Transport-Factory 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 is used to reduce 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 (125 miles).

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.
