Broadcast Message Originating Module Message Purpose
Climate controlled seat set status DCSM  The climate controlled seat set status message provides the current status of the climate controlled seats to the APIM  . The APIM  then updates the displayed status of the climate controlled seat buttons on the FDIM  (touchscreen).

When the climate control seat buttons are activated on the touchscreen interface, the APIM  sends the climate controlled seat commands to the FCIM  using the I-CAN  . The FCIM  sends the request message to the IPC  using the I-CAN  . The IPC  sends the request message to the BCM  over the HS-CAN  . Finally, the BCM  sends the climate controlled seat commands to the DCSM  using the MS-CAN  .
