FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
When communication fails in any of the CAN bus wires (communication wires) due to a short circuit or other causes, the fail-safe function, which is specified for each system, operates to prevent the system from malfunctioning.
The following chart shows the relationships between components, system functions, and effects of communication failure on these functions. (For further details, see the procedures for each system.)
