Serial communication

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