Note. The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
Multiplexing is a method of sending 2 or more signals simultaneously over a single circuit. Multiplexing is used to allow 2 or more electronic modules (nodes) to communicate simultaneously over a twisted-wire pair [data (+) and data (-)] network. The information or messages that can be communicated on these wires consists of commands, status or data. The advantage of using multiplexing is to reduce the weight of the vehicle by reducing the number of redundant components and electrical wiring.
The vehicle has 2 module communication networks which are connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC), located under the instrument panel
- High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
- Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN)

MODULE REFERENCE TABLE
Principles of Operation
Both the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) and the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) use an unshielded twisted-pair cable of data (+) and data (-) circuits. The HS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and is designed for applications in which modules must respond as rapidly as required by the driver or needed by the process being controlled. The MS-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 125 Kbps for bus messages and is designed for general information transfer.
Normal Operation
The PCM communicates with the scan tool through the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). Circuits VDB04 (WH/BU) ( HS-CAN +) and VDB05 (WH) ( HS-CAN -) provide the network connection to the PCM. An Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) session cannot be established if the PCM communication fails when attempting to identify the vehicle.
