Ford Fiesta: Module Communications Network / Communications Network - Overview. Description and Operation
Overview
Multiplexing
is a method of sending 2 or more signals simultaneously over a single
circuit. Multiplexing allows 2 or more electronic modules (nodes) to
communicate 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 connected to the DLC
, located under the instrument panel. The communication networks are:
-
High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN)
-
Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN)

Preliminary Inspection
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test on a
smooth road. If any vibrations are apparent, Refer to the Symptom
Chart: NVH.
To maximize tire performance, inspect for signs of incorrect
inflation and uneven wear, which may indicate a need for balancing,
rotation or front suspension alignment.
Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an
important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering, excessively rapid
acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
