Collision mitigation by braking deceleration IPMA This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. 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 sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message is used to request precharging of the hydraulic brake system in preparation of a severe braking event.
Door ajar status BCM This message informs the ABS module of the current door ajar status. There is a separate message for each door and liftgate. The ABS module resets the parameters used for the ESC and RSC features when a door is opened. The message is also used for the EPB automatic release feature.
Driven wheel direction PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Provides the ABS module with the current direction of the driven wheels. This information is used for traction control and stability control purposes.
Driven wheel torque PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Provides the ABS module with the current torque output at the driven wheels. This information is used for traction control and stability control purposes.
Driven wheel regeneration torque PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Provides the ABS module with the current driven wheel braking torque output at the driven wheels. This information is used by the ABS module to support the regenerative braking system on the HEV.
Engine disable status PCM This message informs the ABS module the engine is currently disabled or enabled due to the stop-start system.
Engine RPM PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Provides the ABS module with the current engine RPM. This information is used for traction control and stability control purposes.
Gear lever position PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. 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 start assist 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 start assist system; off, auto or manual.
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. This message informs the ABS module of the current odometer value in kilometers.
Parking brake apply request GSM This message is a request for parking brake application from the GSM for the auto hold feature.
Parking brake apply request PAM This message is a request for parking brake application from the PAM for the active park assist feature.
Powertrain status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Provides the ABS module with the current engine status; engine off, engine on or engine auto stopped.
RCM serial number RCM 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 and the IVD Initialization procedure is carried out using a scan tool, the ABS module resets the offset number learned for ESC and RSC.
