Stability-Traction Control-Spinout Detection System Message Displays

The IPC  provides a stability-traction control system message center message to indicate the stability traction control system has a fault and requires service.

When a fault condition exists in the stability-traction control system, the ABS  module sets a DTC  and sends the stability-traction control chime request to the GWM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 2 (HS2-CAN). The GWM  sends the stability-traction control chime request to the IPC  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 3 (HS3-CAN).

The spinout detection feature activates the hazard indicator to alert other vehicles approaching the vehicle following a spin-out, potentially reducing the risk of collision, especially in low visibility weather conditions. A spinout is defined as a slip angle greater than 40 degrees followed by 5 seconds of vehicle at rest.

When a spinout is detected, the system activates the hazard indicator and the IPC  displays a message to inform the driver that the hazards have been turned on. The IPC  receives the vehicle dynamics SOS message from the GWM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 3 (HS3-CAN). The GWM  receives the vehicle dynamics SOS message from the ABS  module over the High Speed Controller Area Network 2 (HS2-CAN).
