BODY ELECTRICAL
1. System Outline
General
A multiplex communication system establishes serial data communication by connecting the ECUs on
a single communication line in order to exchange multiple pieces of information.
The adoption of a multiplex communication system significantly reduces the number of wiring
harnesses as well as the number of sensors.
The types of multiplex communication systems are the BEAN (Body Electronics Area Network),
which consists primarily of the ECUs that control the body systems, and the AVC-LAN (Audio
Visual Communication - Local Area Network), which consists of the ECUs that control the audio
and visual systems.

Daisy Chain
The ECUs that comprise the BEAN are connected serially to form a ring. This type of connection method
is called a daisy chain.
The ECUs are connected by a communication line, and multiple pieces of information are transmitted
and received by the ECUs by slightly staggering their times.

Communication Frame
The ECUs in the BEAN exchange data in the form of individual clusters called communication frames,
which are configured as described in the diagram below.

2. General
The basic construction and function of the multiplex communication system on the SC430 are the same
as on the LS430.
The BEAN consists of three buses (bus : A single cluster of daisy chain):
a) Door bus
b) Instrument panel bus
c) Steering column bus
The gateway ECU connects the buses, the AVC-LAN, and the DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3), and man-
ages the communication among them.
The communication between the control signals related to the audio and visual systems and the Gateway
ECU is established via the AVC-LAN.
A customized body electronics system has been adopted.
To protect the lighting operations and wiper operations in case the communication is disrupted due to
a malfunction, a backup bus and fail-safe line is provided.
