MICU Control Functions Index
SystemFunction
22-82Multiplex Integrated Control System
System Description (cont’d)
The MICU (built into the under-dash fuse/relay box) is one of the B-CAN components. The MICU controls many
systems related to the body controller area and security system, and also works as a gateway to the diagnose the
other B-CAN connected ECUs with the HDS.
Refer to the each system circuit diagram in detail.
Multiplex Control Sends the switch input signal information to the MICU and outputs the information. The MICU controls the ECUs electric load and communication based upon the information
received the B-CAN.
On-Board Diagnosis The MICU has a gateway function which sends the results of the MICU internal diagnosis and the B-CAN connected ECUs diagnosis to the HDS.
Self-Diagnosis Test mode 1 diagnoses the communication line between the MICU and B-CAN connected unit. Test mode 2 checks the switch inputs connected to the MICU.
Interior Light(s) The MICU controls the interior lights ON, OFF and dimming based upon the information of the related switches and/or the B-CAN related information.
Sleep Function The MICU has a sleep function, which it enters during the power down mode.
The MICU also controls the function of these circuits: Entry lights control (map lights and ceiling light)
Exterior lights control (including the daytime running lights control)
Horn
Interlock system
Key-in reminder
Keyless entry
Lights-on reminder
Power door locks
Power window key-off timer
Seat belt reminder
Security alarm
Turn signal/hazard flasher

Security Alarm System
22-114Keyless/Power Door Locks/Security System
System Description
The security alarm system is armed automatically after the doors, hood, and trunk are closed and locked. For the
system to arm, the ignition switch must be to LOCK (0), the key must be removed from the ignition switch, and the
MICU must receive signals that the doors, hood, and trunk are closed and locked. The alarm can be disarmed at any
time by unlocking the driver’s door with the key or pressing the UNLOCK button on the transmitter.
When everything is closed and locked, the only i
nputs that are grounded, and have 0 V, are the driver’s door lock knob
switch (LOCK position), and the audio unit or navigation unit (if equipped). In other words, all of the other switches are
open, and have about 10 to 12 V, including the key cylinder switches. The security indicator in the gauge control
module (speedo) begins to flash immediately after the vehicle is completely closed and locked, and 15 seconds later,
the security system arms. If the security indicator does not flash, the system is not arming. A beep sounds and parking
lights flash to confirm the security alarm system is armed if the LOCK button is pressed a second time within
5 seconds.
If one of the switches is misadjusted or shorted internally, or there is a short in the circuit, the security system will not
arm. As long as the control unit continues to receive a ground signal (0 V), it senses that the vehicle is not closed and
locked, and the system will not arm. A switch that is slightly misadjusted can cause the alarm to sound for no apparent
reason. In this case, a significant change in outside air temperature, the vibration of a passing truck, or someone
bumping into the vehicle could cause the alarm to sound. There is no glass breakage or motion detector feature.
If anything is opened or improperly unlocked after the system is armed, the control unit receives a ground signal from
that switch, and the 10 to 12 V reference drops to 0 V. If the audio unit or navigation unit (if equipped) is disconnected,
the input loses its ground, and the input voltage goes to 10 to 12 V. The system sounds the alarm when any of these
occur:
A door or the trunk is forced open.
A door is unlocked without using the key or the transmitter.
The hood is opened.
The audio unit or navigation unit (if equipped) is disconnected.
The transmitter PANIC button is pressed.
When the system sounds the alarm, the horn sounds and the exterior lights flash for 2 minutes. The alarm can be
stopped at any time by unlocking the driver’s door with the key or by pressing any button on the transmitter.

Panic Mode
Keyless Entry System
22-115
The panic mode sounds the alarm in order to attract attention. When the PANIC button on the transmitter is pressed
and held for 2 seconds, the horn sounds and the exterior lights flash for about 20 seconds.
The panic mode can be cancelled at anytime by pressing any button on the transmitter or by turning the ignition
switch to ON (II). The panic mode will not function if the ignition switch is to ON (II).
The keyless entry system is integrated with the multiplex integrated control system. The multiplex integrated control
unit (MICU) receives LOCK, UNLOCK and PANIC signals from the immobilizer-keyless control unit (keyless receiver).
The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the transmitter.
When the switch for the ceiling light is in the center (DOOR) position, it will come on when the UNLOCK button is
pressed. If a door is not opened, the light will go off in about 30 seconds, and the doors will relock. If the doors are
locked with the transmitter within 30 seconds, the light will go off immediately.
