Shift To Park Message Display

The IPC  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 IPC  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 the transmission gear display message from the BCM  over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). The BCM  receives the transmission gear display message from the GWM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). The GWM  receives the transmission gear display message from the PCM  over the Electric Vehicle (EV) High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).

The IPC  also uses the park position detect input to determine whether the vehicle is in PARK (P) along with the transmission gear display message.

See PARK POSITION DETECT SWITCH  component description.

Refer to: INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) - OVERVIEW .

The IPC  receives the brake pedal applied message from the GWM  over the Infotainment Controller Area Network (I-CAN). The GWM  receives the brake pedal applied message from the PCM  over the Electric Vehicle (EV) High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN).
