Door Ajar Indication 

The IPC provides a message center display to indicate the vehicle is on with a door ajar and engine running or when the auto stop/start system has turned off the engine. The BCM monitors each of the ajar inputs and sends a door ajar status message to the GWM over the HS-CAN1. The GWM sends a door ajar status message to the IPC over the HS-CAN3 to display door ajar warning message.

Engine Over-Temperature 

The IPC provides a message center display to indicate the engine is over-temperature. The PCM sends the engine over-temperature message to the GWM over the HS-CAN1. The GWM sends the engine over-temperature message to the IPC over the HS-CAN3 to move the temperature gauge to full hot and display the engine over-temperature message center warning.

Engine Service 

The IPC provides powertrain malfunction (wrench) displays to indicate a transmission malfunction, engine malfunction or fuel cutoff system malfunction. The IPC receives the engine servcie indication message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the engine service indication message from the PCM over the HS-CAN1 to turn on the appropriate powertrain malfunction message.

Factory-Transport Mode 

During vehicle build, some modules, such as the IPC and BCM, are set in factory mode. When in the factory mode, the IPC displays FACTORY MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. If the vehicle is set in factory mode, the system does not automatically exit the mode and must be manually set to either the transport or normal operation mode.

When the vehicle build is complete, the vehicle is set to transport mode. While in transport mode, the IPC displays TRANSPORT MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. Transport mode reduces the drain on the battery during longer periods where the vehicle is not used. Various systems may be altered or are disabled when in the transport mode. The vehicle automatically reverts to normal operation mode after being driven 201 km.

The IPC receives the factory mode and transport mode messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the factory mode and transport mode messages from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.

Forward Collision Alert 

The IPC provides a message center display to indicate a forward collision alert system malfunction or forward radar is blocked. The IPC receives the forward collision alert radar blocked and forward collision alert message request messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the forward collision alert radar blocked and forward collision alert message request messages from the IPMA over the HS-CAN2.

Hill Start Assist System 

The IPC provides a message center display to indicate the status of the hill start assist system. The IPC receives the hill start assist status message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the hill start assist status message from the ABS module over the HS-CAN2.

Lane Keeping Alert System 

The IPC provides a message center display to indicate the status of the lane keeping alert system. The IPC receives the lane keeping alert system status display and camera status display messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN1.
