PRNDL Indicator

The IPC  uses the following messages to control the PRNDL:

The IPC  receives the transmission gear display, transmission shift mode display and vehicle speed messages from the GWM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 3 (HS3-CAN). The GWM  receives the transmission gear display, transmission shift mode display and vehicle speed messages from the PCM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-CAN).

The IPC  receives the life cycle mode message from the GWM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 3 (HS3-CAN). The GWM  receives the life cycle mode message from the BCM  over the High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS1-CAN). When the vehicle is in transport mode, the PRNDL is not displayed upon entry or exit from the vehicle to prevent battery drain during longer periods of time when the vehicle is not in use, such as those experienced during vehicle transport.

The IPC  also uses a park position detect switch (part of the selector lever) input to signal the IPC  the shift lever is fully seated in the PARK (P) position. The IPC  compares the park position detect switch input with the transmission gear display message sent from the PCM  .
