Principles of Operation
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The message center electronic functions use both hardwired and controller area network (CAN) circuits to transmit and receive information. It is very
important to understand:
-
where the input (command) originates.
-
all the information (messages) necessary in order for a feature to operate.
-
which module(s) receive(s) the input or command message.
-
does the module which received the input (message) control the output of the feature, or does it output a message over the CAN circuits to another
module?
-
which module controls the output of the feature.
