The base IPC and the optional IPC are almost identical with the exception of the message center display area. The base IPC uses a single LCD display screen. The optional IPC message center provides a larger Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display screen with enhanced display capabilities.
Informational Indicators/Warning Indicators
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
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 indicator available is the cruise control indicator. The cruise control indicator is set in a fixed location in the message center display.
Networked Message Inputs
Module messaging has increased over time and has 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 the HS-CAN or the MS-CAN. These components are required for specific IPC functions or gateway requirements. Refer to: Module Controlled Functions - System Operation and Component Description
The hardwired inputs are provided by:
- Park detect switch (part of the floor shifter assembly)
- Upper LH (message center) and upper RH (audio control) steering wheel switch
