COMPONENTS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
CAN CommunicationNDS000DE
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
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-
tronic 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.
For details, refer to LAN-34, "
CAN Communication Unit" .
Component parts Function
AWD control unit
Controls driving force distribution by signals from each sensor and switch from rear wheel driving
mode (0:100) to AWD mode (50:50).
2WD mode is available by fail-safe function if malfunction is detected in AWD system.
Wheel sensors Detects wheel speed.
AWD solenoid Controls electric controlled coupling by command current from AWD control unit.
Electric controlled coupling Transmits driving force to front final drive.
AWD warning lamp
Illuminates if malfunction is detected in electrical system of AWD system.
There is 1 blink in 2 seconds if rotation difference of front wheels and rear wheels is large.
There are 2 blinks in 1 second if load is still applied to driving parts.
ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit)Transmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.
Vehicle speed signal
Stop lamp switch signal (brake signal)
ECMTransmits the following signals via CAN communication to AWD control unit.
Accelerator pedal position signal
Engine speed signal
Unified meter and A/C amp. Transmits conditions of parking brake switch via CAN communication to AWD control unit.
