Module, Forward Facing Camera (FFCM): Operation

The Forward Facing Camera (FFC) module 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.

Smart Beam Operation - 

The FFC reports on the CAN C bus to the BCM for messages needed for the AHBC functionality. and for further detailed operating parameters of the AHBC system.

• Refer to OPERATION for further description and functionality of the smart beam system.
• Refer to SMART BEAM, OPERATION for further description and functionality of the smart beam system.

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 FFC 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 FFC module to identify visible lane markings and to track lane boundaries. The FFC module 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 hardwired circuits between components related to the FFC module 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 FFC and communication related to the FFC system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
