Module, Forward Facing Camera (FFCM): Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Dodge Charger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Forward Facing Camera Module (FFCM) is powered by a fused battery feed from the Power Distribution Center (PDC) so that it is only active when ignition is set to the run position.

Auto High Beam Control - The FFC module reports on the Controller Area Network - Chassis (CAN-C) bus to the Body Control Module (BCM) for messages needed for the Automatic High Beam Control (AHBC) functionality, and for further detailed operating parameters of the AHBC system. for further description and functionality of the AHBC system. Refer to OPERATION .

Adaptive Cruise Control Plus and Forward Collision Warning Plus (ACC+/FCW+) - The FFC reports to the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) module to create the enhanced ACC+ as well as the FCW+ operation. These components share a private CAN-C bus where data from the FFCM is sent to the ACC module for data fusion. for further description and functionality of the FCW+ system. Refer to DESCRIPTION . for further ACC+ operation information. Refer to DESCRIPTION .

Lane Departure Warning Plus (LDW+) - The LDW+ feature uses the FFCM to identify visible lane markings and to track lane boundaries. The FFCM requests haptic responses from the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system when required. for further description and functionality of the LDW+ system. Refer to DESCRIPTION .

The hard wired circuits between components related to the FFCM system may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the FFC system or the electronic controls and communication between the ECU and other devices that provide some features of this system. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the FFCM and communication related to the FFC system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
