System Description: Notes

The Multiplex Control System has four internal functions:

• Multiplexing (send multiple signals over shared wires)
• Wake up/sleep (runs at full power only on demand to reduce battery draw)
• Fail-safe (fixes or ignores faulty signals)
• Self-diagnosis (Mode 1 for the system, Mode 2 for input lines)

The system controls the function of these circuits:

• Entry light control
• Wiper/washer (including intermittent wiper)
• Interlock
• Keyless/power door lock
• Key-in reminder
