Infotainment Controller Area Network (I-CAN)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The I-CAN operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 500 Kbps and is designed for real time audio and multimedia information transfer and control.
Modules on the I-CAN communicate using bussed messages. The I-CAN uses an unshielded twisted pair cable, data bus (+) and data bus (-) circuits. The I-CAN allows sharing of information between all modules on the network.
The I-CAN is connected to the DLC, but the I-CAN modules communicate with the scan tool over the MS-CAN. The IPC is used as a gateway for the messages to transfer between the scan tool and the modules on the I-CAN.
