and release the button three times repeatedly.
NOTE:  While in the self-diagnostic mode, the dash lights brightness controller operates normally.
 While in the self-diagnostic mode, the SEL/RESET switch button is used to start the Beeper Drive Circuit Test and the Gauge Drive Circuit Check.
 If the vehicle speed exceeds 2 km/h (1.2 mph) or the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), the self-diagnostic mode ends.
(cont’d)
Move to self-diagnostic mode.

1: ’07 TYPE S and ’08-09 models
2: ’08-09 models
3: TYPE S and ’08 Premium and ’09 models
At the initial stage of the self-diagnostic function, the beep sounds intermittently, the beeper sounds continuously
when any of the following switch inputs are switched from OFF to ON:
Cruise control main, dash lights brightness controller volume ( ), ( ) button, mph km/h switch, parking brake switch,
SEL/RESET switch, SET, RESUME, CANCEL switches, and VSA OFF switch . : ’07 TYPE S and ’08-09 models
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, the beeper sounds five times.
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, all the segments blink five times.
When entering the self-diagnostic mode, the tachometer needle sweeps from the minimum position to maximum
position, then returns to the minimum position.
NOTE:
After the beeper stops sounding and the gauge needle returns to the minimum position, pushing the SEL/RESET
switch starts the Beeper Drive Circuit Check (one beep) and the Gauge Drive Circuit Check again.
The check cannot be started again until the gauge needle returns to the minimum position.
If the needle fails to sweep, or the beeper does not sound, replace the gauge control module (tach).
