Adaptive cruise control precharge request IPMA This message is used to request precharging of the hydraulic brake system in preparation of a adaptive cruise control braking event.
AWD locking status TCCM Informs the ABS module of the current differential locked status; no fault, unspecified fault, differential failed open and differential failed closed. The ABS module requests differential unlocking during stability control operations.
AWD locking torque TCCM Informs the ABS module of the current amount of torque being applied to the differential. The ABS module requests differential unlocking during stability control operations.
AWD range TCCM Informs the ABS module of the current 4WD range. The ABS module modifies the selectable drive mode operating parameters based on the current 4WD range.
AWD service required TCCM Informs the ABS module of the current 4WD system operating status. The ABS module modifies the selectable drive mode operating parameters based on the current 4WD status.
Ambient air temperature PCM Informs the ABS module of the current ambient air temperature. The ABS module uses this information for system diagnostics and DTC setting conditions.
Auto hold request APIM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Informs the ABS module the driver has activated or deactivated the auto hold feature.
Brake pedal applied PCM Informs the ABS module the driver has pressed the brake pedal. This message is also used by the ABS module for self-diagnostic purposes.
Braking request IPMA This message is an adaptive cruise control braking request from the IPMA.
Collision mitigation by braking deceleration IPMA This message is used to request vehicle deceleration by the ABS module for the collision avoidance system.
Collision mitigation by braking precharge request IPMA This message is used to request precharging of the hydraulic brake system in preparation of a severe braking event.
Cruise control status PCM Informs the ABS module of the current cruise control system status; off, denied, standby denied, standby active que assist, active or undefined.
Differential locking status TCCM Informs the ABS module of the current front and rear differential locking status. The ABS module modifies the selectable drive mode operating parameters based on the current differential locking status.
Driven wheel direction PCM Provides the ABS module with the current direction of the driven wheels. This information is used for stability control purposes.
Driven wheel torque PCM Provides the ABS module with the current torque output at the driven wheels. This information is used for stability control purposes.
Driver seatbelt buckle status RCM Informs the ABS module of the current driver seatbelt buckle status. The message is used for the EPB automatic release feature.
Engine disable status PCM Informs the ABS module the engine is currently disabled or enabled due to the stop-start system.
Engine RPM PCM Provides the ABS module with the current engine RPM. This information is used for traction control and stability control purposes.
Gear lever position PCM Provides the ABS module with the current transmission gear lever position, this is used for the hill start assist system, the ESC and the RSC systems. The hill start assist system operates in forward and reverse gears. The ESC and RSC systems do not operate when the transmission is in REVERSE. The message is also used for the electronic parking brake automatic release feature.
Hill descent control request IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Provides the ABS module with the current, driver selected mode for the hill descent control system; off or on.
Ignition key type BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Informs the ABS module of the current ignition key type; standard or MyKey. The ABS modifies operating parameters if a restricted MyKey is used.
Ignition status BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Informs the ABS module of the current ignition status; off, accessory, run, start, unknown or invalid.
Odometer master value IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Informs the ABS module of the current odometer value in kilometers.
Parking brake apply request BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message is a request for parking brake application from the BCM for the EPB auto hold feature.
PATS start request target command PCM Provides the ABS module with the challenge and password for anti-theft vehicle starting. During vehicle starting, the PCM and the ABS module exchange information to make sure the vehicle is being started correctly.
PATS start request target status PCM Informs the ABS module of the current anti-theft start request status; disabled, enabled motive start, enabled non-motive start, disabled reset.
Powertrain status PCM Provides the ABS module with the current engine status; engine off, engine on or engine auto stopped.
RCM serial number RCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. The ABS module stores the RCM serial number and verifies the serial number when the vehicle is started or the ignition is set to RUN or ACC. Over time, the ABS module learns the offset of the sensors inside the RCM. When a new serial number is found when the ABS Calibration procedure is carried out using a diagnostic scan tool, the ABS module resets the offset number learned for ESC and RSC.
Restraint system impact event status RCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Provides the ABS module with the current SRS impact event status; normal, threshold 1 exceeded, threshold 2 exceeded or invalid.
Selectable drive mode request 4WD ATCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Provides the ABS module with the driver selected drive mode request.
Selectable drive mode request 2WD PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Provides the ABS module with the driver selected drive mode request.
Steering angle sensor data PSCM Several steering angle messages are sent to the ABS module from the PSCM. These messages include steering angle sensor status, steering wheel angle and steering wheel rotation count. The ABS module uses the steering angle sensor data for stability control feature operation.
Steering column torque PSCM Provides the ABS module with the current amount of torque being applied to the steering wheel by the driver. The ABS module uses this information for stability control feature operation.
Traction control status IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Informs the ABS module of the current traction control system status; active or inactive.
