CAN CommunicationNKS004CI
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tric control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN COMMUNICATION UNIT

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
REAR TEMPERATURE CONTROL SWITCH

Increases or decreases the set temperature.

A temperature for the rear seat with respect to a set temperature for the front seat can be adjusted by
operating switch.

Rear temperature control switch allows to select a temperature every 0.5°C (1°F) in the 18°C (60°F) to
32°C (90°F) range.

When the DUAL switch is ON, temperature for the rear seat changes keeping the temperature difference
between two front seats. [e.g. When lowering the set temperature for the rear seat 1°C (2°F) by operating
rear control switch at a set temperature of 25°C (77°F) for the driver’s seat and 26°C (79°F) for the pas-
senger’s seat, the set temperature for the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat lower 1°C (2°F) and become
24°C (75°F) for the driver’s seat and 25°C (77°F) for the passenger’s seat.]
NOTE:
A set temperature for the rear seat is tied to a set temperature for the passenger’s seat. Therefore, a set
temperature for the rear seat changes in conjunction with a set temperature for the passenger’s seat
(When the set temperature of front seats are independent).
Fail-Safe FunctionNJS000G9

If a communication error exists between the unified meter and A/C amp.,and the AV control unit or NAVI
control unit and multifunction switch for 30 seconds or longer, air conditioner is controlled under the follow-
ing conditions:
Compressor : ON
Air outlet : AUTO
Air inlet : FRE (Fresh)
Blower fan speed : AUTO
Set temperature : Setting before communication error occurs

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Unified Meter and A/C Amp. (Automatic Amplifier)
The unified meter and A/C amp. has a built-in microcomputer which
processes information sent from various sensors needed for air con-
ditioner operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, upper
ventilator door motor, intake door motor, blower motor and compres-
sor are then controlled.
When the various switches and temperature control switch are oper-
ated, data is input to the unified meter and A/C amp. from the AV
control unit / NAVI control unit using CAN communication.
Self-diagnosis functions are also built into unified meter and A/C
amp. to provide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air condi-
tioner system.
Potentio Temperature Control (PTC)
The PTC is built into the multifunction switch. It can be set at an
interval of 0.5°C (1.0°F) in the 18°C (60°F) to 32°C (90°F) tempera-
ture range by pressing temperature control switch. The set tempera-
ture is displayed.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System FunctionsNKS00489
Here is an example of functions. For details, refer to the owner's manual or navigation system owner's manual.
AUDIO
Speed Sensitive Volume (for BASE System)

Volume level of this system gone up and down automatically in proportion to the vehicle speed. And the
control level can be selected by the customer.

The audio unit inputs the vehicle signal that is sent from unified meter and A/C amp via CAN communica-
tion through AV (NAVI) control unit.
Precision Phased Audio (for BASE System)

It plays back the sound using the woofer (ultra-low bass and clear midrange sound) and reproduces the
sound with presence.

When the conventional BASS/TREBLE adjustment is a maximum, the sounds might be unclear because
the volume of midrange sound also rises together with the bass and treble. The precision phased audio
can emphasize ultra-low bass and ultra-high treble without changing the midrange sound by digital pro-
cessing using DSP.
NOTE:
When the radio is played, the noise may increase more than the presence due to the characteristics of
broadcasting waves. Therefore, the amplification rate while playing the radio is controlled lower than the
rate while playing CD.
AudioPilot® (for BOSE System)
AudioPilot® is the sound improving system that picks up any noises and the sound of music coming into the
vehicle by a microphone under the steering, and that the BOSE amp revises the frequency feature of music at
real time in response to the frequency feature of the noise while driving and listening to music.

If low frequency area noise from vehicle is loud, it adjusts low frequency element of music to be bigger
than vehicle noise.

If high frequency area noise from vehicle is loud, it adjusts all frequency element of music to be bigger
than vehicle noise.
Centerpoint® (for BOSE Surround 5.1ch System)
CD and 2.0ch DVD stereo sound played at audio unit and DVD player are subjected to signal processing in
BOSE amp. It can play the surround sound with presence.
VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM

The status of audio, climate control system, fuel consumption, and navigation system (if equipped) are
displayed.

AV (NAVI) control unit receives the data signal from ECM, unified meter and A/C amp and low tire pres-
sure warning control unit via CAN communication. It calculates the values of fuel economy, tire pressure,
and trip computer from the received information and displays them.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Location Detection Principle
The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals:

Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle
speed sensor

Turning angle of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope
(angular velocity sensor)

Direction of vehicle travel as determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the map DVD-
ROM, which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and

The navigation system periodically calculates the vehicle's current
position according to the following three signals:

Travel distance of the vehicle as determined by the vehicle
speed sensor

Turning angle of the vehicle as determined by the gyroscope
(angular velocity sensor)

Direction of vehicle travel as determined by the GPS antenna
(GPS information)
The current position of the vehicle is then identified by comparing the
calculated vehicle position with map data read from the map DVD-
ROM, which is stored in the DVD-ROM drive (map-matching), and
indicated on the screen as a vehicle mark. More accurate data is judged and used by comparing vehicle posi-
tion detection results found by the GPS with the result by map-matching.
The current vehicle position will be calculated by detecting the dis-
tance the vehicle moved from the previous calculation point and its
direction.

Travel distance
Travel distance calculations are based on the vehicle speed
sensor input signal. Therefore, the calculation may become
incorrect as the tires wear down. To prevent this, an automatic
distance correction function has been adopted.

Travel direction
Change in the travel direction of the vehicle is calculated by a
gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) and a GPS antenna (GPS
information). They have both advantages and disadvantages.
