Electrical Systems Operation & Diagnosis Module (602)
Local Interconnect Network (LIN)
A Local Interconnect Network (LIN) connection is utilized on some models where control and
confirmation of operation of a device is required. The LIN is a circuit that uses the body ground
and one wire from a controller to a device. The operational speed is much slower than CAN (up
to 20 kbits/s).
LIN
An example of a LIN circuit is the wire from the Keyless Access and Push Button Start Control
Module to the Steering Lock Control Module. The Electronic Steering Lock operates to lock or
unlock the Steering Column from commands issued from the Keyless Access and Push Button
Start control module. The Steering Lock control module sends a signal back to the Keyless Access
and Push Button Start control module to confirm the operation is complete.
