Normal Operation 

When the ELDMSS is engaged to lock the rear differential, the ELDMSS opens allowing the voltage being monitored by the TCCM to go high. When the TCCM senses the voltage is high it activates the ELD. The TCCM sends a message to the IPC via the HS-CAN requesting the IPC illuminate the ELD message center indicator.
