INTRODUCTION
Description of the multiplex network:
The multiplex network consists of a twisted pair of wires connected to several vehicle computers.
These two wires are called multiplex line H and multiplex line L.
Depending on the vehicle options, there is a single multiplex network.
–the Vehicle multiplex line (injection, anti-lock braking system/electronic stability program, instrument panel, air
conditioning, rev counter, sequential gearbox, UCH, airbag/pretensioners) is always present,
–the Multimedia multiplex line (navigation, radio, display, hands-free telephone) depending on the vehicle options.
Data is exchanged by the computers on the Vehicle multiplex line and Multimedia multiplex line networks at a
communication speed of 500 kbit/s.
The Vehicle multiplex line network has two computers, each with an internal resistance of 120ΩΩ Ω Ω

(network terminating resistors):
–the injection computer,
–the airbag computer.
The Multimedia multiplex line network has two computers, each with an internal resistance of 120ΩΩ Ω Ω

(network terminating resistors):
–the A2/A3 display,
–the radio.
PURPOSE
–The purpose of the multiplex network test is to determine the computers present on the vehicle's multiplex network
as well as the cause of possible inter-computer communication faults.
–It also serves to determine the functions installed in the vehicle which are often housed in various computers
(distributed functions, e.g.: Air conditioning, Security access, etc.).
–The test also checks the condition of multiplex network segments.
–The multiplex network test can also run fault finding on computers disconnected from the multiplex network; this
provides an overview of the vehicle's electronic layout. Note:
The Vehicle and Multimedia multiplex line networks support fault finding using the RENAULT tool.

MULTIPLEXING
Fault finding – Function88B
The multiplex network operates in a very similar way.
1. The transmitting computer formats the signal to be sent into a frame that can be identified by other computers.
2. The transmitting computer waits until the network is free, i.e. no other frames are being sent by another
computer.
3. The computer sends its frame.
4. All the other computers receive the transmitted frame. As the frame has already been formatted by the
transmitting computer, the receiving computer can determine whether the frame was meant for it or not.
5. The receiving computers acknowledge receipt of the frame. The transmitting computer will resend the frame if it
does not receive this acknowledgement.
Transmitting frames
The frames are transmitted on two twisted wires in order to avoid electromagnetic interference. These wires are
called multiplex line H and multiplex line L.
To reduce electrical interference when frames are sent, the two wires have differential voltages. In addition,
terminating resistors of 120 Ω are fitted at the ends of the network (in the airbag and injection computers) to
attenuate electrical signal reflections.
The electric signals are digital which means that there are only two levels of differential voltage known as recessive
state (corresponding to logic 1) and dominant state (corresponding to logic 0).
The status is recessive when the potential difference between multiplex line H and multiplex line L is zero (multiplex
line H = multiplex line L = 2.5 V). The status is dominant when the potential difference between multiplex line H and
multiplex line L is equal to approximately 2 V (multiplex line H = 3.5 V and multiplex line L = 1.5 V).

The tool displays the UCH and/or Airbag configurations.
The Configuration screen consists of two tabs for displaying and modifying the:
–The first tab, Multiplex network configuration, indicates the multiplex network version and the list of computers
defined as present on the multiplex network.
–The second tab, Configuration of computers which support fault finding, indicates the relevant diagram
number, and the list of computers defined as supporting fault finding with the RENAULT tool.
First repair the computers containing the multiplex network configuration (Airbag and UCH) in order to
display the screen with the multiplex network configuration diagram for the vehicle on which fault finding is
being run.
For the
CAN Multimedia network:
The tool presents the configuration of the A2/A3 display.
