Multiplexing Implementation

2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid, AWDSECTION Multiplexing Implementation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The multiplexing can be implemented by using a communication language protocol such as controller area network (CAN). Vehicle network protocols such as CAN allow module-to-module communication to become possible. This communication allows several modules to share information within the vehicle network. The hybrid vehicle uses a high-speed CAN protocol for its powertrain communication. For more information about the entire communication network, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
