PRNDL Indicator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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 HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the transmission gear display, transmission shift mode display and vehicle speed messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

The IPC receives the life cycle mode message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the life cycle mode message from the BCM over the HS-CAN1. 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.
