General Description

The 6 components related with Body Control Module (hereinafter referred to BCM) connect with each other via CAN (Controller Area Network) communication system.
These are BCM. Assist Door Module (ADM), Drive Door Module (DDM), Power Seat Unit (PS), tilt/telescope control unit and Personal Identification Card (PIC).
Wiper Motor Module (WMM) and Multi-Function Switch (M/F) connect with BCM via LIN (Local Interconnect Network). Therefore it is possible to diagnose an overall system with scantool.
* CAN (Cotroller Area Network) : CAN is a serial bus system especially suited for networking "intelligent" devices as well as sensors and actuators within a system or sub-system.
*2 LIN (Local Interconnect Network) : LIN is a new low cost serial communication system intended to be used for distributed electronic systems in vehicles, which complements the existing portfolio of automotive multiplex networks.






DTC Description

This code means that there is a problem in LIN communication line between BCM and M/F (multi function) switch / WMM (wiper motor module). This code is set if BCM message is not transmitted to M/F switch and MM on time. Possible cause is short circuited to ground or battery in LIN communication line. When BCM receives LIN data, it verifies the data by comparing it with feedback data which received from LIN IC receiving line.
