4.3.2 Spare Can
A spare CAN network is installed between the
front and the rear of the vehicle. It has
connectors installed at each end to facilitate
swapping from the regular CAN network to the
spare CAN network. Refer to the vehicle wiring
diagram and the section 4.6 for more
information.
4.4 TEST MODE FOR SWITCHES AND
SENSORS
The switch/sensor test mode provides useful
information to diagnose problems
complimentary to the electrical system
diagnosis.
To enter this mode, activate the dashboard
"Telltale Light Test" switch 3 times within 4
seconds. To exit the switch/sensor test mode,
reactivate the test switch 1 time or turn OFF the
ignition.
4.4.1 Information Available And Impact On
The Functions In Switch/Sensor Test Mode
Telltale panel audible alarm emits a beep each
time an OFF/ON transition is detected on a
multiplex input. This allows quick verifying if the
switches and sensors are detected or seen by
the multiplex modules. When the vehicle is
parked, the back-up alarm also emits a sound
that allows verification of the sensors at the rear
of the vehicle.
Certain inputs are doubled (ex. turn signal
switch on multi-function lever, door operating
buttons) and also other inputs activate at the
same time (ex. kneeling switch and Kneeling
proximity sensor switch). For these inputs, 2
beeps are emitted. If only one beep is heard,
one of the inputs is defective.

outside temperature in the telltale panel LCD
display. This feature can be used when the
vehicle is traveling to check the A/C compressor
pressure values, but no beep can be heard.
