Gateway Modules

The GWM is mounted under the driver side instrument panel. The GWM acts as a central gateway to translate messages for all 4 vehicle CAN networks, and vice versa. It acts as a gateway for messages on the HEV HS-CAN to the other 3 networks.

The IPC and BCM are also gateway modules. The IPC translates messages on the MS-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 applicable networks.

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