International Multiplexed
Electrical System
• Referred to as the Diamond Logic
electrical system
• Between 2001-2006 body control modules
were referred to as electrical system
controller (ESC)
• In 2007 the name was changed to the
body controller

Tech Tip
Think of the J1939 data link as both being
an input and an output device for most
electronic devices. The messages
received by a module are inputs; the
messages sent by a module are the
outputs.

Body Controller Outputs
• The body controller has three main
types of outputs:
– High side drivers
– Low side drivers
– Messages transmitted on the J1939 data link
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
High Side Driver
• Capable of sourcing high levels of current
• The high side drivers used in body
controllers are power MOSFETs (FETs)
• Some FETs are capable of sourcing 20A
continuously
• Smart FETs can monitor the amount of
current that the FET is conduction

Current Feedback For Virtual Fusing
Figure 13-6 The high side driver measures the current being
conducted and feeds back this information to the microprocessor
as a proportional voltage.

Low Side Drivers

•
Current ratings of 1A or less
Commonly used in body controllers
Low side drivers sink a path to ground
Typically used to energize relay coils or
small solenoids
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Body Controller Inputs
• There are three main types of inputs
to the body controller:
– Hardwired inputs from switches and sensors
– Messages received from a proprietary switch
data link
– Messages received from the J1939 data link
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Hardwired Inputs
• Conventional switch to control electrical
devices
• Reference ground is a single ground that
all sensors and switches share
• Reference ground is connected to chassis
ground but in one location usually inside
the electronic module
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Common Reference Ground
Located in Body Controller
Figure 13-7 The common reference ground point inside of body controller is
connected to chassis ground at only one location.
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
CAUTION
It is vital that any electronic system that uses
a reference ground only be grounded in
accordance with OEM recommendations.
Even though reference ground may appear to
be the same as chassis ground, connecting
the reference ground to chassis ground
outside the electronic module may result in
the truck having intermittent EMI induced
problems that are nearly impossible to
duplicate or troubleshoot.

Switch Packs
• International trucks with body controllers
use switch packs using J1708/J1578
specification data link
• This proprietary link is not the same as the
J1708/J1587 data link connected to the
power train or ECM modules
• Switch packs are rockers that require
switch actuators installed in them

Switch Actuators Removed

Tech Tip
Think of high side drivers as being like
conventional relays. A small signal
provided by the microprocessor is used to
control a large amount of current.

Truck With Body Controller

switches are inputs; four high side drivers are outputs.

Tech Tip
The body controller only powers the
applicable trailer light relay control circuit.
The body controller does not directly
supply the current to the trailer lighting. A
conventional CPD such as a fuse or a
circuit breaker in the PDC is used to
protect the trailer wiring, not virtual fusing.

Tech Tip
An open windshield wiper switch connection
on an International truck with a body
controller causes the wiper to operate at high
speeds at any time the key switch is in the
ignition position. Additionally, a short to
ground of the windshield washer pump
control circuit will cause the windshield
wipers to operate at low speed any time the
key switch is in the ignition position because
the controller is falsely detecting that the
washer switch is depressed.

Freightliner Multiplexed Electrical System
• Freightliner refers to their multiplexed
electrical system as SmartPlex™
• The bulkhead module (BHM) acts as the
primary command module for body and
chassis electrical systems.
• The chassis module (CHM) is the other
standard electronic module
• The CHM is a slave or dependent that
receives commands from the BHM

Summary
• The body control module on International
High Performance Vehicles is called the
electrical system controller (ESC) on
model year 2001-2006 trucks and the
body controller on 2007 and later year
trucks. The body controller or ESC
contains a microprocessor. The body
controller or ESC uses information
obtained from input sources to control the
outputs.
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Summary(continued)
• Outputs of the body controller include high side
drivers, low side drivers, and messages on the
J1939 data link.
• Input sources for the body controller include
messages from the J1939 data link, messages
from the switch link, and hardwired inputs such as
switches and sensors.
• A reference ground scheme is commonly used in
automotive electronics to minimize the effects of
electromagnetic interference and to improve
measurement accuracy for sensor circuits.
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Summary(continued)
• A diagnosable switch is a special switch
that provides specific values of resistance,
unlike a conventional switch, which is
either an open circuit or a near 0Ω. A
diagnosable switch is connected to an
analog input. This permits circuit failures
such as an open circuit or a shorted-toground circuit to be diagnosed.
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Summary(continued)
• The body controller controls several electrical
system features, including headlamps, turn
signals, stop lamps, and windshield wipers.
The various switches act as inputs to the
body controller through either hardwiring or
multiplexing. The body controller
microprocessor makes decisions based on its
programming and provides an output in the
form of energizing a high side driver,
energizing low side driver, or transmitting a
data link message.
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Summary(continued)
• Self-diagnostics assists in troubleshooting the
body controller. Diagnostic trouble codes may
be logged to indicate a circuit that is out of
range high or out of range low.
• The Freightliner SmartPlexTM system uses
two or more separate modules to control
body electrical features. The bulkhead
module (BHM) controls the chassis module
(CHM) via the J1939 data link.
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Summary(continued)
• The Freightliner SmartPlexTM uses optional
smart switches to control electrical system
features. Each smart switch contains two
identification resistors that uniquely define the
switch function.
• The instrument cluster in the Freightliner
SmartPlexTM system is called the ICU. The
ICU acts as the input device for the stalk
mounted multifunction switch. The ICU
transmits the status of the multifunction
switch inputs on the J1939 data link.
Copyright © 2014 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Summary(continued)
• Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are used
to indicate that an electrical module has
detected and abnormal condition. DTCs
may indicate a sensor in-range operating
condition, such as engine coolant
temperature is too high. DTCs may also
indicate sensor out of range conditions,
such as open circuits or shorts to grounds.
A J1939 DTC consists of an SPN and FMI.

Summary(continued)
• Ghost voltage describes an open circuit
measurement of a voltage by a DMM in a
circuit with high resistance. Ghost voltage
can result in misdiagnosis.
