Pinpoint Test Cl: Abs Module Communication Concern With APIM

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

With the ignition ON, the APIM sends messages to the ABS module over the HS-CAN3 through the GWM. 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 an APIM 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 APIM, refer to Network Message Chart  in the service information.

When a drive mode is selected through the FCDIM, a message is sent to the APIM indicating the selected drive mode. The APIM sends a message out to other modules along the HS-CAN3 through the GWM indicating a specific drive mode has been selected. The other modules modify their operating parameters according to the drive mode selected.

ABS P05D3:86 Driver Mode Select Switch "A" Range/Performance: Signal Invalid This DTC sets when the drive mode message from the APIM indicates an invalid signal.
