The base IPC and the optional IPC are almost identical with the exception of the message center display area. Both message center displays utilize a single LCD display screen. The optional IPC message center provides a larger display area with enhanced display capabilities.
The ST uses a separate ICM to display the following 3 gauges.
- Engine oil temperature
- Turbo boost
- Engine oil pressure
Informational indicators provide information to the driver of conditions that exist in the vehicle. Warning indicators provide information to the driver of conditions that could potentially cause personal injury or alter vehicle performance.
Message center indicators illuminate in the message center and replace the typical informational or warning indicator using the same iconic representation. The only message center indicators available are the cruise control and upshift indicators. The cruise control indicator is set in a fixed location in the upper RH side of the message center display.
Module messaging has increased over time and become the standard for sending and receiving information required to operate the IPC . The majority of the inputs required to operate the IPC are received over the CAN .
Hardwired Inputs
The IPC requires hardwired inputs from components that are not on either the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) or the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN). These components are required for specific IPC functions or gateway requirements.
The hardwired inputs are provided by components:
- Park detect switch (part of the floor shifter assembly)
- Upper LH (message center) and upper RH (audio control) steering wheel switch
