As more electronic subsystems populated automobiles serial
data networks have been used to minimize wiring and optimize performance. Modern vehicles contain multiple networks: Controller Area Network (CAN), Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST),
FlexRay, and even Ethernet. But the most widely used interface
is the Local Interconnect Network (LIN), which connects a variety of
sensors and actuators. LIN is a simple, flexible,
tolerant, and low cost 1-wire bus.
Most newer vehicles contain at least a dozen LIN nodes. They’re used in applications where data speed isn’t high and many operations are of the off-on type. Common applications include:

- Power door locks
- Power windows
- Power seats
- Power mirrors
- Windshield wipers
- Seat heaters
- Heating and air-conditioning controls
- Interior lights
- Climate controls
- Steering-wheel controls
- Sun roof
- Trunk
