Ready To Drive Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ready to drive indicator informs the driver that the vehicle is ready to be driven. Since the engine may turn on and off at different times during operation, the ready to drive indicator helps to eliminate the potential for the driver to interpret the engine turning off as a stall or other failure condition. The IPC receives the ready to drive request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the ready to drive request from the SOBDMC over the HS-CAN1.
