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 .

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.
