The level of simplification of a wiring harness is estimated when multiplex communication technology is introduced to body electrical/electronics controls in a whole vehicle. The authors study six car models with different arrangements of wiring harnesses. The multiplex communication system consists of three types of multiplex communication unit. Units for power distribution are located at both the cowl sides and the trunk, units for load control are located in each of the four doors, and units for signal input are located near the driver. The multiplex communication function is added to the instrument meter. The estimation result shows that wire-piece quantity, wire length and harness weight, all of which give an estimation of the volume and complexity of harness, are reduced by 15-30%. The results of this study are verified to be correct by the experimental system.
