Electric and Electronic Systems
BODY COMPUTER NODE (NBC)
The Body Computer Node (fitted in the dashboard underbody on the steering wheel side) is composed of an electronic section and a electromechanical section (CPL) which are interconnected and constitute a single set (Dashboard Node). Both the electronic and the electromechanical sections perform interconnecting functions with the system and have fixed connectors for the link to the front, rear and dashboard wiring. The electromechanical section contains the fuses and the remote control switches while the electronic section contains an EOBD fixed connector (J1962-compliant) capable of carrying out diagnoses of the Engine Control Node and the systems not connected on the line B-CAN via the K LINE and diagnoses of the nodes connected to the B-CAN line via this latter. The Body Computer sets up a two-way gateway between the C-CAN/ B-CAN networks. The connectors for the links with the front and rear wiring (and with the EOBD) are accessible from the front (fuses side) while those for the links with the dashboard wiring are located on the opposite side.
