CAN Electrical Systems Definitions
Definitions
Instrumentation Control Unit (ICU) – 1st generation Instrumentation-only Multiplex
Cab Electronic Control Unit (CECU) – 2nd generation Multiplex, includes systems other than
instrumentation. CECU’s variants relate to vehicle model and the engine emissions standard.
Identifying which CECU in the vehicle helps determine what features are present and also aids
in troubleshooting.
North American MultipleXing (NAMUX) - The CAN electrical architecture used by Kenworth
and Peterbilt Divisions.
Electronic Service Analyst (ESA) - Software Program
needed for all CAN system malfunction code reading and service related
operations. NEXIQ scan tool used with ESA software.
