Cruise Control

The IPC uses the following messaged inputs to control the cruise control RTT:

cruise control status cruise control set speed display cruise control override

The IPC receives the cruise control messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the cruise control messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

Door Ajar

The IPC provides a door ajar RTT along with message displays to indicate the status of the doors or luggage compartment lid. The BCM monitors each of the ajar inputs and sends the corresponding ajar message (driver door ajar status, passenger door ajar status or luggage compartment lid ajar) to the GWM over the HS-CAN1when a door or the luggage compartment lid is ajar. The IPC receives the door ajar status message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

Drive Mode

The IPC provides multiple RTT indicators to inform the driver of the selected drive mode (sport, sport plus, rain/snow, track mode and drag strip mode). The IPC receives the powertrain drive mode message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the powertrain drive mode message from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

Engine Over-Temperature

The IPC provides a RTT to alert the driver the engine is over temperature. The IPC receives the engine overheat indication request and the engine coolant temperature data messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the engine overheat indication request and the engine coolant temperature data messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

Launch Control

The IPC provides the launch control RTT indicator to inform the driver of the launch control system status. The IPC receives the launch control mode message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the launch control mode message from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

Low Fuel

The IPC provides the low fuel RTT indicator in 2 colors, amber and red. The IPC uses the calculated DTE to control the low fuel RTT. The low fuel RTT illuminates whenever the DTE reads 80 km (50 miles) with an administrator key or 120 km (75 miles) with a MyKey® key.

Low Oil Pressure

The engine oil pressure switch is hardwired to the PCM. The IPC requires 2 messaged inputs to control the low oil pressure RTT. The first is the oil pressure warning indicator request message and the second is the engine rpm data message above 400 rpm. Both the oil pressure warning indicator request and engine RPM data messages are sent from the PCM to the GWM over the HS-CAN1. The IPC receives the oil pressure warning indicator request and engine rpm data messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

Overspeed Warning (Gulf Cooperative Countries [GCC])

The IPC provides an overspeed warning RTT to inform the driver that the vehicle speed has reached or exceeded the 120 km/h (75 mph) threshold. The IPC receives the vehicle speed signal from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the vehicle speed signal from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

Powertrain Malfunction (Wrench)

The IPC provides a powertrain malfunction (wrench) RTT to indicate transmission, Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) and BCM concerns.

The IPC receives all the required messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

The GWM receives the body service required message from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.
