Stability-Traction Control-Spinout Detection System

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 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 HS-CAN2. The GWM sends the stability-traction control chime request to the IPC over the HS-CAN3.

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 HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the vehicle dynamics SOS message from the ABS module over the HS-CAN2.
