Pinpoint Test As: Abs Module Communication Concern With FCIM

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

With the ignition ON, the FCIM sends messages to the GWM over the MS-CAN, The GWM relays these messages to the ABS module over the HS-CAN2. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within the allotted time frame or if the messages contain invalid data, the module sets a DTC. This can be due to a FCIM failure, a circuit failure on the network or an excessive load on the network. For information on the messages sent to the ABS module by the FCIM, refer to the Network Message Chart  .
