Gateway Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Econoline, 2007 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The instrument cluster is the gateway module, translating HS-CAN to MS-CAN and vice versa. This information allows a message to be distributed throughout both networks. The instrument cluster is the only module on this vehicle that has this ability.
