A controller area network (CAN) system has been adopted in which multiplex communication is performed using a single communication path.
A high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN) has been adopted for the communication between the following modules:
PCM
DSC HU/CM
TCM (ATX vehicles)
Front body control module (FBCM)
AFS control module (with AFS system)
AWD control module (AWD vehicles)
Start stop unit
EPS control module
SAS control module
Instrument cluster
A mid-speed controller area network (MS-CAN) has been adopted for the communication between the following modules:
Rear body control module (RBCM)
BSM control module (LH) (with BSM system)
BSM control module (RH) (with BSM system)
SIRIUS satellite radio unit (with SIRIUS satellite radio system)
Climate control unit (with full-auto air conditioner)
Clock (with manual air conditioner)
Audio unit (with audio unit (color LCD))

Automatic Transaxle Warning Light [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose/Function
The automatic transaxle warning light illuminates when the transaxle has
malfunction.
Construction
The automatic transaxle warning light is built into the instrument cluster.
Operation
If the transmission has a malfunction, the TCM sends an ...
Solar Radiation Sensor [Full Auto Air Conditioner]
Purpose
The solar radiation sensor detects the sunlight intensity emitted to the
cabin.
Function
The solar radiation sensor converts the detected solar radiation amount to
an electric signal.
Construction
A photodiode (light receiving diode) has been adopted fo ...
Differential [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose/Function
The differential absorbs the difference in the rotation speed between the
left and right driving wheels so that the vehicle drives smoothly when differences
occur due to cornering or driving on rough roads.
Construction
The differential consists of the ring ...
