Module Network Input Messages - ABS Module 

Broadcast Message Originating Module Message Purpose
Accelerator pedal position PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. The ABS module uses accelerator pedal position information for correct operation of the ABS, traction control, ESC and the automatic release feature of the electronic parking brake system.
Adaptive cruise control braking deceleration CCM This message is used to request vehicle deceleration by the ABS module to maintain the distance gap set by the driver for the adaptive cruise control system.
Adaptive cruise control brake torque request CCM This message informs the ABS module of the amount of braking required to maintain the distance gap set by the driver for the adaptive cruise control system.
Adaptive cruise control precharge request CCM This message is used to request precharging of the hydraulic brake system in preparation of a severe braking event.
AWD locking status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. The ABS module uses AWD information for correct operation of the ABS and stability control systems.
Brake on/off switch PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module the driver has pressed the brake pedal. This message is also used by the ABS module to check the brake pressure sensor located inside the HCU.
Brake pedal applied PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module the driver has pressed the brake pedal. This message is also used by the ABS module to check the brake pressure sensor located inside the HCU.
Collision mitigation by braking deceleration CCM This message is used to request vehicle deceleration by the ABS module for the collision avoidance system.
Collision mitigation by braking precharge request CCM This message is used to request precharging of the hydraulic brake system in preparation of a severe braking event.
Door ajar status BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current door ajar status. There is a separate message for each door. The ABS module resets the parameters used for the ESC function when a door is opened. The message is also used for the electronic parking brake automatic release feature.
Driver seat belt buckle RCM This message informs the ABS module of the current driver seat belt buckle status, buckled or unbuckled. The ABS module uses this information for the electric parking brake drive away release feature.
Engine disable status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module the engine is currently disabled or enabled due to the stop-start system.
Engine status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current status of the engine system; off, on, hot or cold.
Gear lever position PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current transmission gear lever position, this is used for the hill start assist system and the ESC system. The hill start assist system operates in forward and reverse gears. The ESC system does not operate when the transmission is in REVERSE. The message is also used for the electronic parking brake automatic release feature.
Hill start assist request IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current, driver selected mode for the hill start assist system; off, auto or manual.
Ignition status BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current ignition status; off, accessory, run, start, unknown or invalid.
Odometer master value IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current odometer mileage.
RCM serial number RCM The ABS module stores the RCM serial number and verifies the serial number when the vehicle is started or the ignition is set to RUN or ACC. Over time, the ABS module learns the offset of the sensors inside the RCM. When a new serial number is found and the IVD Initialization procedure is carried out using a scan tool, the ABS module resets the offset number learned for ESC.
Steering angle sensor data PSCM Several steering angle messages are sent to the ABS module from the PSCM. These messages include steering angle sensor status, steering wheel angle and steering wheel rotation count. The ABS module uses the steering angle sensor data for ESC and RSC system operation.
Steering angle sensor data SASM Several steering angle messages are sent to the ABS module from the SASM. These messages include steering angle sensor status, steering wheel angle and steering wheel rotation count. The ABS module uses the steering angle sensor data for ESC and RSC system operation.
Traction control request IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module the driver has chosen a mode for the traction control feature, ON or OFF.
Trailer sway configuration IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module the driver has chosen a mode for the trailer sway feature, ON or OFF.
Transmission in reverse PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module when the transmission is in REVERSE, this is used for the hill start assist system and the ESC system. The hill start assist system operates in forward and reverse gears. The ESC system does not operate when the transmission is in REVERSE.
Vehicle configuration data BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message provides the ABS module with the current optional and configured items such as tire size, axle ratio, manual or automatic transaxle, keyless entry and VIN.
Vehicle lateral acceleration data RCM This message provides the ABS module with the current vehicle lateral acceleration and deceleration information and whether or not the information is valid.
Vehicle longitudinal acceleration data RCM This message provides the ABS module with the current vehicle longitudinal acceleration information and whether or not the information is valid.
Vehicle roll rate data RCM This message provides the ABS module with the current vehicle roll rate information and whether or not the information is valid.
Vehicle speed PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message provides the ABS module with the current vehicle speed.
Vehicle yaw data RCM This message provides the ABS module with the current vehicle yaw information and whether or not the information is valid.
