6) Control Area Network (CAN) communication

The information transmission between each control unit has been ensured via the CAN
communication.

7) Diagnosis function
CVT-ECU is equipped with the diagnostic function to monitor the input signals from each
sensor and output signals from the actuators. If abnormality occurs in the signal system, the
diagnostic function memorizes the abnormal symptoms and outputs a diagnosis code via
MUT-III.

8) Fail-safe function

If abnormality occurs in signals from various sensors, switches, or solenoids, this function
allows controlling them with the minimum adverse effect to the driving performance.

self-diagnostic function, and illuminates the warning lamp on the combination meter when a trou
ble occurs. At the same time, it sends diagnosis code(s) to the diagnosis connector.
7) CAN communication
The EPS-ECU communicates with the other ECUs and other units through CAN communication
to control the steering system.
