Components DescriptionNKS003EL
CAN CommunicationNKS003EM
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tric control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN COMMUNICATION UNIT
Refer to LAN-32, "CAN Communication Unit" .

(fixed speed) cruise
control mode Brake assist
(with pre-
view func- tion) Description
ICC unit ××× Operates electric throttle control actuator and brake
booster based on that sensor signals and CAN commu-
nication data, then controls vehicle distance.
ICC sensor ×× Irradiates laser beam, and receives reflected laser
beam to measure distance from preceding vehicle.
ECM ××× Transmits throttle position signal and ICC steering
switch signal to ICC unit through CAN communication.
ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit) ×××
Transmits wheel speed sensor signal to ICC unit
through CAN communication.
Brake pressure sensor ×× Detects fluid pressure in master cylinder.
Brake booster ×× Adjusts brake fluid pressure, based on command from
ICC unit.
BCM × Transmit front wiper request signal to ICC unit through
CAN communication.
TCM ×× Transmits gear position signal and output shaft revolu-
tion signal to ICC unit through CAN communication.
Unified meter and A/C amp. ××× Receives ICC system display signal, ICC warning lamp
signal and buzzer output signal from ICC unit through
CAN communication.
ICC brake switch, stop
lamp switch ××× Transmit operating signal to ICC unit when touching
brake pedal. ICC unit cancels cruise system at driver's
brake operation.
ICC brake hold relay × Receives stop lamp driving signal from ICC unit, and
turns stop lamp ON.
Parking brake switch ×× The cruise system is cancelled when applied.
