Gateway Module
The GWM is located behind the driver side knee bolster trim panel, to the right of the steering column. A DLC is fitted to the GWM. For diagnostic scan tool access, a remote DLC is mounted under the driver side instrument panel, with a harness connecting to the DLC at the GWM.
The GWM acts as a central gateway to translate messages across all 4 vehicle controller area networks (CANs), and vice versa. The GWM is the only module on this vehicle with this ability.
The 2 module communication networks connected directly to the DLC are HS-CAN1 and HS-CAN2. These 2 networks communicate directly with the diagnostic scan tool. The other 2 communication networks, HS-CAN3 and MS-CAN, communicate on the network, but do not communicate directly with the diagnostic scan tool. The GWM translates the messages from these 2 networks to the HS-CAN2, which transfers the signals to the diagnostic scan tool.
