Fast controller Area Network (F-CAN) and Body Controller Area Network (B-CAN) share information between multiple Electronic Control Units (ECUs). B-CAN communication moves at a slower speed for convenience related items, and for other functions. F-Can information moves at a faster speed for "real time" functions such as fuel and emissions data. To allow both systems to share information, the Gauge Control Module translates information from B-CAN to F-CAN and from F-CAN to B-CAN.
The ECUs on the B-CAN and F-CAN transmit and receive information in the form of structured messages that may be received by several different ECUs on the network at one time. These message are transmitted and received across a communication circuit that consists of a single wire that is shared by all the ECUs on the circuit. Since messages on the F-CAN network are typically of higher importance, a second wire is used for communication circuit integrity monitoring. A backup circuit is also added to the headlight and wiper circuits on the B-CAN network in the event of a network wire or ECU failure that would effect the operation of the system.

Messages are transmitted by an ECU (that monitors an input) over the communication circuit. ECUs that use the message (information related to that input) are the receivers. For example, the Combination Switch Control Unit monitors the wiper switch. When the wiper switch is placed in the low speed position, the Combination Switch Control Unit transmits that message on the communication circuit. The Relay Control Module receives the message and turns on the wipers by providing a ground for the relay.
Fig. 4: Combination - Circuit Diagram

Several ECUs are connected to each of the two networks. The Gauge Control Module is part of both networks since it is the "Gateway" between them. Below is a list of ECUs and the network they are connected to.;
B-CAN ECUs
F-CAN ECUs
Fig. 5: Body Controller Area Network (B-Can) And Fast Controller Area Network (F-Can) - Block Diagram

The B-CAN and F-CAN systems send messages to each other to check the integrity of the network communication circuit. They do this by sending a specific digital message out after an event. For example, turning the ignition switch to ON. After the switch to ON, all the ECUs on the communication circuit expect to receive a message from other specific units within a specified amount of time. If the message is not received, the ECU will transmit a DTC reporting that the control units did not communicate.
Normal circuit
Since the door lock switch message was received by all the ECUs expecting to receive a signal, the communication circuit between those units is OK. There are multiple signal sent and received by each ECU during this time to insure that the communication circuit is intact.
Failed circuit
Fig. 6: Door Multiplex Integrated Control Unit (MICU) - Circuit Diagram
Courtesy of AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC.
Since there is a break in the communication circuit, the door lock switch signal could not be received by the gauge control module, multiplex integrated control unit (MICU) or the relay control module. Each of these units will set "loss of communication" error codes for the signal(s) they did not receive. There may be multiple communication DTCs if the unit that has become disconnected from the network would normally transmit multiple messages during the communication line test. For example, the door multiplex control unit sends keyless panic signal and door lock switch signal during the communication circuit test.
There are three DTC types used by the CAN networks.
COMBINATION SWITCH CONTROL UNIT
Internal error DTCs
The ECUs run internal checks. If one finds that there is an internal ECU problem, it will set an internal error DTC. Confirm that the battery and charging system are OK. If so, this indicates that the ECU needs to be replaced.
Loss of communication DTCs
Loss of communication DTCs (and Bus-off DTCs) are set when there is a problem with the communication between ECUs. This could be in the connections, the wiring, or the ECU (as called out in the DTC Troubleshooting).
Signal error DTCs
The ECUs can run diagnostics on some input circuits to determine if that circuits is functioning properly (no opens or shorts). If a circuit falls the diagnostic test, a DTC will set (NOTE: Not all input circuits are tested for errors).
