Low Key Fob And Switch Inhibit
The IPC provides a switch inhibit warning to notify the driver that some switches have been purposely inhibited and are inoperative. For security purposes, interior switches are inhibited by the BCM 20 seconds after the vehicle is electronically locked and prevents someone from using a stick (or other object) through an open window and activating the switch.
The IPC provides a low key fob battery warning to alert the driver the key fob battery needs to be replaced.
The IPC receives the lock system message request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the lock system message request from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.
Low Oil Pressure
The message center provides the low engine oil pressure warning message to supplement the low oil pressure RTT. The engine oil pressure switch is hardwired to the PCM. The IPC requires 2 messaged inputs to control the low oil pressure warning message. 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.
Memory Seat Status
The message center provides memory seat status messages to provide the driver confirmation that memory position storing was successful and that recalling a memory position can not be recalled while driving the vehicle. The IPC receives the seat memory command message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the seat memory command message from the DSM over the MS-CAN.
Oil Life
The instrument cluster provides messages to inform the driver about the oil life status, oil life reset status and when an oil change is required. The duration of the interval between oil changes is calculated in the PCM and varies due to driving conditions. The PCM assumes a base mileage of 16,090 km (10,000 mi) or 1 year for normal driving. However, this number is adjusted down for conditions such as high engine temperature, high engine rpm, use of flex fuel and possibly low oil level. The PCM calculates and provides the engine oil life percent message to the IPC. The IPC further converts the remaining oil life using the driver's configured oil life start value and displays the oil life percentage, indicating the remaining oil life. The oil change minder can be reset at any time by the driver.
The IPC receives the engine oil life message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the engine oil life message from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.
The PCM receives the engine oil life data reset message from the GWM over the HS-CAN1. The GWM receives the engine oil life data reset message from the IPC over the HS-CAN3.
Parking Aid
The message center provides messages to indicate the status of the parking aid system. The IPC receives the parking aid status messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the parking aid status messages from the PAM over the HS-CAN1.
PATS And Passive Key And Immobilizer System
The message center provides the starting system fault message to indicate there is a concern with the PATS. The message center provides passive key and immobilizer system messages to indicate the key is in the luggage compartment, the key is left in the vehicle, no key is detected, accessory power is active, to press the brake to start the vehicle or to place the key in the backup slot. The IPC uses the immobilizer message display messaged input from the BCM to display the applicable message center message.
The IPC receives the immobilizer message display data from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.
The GWM receives the immobilizer message display data from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.
