Network Messaged Inputs
Module messaging has increased dramatically over time and is becoming the standard for sending and receiving information required to operate the IC . The IC is a gateway module. As a gateway module, the IC receives and sends information to other modules over both the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) and the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) that may not necessarily be used for IC gauge or indicator outputs.
For a complete list of all module messages along with the message origination sources, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
Some of the system status and information messages that the IC requires from other modules to operate the gauges and indicators are as follows:
- Vehicle speed
- Engine RPM
- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
- ABS
- Traction control status
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
- Transmission range status
- Overdrive (O/D) status
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
- Brake fluid level
- Parking brake status
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
