Note. Check the powertrain control module (PCM) for DTCs and troubleshoot PCM (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ) or F-CAN loss of communication errors first.
You can easily check the F-CAN and B-CAN connection status and DTCs by using one of the following methods
- The HDS (Preferred method) can check the F-CAN and B-CAN communication status, read and clear DTCs, display the data list, and perform function tests. Go to B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A to check "Connected units" and DTCs (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/communication-devices/#multiplex-integrated-control-system__troubleshooting-b-can-system-diagnosis-test) ).
- The AcuraLink Self-diagnostic Procedure can check communication status, and read and clear DTCs (see «SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/entertainment-systems/#acuralink__self-diagnostic-function) ).
- The Gauge control module self-diagnosis function can check the F-CAN and B-CAN communication status (see «SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/gauges-instrument-panels/#gauges__self-diagnostic-function) ).
- The MID (multi-information display) can read and clear DTCs (see «GAUGE CONTROL MODULE DTC DISPLAY»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/communication-devices/#multiplex-integrated-control-system) ).
- B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode 1 and Test Mode 2 can check communication status and test some switch circuits (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE 1 AND TEST MODE 2 (WITHOUT THE HDS)»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/communication-devices/#multiplex-integrated-control-system__troubleshooting-b-can-system-diagnosis-test) ).
Using the HDS (Preferred method)
- Go to B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A to check for "Connected units" and DTCs (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/communication-devices/#multiplex-integrated-control-system__troubleshooting-b-can-system-diagnosis-test) ).
- If no DTCs are retrieved, go to «B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE C»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/communication-devices/#multiplex-integrated-control-system__troubleshooting-b-can-system-diagnosis-test) or D (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE D»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/communication-devices/#multiplex-integrated-control-system__troubleshooting-b-can-system-diagnosis-test) ).
- Check for communication circuit problems using B-CAN System Diagnostic Test (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/communication-devices/#multiplex-integrated-control-system__troubleshooting-b-can-system-diagnosis-test) ).
- Check for DTCs.
- Sort, and then troubleshoot the DTCs in this order: Battery voltage DTCs Internal error DTCs Loss of communication DTCs (beginning with the lowest number first; for example, if B1008 and B1011 are retrieved, troubleshoot B1008 first). Refer to «LOSS OF COMMUNICATION CROSS REFERENCE CHART»(/acura/rl/ii-2004-2008/remont/communication-devices/#multiplex-integrated-control-system__loss-of-communication-dtc-cross-reference-chart) . Signal error DTCs
- If no DTCs are retrieved, use B-CAN System Diagnostic Test Mode 2 to check all inputs related to the failure (see step 11 ).

DRIVER'S MPCS UNIT - DTC TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
Body Controller Area Network (B-CAN) and Fast Controller Area Network (F-CAN)
The fast controller area network (F-CAN) and the body controller area network (B-CAN) share information between multiple electronic control units (ECUs). B-CAN communication moves at a slower speed for convenience related items and for other functions. F-CAN information moves at a faster speed for "real time" functions such as fuel and emissions data. To allow both systems to share information, the gauge control module translates information from the B-CAN to the F-CAN and from the F-CAN to the B-CAN.
The ECUs on the B-CAN and the F-CAN transmit and receive information in the form of structured messages that may be received by several different ECUs on the network at one time. These messages are transmitted and received across a communication circuit that consists of a single wire that is shared by all the ECUs on the circuit. Since messages on the F-CAN are typically of higher importance, a second wire is used for communication circuit integrity monitoring. A backup circuit is also added to the headlight and wiper circuits on the B-CAN in the event of a network wire or ECU failure that would effect the operation of the system.
Scheme 3
Messages are transmitted by an ECU (that monitors an input) over the communication circuit. ECUs that use the message (information related to that input) are the receivers. For example, the combination switch control unit monitors the wiper switch. When the wiper switch is placed in the low speed position, the combination switch control unit transmits that message on the communication circuit. The relay control module receives the message and turns on the wipers by providing a ground for the relay.
Scheme 4
Connected ECUs
Several ECUs are connected to each of the two networks. The gauge control module is part of both networks since it is the "gateway" between them. Here is a list of ECUs and the network they are connected to.

Network "Loss of Communication" Error Checking
The B-CAN and the F-CAN send messages to each other to check the integrity of the network communication circuit. They do this by sending a specific digital message out after an event. For example, after turning the ignition switch to ON (II), all the ECUs on the communication circuit expect to receive a message from other specific units within a specified amount of time. If the message is not received, the ECU will transmit a DTC reporting that it did not receive the message.
Examples of a communication circuit test
Normal circuit
Scheme 6
- Ignition switch is turned ON (II).
- The driver's MPCS unit transmits a door lock switch message.
- The MICU, relay control module, gauge control module, keyless access control unit and OnStar control unit* (if applicable) receive the door lock switch message. *: '05-06 models
- The communication circuit test is passed. Since the door lock switch message was received by all the ECUs expecting to receive a message, the communication circuit between those units is OK. There are multiple messages sent and received by each ECU during this time to insure that the communication circuit is intact. Failed circuit
- Ignition switch is turned ON (II).
- The driver's MPCS unit transmits a door lock switch message.
- The MICU, relay control module, gauge control module, keyless access control unit and OnStar control unit* (if applicable) expect to receive the door lock switch message, but since there is a break in the communication circuits, it is not received. *: '05-06 models
- Each ECU that expects to receive the door lock switch message from the driver's MPCS unit will transmit DTCs for the message that it did not receive. Since there is a break in the communication circuit, the door lock switch message could not be received by the MICU, the relay control module, the gauge control module, the keyless access control unit, or the OnStar control unit* (if applicable). Each of these units will set "loss of communication" error codes for the message(s) they did not receive. There maybe multiple communication DTCs if the unit that has become disconnected from the network would normally transmit multiple messages during the communication line test. For example, the driver's MPCS unit sends the door switch message and door lock switch message during the communication circuit test. *: '05-06 models
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
There are three types of DTCs used by the CAN networks.
| Internal error DTCs | The ECUs run internal checks. If one finds that there is an internal ECU problem, it will set an internal error DTC. Confirm that the battery and charging system are OK. If so, this indicates that the ECU needs to be replaced. |
|---|---|
| Loss of communication DTCs | Loss of communication DTCs (and Bus-off DTCs) are set when there is a problem with the communication between ECUs. This could be in the connections, the wiring, or the ECU (as called out in the DTC Troubleshooting). |
| Signal error DTCs | The ECUs can run diagnostics on some input circuits to determine if those circuits are functioning properly (no opens or shorts). If a circuit fails the diagnostic test, a DTC will set. (NOTE: Not all input circuits are tested for errors.) |
