Gateway Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Fiesta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The IPC acts as a gateway to translate messages for the HS-CAN, MS-CAN and the I-CAN. This allows messages to be distributed throughout the 3 communication networks. Modules on the I-CAN do not communicate directly with the DLC so the IPC acts as a gateway for diagnostic communication on the HS-CAN to the I-CAN modules.
