Gateway Modules

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.
