Gateway Modules

The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) and Body Control Module (BCM) are gateway modules. The IPC  translates messages on the HS-CAN  to the I-CAN  and vice versa. The BCM translates messages on the HS-CAN  to the MS-CAN  and vice versa. This allows a message to be distributed throughout all three networks.

The IPC  and the BCM  are the only modules on this vehicle that have this ability.
