Brake System

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 IPC provides brake system messages for the following concerns and status:

low brake fluid level
parking brake status and faults
ABS concerns that display along with the brake warning indicator operation

When the parking brake is applied, the ABS module sends the parking brake status to the GWM over the HS-CAN2. The GWM sends the message to the IPC over the HS-CAN3 to illuminate the brake warning indicator and turn on the parking brake applied message in the message center.

When a low brake fluid level condition exists, the BCM sends the brake fluid level low message request to the GWM over the HS-CAN1. The GWM sends the message to the IPC over the HS-CAN3 to illuminate the brake warning indicator and turn on the brake fluid level low message in the message center.

When an ABS or parking brake system concern exists, the ABS module sends the brake (red) warning indicator request message to the GWM over the HS-CAN2. The GWM sends the brake (red) warning indicator request message to the IPC over the HS-CAN3 to illuminate the ABS warning indicator and to turn on the check brake system message center warning display.
