INTRODUCTION
Description of the multiplex network:
The multiplex network consists of a twisted pair of wires connected to several vehicle computers.
These two wires are called multiplex line H and multiplex line L.
Depending on the vehicle options, there is a single multiplex network.
–the Vehicle multiplex line (injection, anti-lock braking system/electronic stability program, instrument panel, air
conditioning, rev counter, sequential gearbox, UCH, airbag/pretensioners) is always present,
–the Multimedia multiplex line (navigation, radio, display, hands-free telephone) depending on the vehicle options.
Data is exchanged by the computers on the Vehicle multiplex line and Multimedia multiplex line networks at a
communication speed of 500 kbit/s.
The Vehicle multiplex line network has two computers, each with an internal resistance of 120ΩΩ Ω Ω
(network terminating resistors):
–the injection computer,
–the airbag computer.
The Multimedia multiplex line network has two computers, each with an internal resistance of 120ΩΩ Ω Ω
(network terminating resistors):
–the A2/A3 display,
–the radio.
PURPOSE
–The purpose of the multiplex network test is to determine the computers present on the vehicle's multiplex network
as well as the cause of possible inter-computer communication faults.
–It also serves to determine the functions installed in the vehicle which are often housed in various computers
(distributed functions, e.g.: Air conditioning, Security access, etc.).
–The test also checks the condition of multiplex network segments.
–The multiplex network test can also run fault finding on computers disconnected from the multiplex network; this
provides an overview of the vehicle's electronic layout. Note:
The Vehicle and Multimedia multiplex line networks support fault finding using the RENAULT tool.

MULTIPLEX NETWORK CONFIGURATION
For the
CAN Vehicle network:
The tool displays the UCH and/or Airbag configurations.
The Configuration screen consists of two tabs for displaying and modifying the:
–The first tab, Multiplex network configuration, indicates the multiplex network version and the list of computers
defined as present on the multiplex network.
–The second tab, Configuration of computers which support fault finding, indicates the relevant diagram
number, and the list of computers defined as supporting fault finding with the RENAULT tool.
First repair the computers containing the multiplex network configuration (Airbag and UCH) in order to
display the screen with the multiplex network configuration diagram for the vehicle on which fault finding is
being run.
For the
CAN Multimedia network:
The tool presents the configuration of the A2/A3 display.
The Configuration screen consists of two tabs for displaying and modifying the:
–The first tab, Multiplex network configuration, indicates the multiplex network version and the list of computers
defined as present on the multiplex network.
–The second tab, Configuration of computers which support fault finding, indicates the relevant diagram
number, and the list of computers defined as supporting fault finding with the RENAULT tool.
NOTESThe configuration is entered with the ignition on; apply the forced + after ignition
feed procedure (see Introduction).
It can be run from the multiplex network test results screens.
WARNING: the network version number is 1.
This is the diagram version which changes each time the multiplex network wiring is modified on this vehicle.
