No DTCs detectedAll DTCs have been displayed
DTC detected
(the letter and four digit number on the left
represents the DTC, the right two digit is the
unit code.)
While in Test Mode 1, the DTCs which have been detected and stored individually by various B-CAN (Body-controller
Area Network) units, will be shown one by one on the odometer display when the communication between the MICU
and the gauge control module is normal. To scroll through the DTCs, press the select/reset button.
The unit that has stored the code can be identified by the number shown on the multi-information display.
MICU 10
Gauge control module 50
Climate control unit 51
HandsFreeLink control unit 94
Immobilizer-keyless control unit 96
While in Test Mode 1, press and hold down the SELECT/RESET button for more than 10 seconds.

When an ECU on the CAN circuit is unable to communicate with other ECUs on the CAN circuit, one or more of the
control units will set a loss of communications DTC. Use this chart to find the control unit that is not communicating.
1. Find the Transmitting Control Unit that is in the same row as all of the loss of communication DTCs retrieved.
2. Do the input test for the transmitting control unit.

The body controller area network (B-CAN) and the fast controller area network (F-CAN) share information between
multiple electronic control units (ECUs). B-CAN communication moves at a slower speed (33.33 kbps) for convenience
related items and for other functions. F-CAN information moves at a faster speed (500 kbps) for ‘‘real time’’ functions
such as fuel and emissions data. To allow both systems to share information, the gauge control module translates
information from B-CAN to F-CAN and from F-CAN to B-CAN.
 The single wire method is used between the units not requiring the communication to move at a fast speed.
 Using a single wire method reduces the number of the wires used on the body controller area network.

MICU Control Functions Index
SystemFunction
22-82Multiplex Integrated Control System
System Description (cont’d)
The MICU (built into the under-dash fuse/relay box) is one of the B-CAN components. The MICU controls many
systems related to the body controller area and security system, and also works as a gateway to the diagnose the
other B-CAN connected ECUs with the HDS.
Refer to the each system circuit diagram in detail.
Multiplex Control Sends the switch input signal information to the MICU and outputs the information. The MICU controls the ECUs electric load and communication based upon the information
received the B-CAN.
On-Board Diagnosis The MICU has a gateway function which sends the results of the MICU internal diagnosis and the B-CAN connected ECUs diagnosis to the HDS.
Self-Diagnosis Test mode 1 diagnoses the communication line between the MICU and B-CAN connected unit. Test mode 2 checks the switch inputs connected to the MICU.
Interior Light(s) The MICU controls the interior lights ON, OFF and dimming based upon the information of the related switches and/or the B-CAN related information.
Sleep Function The MICU has a sleep function, which it enters during the power down mode.
The MICU also controls the function of these circuits:  Entry lights control (map lights and ceiling light)
 Exterior lights control (including the daytime running lights control)

By connecting the HDS to the data link connector (DLC), the HDS can retrieve the diagnostic results from the MICU via
a diagnostic line called K-LINE. The K-LINE is distinguished from the CAN line, and connected to the CAN related ECUs.
The MICU is a gateway between the HDS and B-CAN related ECUs, and sends B-CAN diagnostic results to the HDS.
When doing a function test with the HDS, the HDS sends an output signal through the K-LINE to the MICU. The MICU
either relays the request to another ECU, or commands the function its self.

Wake-up and Sleep Function

Hardware Fail-safe Control
Software Fail-safe Control
Fail-safe function
22-84Multiplex Integrated Control System
System Description (cont’d)
The multiplex integrated control system has wake-up and sleep functions to decrease parasitic draw on the battery
when the ignition switch in LOCK (0).
 In the sleep mode, the MICU stops functioning (communication and CPU control) when it is not necessary for the system to operate.
 As soon as any operation is requested (for example, a door is unlocked), the related control unit in the sleep mode
immediately wakes up and begins to function.
 When the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), and the driver’s door is opened, then closed, there is a delay of about 40 seconds before the control unit goes from the wake-up mode to the sleep mode.
 The sleep mode will not function if any door is opened or if a key is in the ignition.
 The draw is reduced from 200 mA to less than 35 mA when in the sleep mode.
NOTE: Sleep and Wake-up Mode Test (see page 22-99).
To prevent improper operation, the MICU has a fail-safe function. In the fail-safe mode, the output signal is fixed when
any part of the system malfunctions (for example, a faulty control unit or communication line).
Each control unit has a hardware fail-safe function that fixes the output signal when there is a CPU malfunction, and a
software fail-safe function that ignores the signal from a malfunctioning control unit , which allows the system to
operate normally.
When a CPU problem or a abnormal power supply voltage is detected, the MICU moves to the hardware fail-safe
mode, and each system output load is set to the pre-programmed fail-safe value.
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 fail-safe mode. The data that cannot be received is forced to a
pre-programmed value.
