MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

 

2016 – MX-5 – Multiplex Communication System

MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Outline

  • A control area network (CAN) system has been adopted in which the multiple control modules send/receive signals using two common communication lines.

  • Local CAN, ISO communication, or LIN communication has been adopted for the individual communication between control modules in consideration of the communication speed and the cost.

System Wiring Diagram

NOTE:

  • The following figure shows the CAN/LIM communication/ISO communication/local CAN connection conditions. Availability depends on the vehicle specification.

Malfunction diagnosis procedure
  • If a vehicle with a malfunction in a system controlled by a CAN system related module is brought in, verify the repair order form and the malfunctioning symptom first, then perform CAN malfunction diagnosis to determine if the malfunction cause is in the CAN system or not.

  • For CAN malfunction diagnosis, the voltage at the CAN connection terminal on the DLC-2 is measured, and based on the measured value, the CAN circuit can be examined or the malfunction symptom can be determined.

  • If the malfunction symptom is not an open circuit, inspect the voltage or continuity at the CAN circuit and determine the malfunctioning location.

  • If the malfunction symptom is an open circuit, determine the area of the open circuit by using the displayed communication error DTC and the module in which communication has failed.

Ex.) Open circuit location determination procedure

1. Verify the CAN system-related module DTCs and the failed module using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS).

2. As a result of DTC verification, only DTCs related to DSC HU/CM and communication errors are output and the DSC HU/CM is indicated as failed, therefore there could be a malfunction in the DSC HU/CM or in the wiring harness between connector C-26, C-27 and DSC HU/CM.
