Perimeter Alarm
PRNDL Not In Park
The message center provides a shift to park message to inform the driver the vehicle is not in PARK (P) under 2 sets of conditions. First, the IPC displays the shift to park message if the selector lever is not in PARK (P), the ignition is OFF and the driver door is open or ajar. Second, the message center displays the shift to park message if the selector lever is not in PARK (P), the ignition is ON or in ACC, the driver door is open or ajar and the brake pedal is not applied with vehicle speed less than 5 km/h (3 mph). The IPC uses multiple messages to control the shift to park message.
The IPC receives all required messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.
The GWM receives the transmission gear display mode and vehicle speed messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.
The GWM receives the driver door ajar status, transport mode and ignition status message from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.
The IPC also uses the park position detect input to determine whether the vehicle is in PARK (P) along with the transmission gear display mode message.
See Park Position Detect Switch component description. Refer to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description (413-01 Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes, Description and Operation).
Remote Start
The message center provides remote start messages to inform the driver the vehicle is in the remote start active state and steps required to change the state to a drivable state. The remote start message display is active as soon as the vehicle is remote started (the engine is running, but the ignition status is off).
The IPC receives the remote start status message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the remote start status message from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.
Stability-Traction Control
The message center provides a stability-traction control system message to indicate the stability-traction control system has a fault and requires service.
When a fault condition exists in the stability-traction control system, the ABS module sets a DTC and sends the stability-traction control chime request to the GWM over the HS-CAN2. The GWM sends the stability-traction control chime request to the IPC over the HS-CAN3.
Starting System
The message center provides a starting system message to inform the driver of further actions required to start the engine or to explain the reason for the inability to start the engine. The IPC receives the starting system fault message request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the starting system fault message request from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.
Steering System
The message center provides a message to indicate there is an EPAS system concern. When a fault exists in the EPAS system, the PSCM sends the EPAS failure message to the GWM over the HS-CAN2.
The IPC receives the EPAS failure message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.
Tire Mobility
The IPC provides a message to inform the driver the tire mobility kit has passed its expiration date. The life of the tire mobility kit is 4 years and the IPC uses vehicle configuration to determine it is equipped with the kit then uses
