MULTIPLEX INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION - CONTROL/FUNCTION

Self-Diagnostic Function

The MICU provides the self-diagnostic function for checking the communication and input systems.

Communication Check (Test Mode 1):

When the B-CAN BUS or the connection to the gauge control module is disconnected, an error code is shown with the number of blinks of the front individual map light and ceiling light.

Switch Input Check (Test Mode 2):

When the input of a switch or a sensor to the MICU changes, diagnosis of the input system can be performed on the basis of the front individual map light and ceiling light flashing count.

HDS Diagnostics

The HDS connects to the data link connector (DLC) to communicate with the vehicle's control units. This allows the HDS to retrieve DTCs, diagnostic data, and transmit forced commands during output function tests.

MULTIPLEX INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION - FAILSAFE FUNCTION

Hardware Failsafe Control

When a CPU problem or an abnormal power supply voltage is detected, the MICU moves to the hardware failsafe mode, and each system output load is set to the pre-programmed failsafe value.

Software Failsafe Control

When any of the data from the B-CAN circuit cannot be received within a specified time, or an unusual combination of the data is recognized, the MICU moves to the software failsafe mode. The data that cannot be received is forced to a pre-programmed value.
