Shift To Park

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 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 all required messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

The GWM receives the transmission gear display, brake pedal applied and vehicle speed messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

The GWM receives the driver door ajar status and ignition status message from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.
