ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
APPROACH
Vehicle system
o
Electrical
Considering the electronic control unit (ECU) of the system as the control
element, and looking at its inputs and outputs, is the recommended
approach.

The feedback loop is due the fact that the output from the
system, i.e., temperature is also an input to the system.
Copper, beside its very low resistivity of about 1.7 x10 -8m,
has ideal properties such as ductility and malleability.

If an overload of current occurs then the fuse will melt and disconnect the
circuit before any serious damage is caused.

One of them is able to carry all the signals in the system at the same
time. The other is the electrical cable, which carries the necessary
power.
These cables run around the entire car and are known as the databus.
All the small network modules are able to recognize their signal for
action and do as they are told.
ADVANTAGES OF
SMART WIRING SYSTEM
The benefits of the multiplex system are considerable:
Improved reliability.
The system also has the benefit of self-diagnosis for all functions.
Diagnosis is easier, as is servicing. Any information about a fault or
malfunction is passed on to the driver by indicator lamps and a message
display in the instrument cluster.
