MICU Control Functions Index

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 network, and also works as a gateway to diagnose the other B-CAN circuits with the HDS.

Refer to each system circuit diagram for details.

MICU CONTROL FUNCTIONS INDEX

System Function
Multiplex Control Sends the switch input/output signal information to the MICU. The MICU controls the ECUs electric load and communication based upon the information received via 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:
