Abstract
A multiplexing apparatus multiplexes between processing units and a battery unit of a vehicle which are connected to one another by wire harnesses, by grouping a variety of on-board controlled objects into a plurality of neighboring controlled objects and controlling each of respective processing units. The wire harness has electric conductors of which the outer peripheral portion are covered with a first insulating layer, an electric conductivity layer which covers the electric conductors, a second insulating the peripheral portion of the electric layer which covers conductivity layer, a circuit for applying an electric potential to the electric conductivity layer, and a monitor for the electric potential of the electric conductivity layer.
