Message Center - System Operation and Component Description — 2016 workshop reference 3903

The safety belt warning chime warns the safety belt is not fastened. The safety belt warning chime sounds a repetitive 1-second chime tone for 6 seconds through the front speakers when the driver safety belt is not fastened and the ignition is transitioned from OFF or ACC to ON or START. The safety belt warning chime stops sounding when the safety belt is fastened, when the ignition is transitioned from ON or START to OFF or ACC, or when the chime has sounded for 6 seconds.

The IPC receives the driver safety belt buckle status message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

The GWM receives the driver safety belt buckle status from the RCM over the HS-CAN2.

When the conditions require the safety belt warning chime, the IPC sends the IPC chime request message to the ACM and DSP module over the HS-CAN3 to sound the chime.

Service AdvanceTrac® Warning Chime

The service AdvanceTrac® warning chime warns the ABS module has detected a fault condition in the stability- traction control system. If a fault condition exists in the stability-traction control system, the ABS module sends the IPC the stability-traction control chime request to display the service AdvanceTrac® message in the message center and to sound 3 0.5-second chime tones through the front speakers.

The IPC receives the stability-traction control chime request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

The GWM receives the stability-traction control chime request from the ABS module over the HS-CAN2.

The IPC provides a repetitive 1-second on/off tick-tock chime tone along with visual RH or LH turn indicators to inform the driver the turn signal or hazard lamp function is on.

The IPC receives the left turn lamp request and the right turn lamp request messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

The GWM receives the left turn lamp request and the right turn lamp request messages from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.

Turn Signal Left On Chime

The turn signal left on or turn signal minder chime uses both odometer and the turn signal status message to determine the turn signals have been left on. The turn signal left on chime sounds a repetitive 1-second chime through the front speakers when the vehicle is driven with the turn signal on for more than 3.2 km (2.0 miles).

The IPC receives the turn signal status from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.
