Serial communication

•  Serial communication (two-way communication) allows for multiple data to be sent and received instantly along the same line.
•  By connecting the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) to the DLC-2, diagnostic data can be sent and received between the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) and the EPS CM via CAN lines.
•  The EPS CM receives the command signals of the malfunction detection function and PID/data monitor function from the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS), and sends DTCs and data regarding the operating status of each input/output part to the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS).
