Brake System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The message center provides brake system warning messages for the following concerns and status:

Low brake fluid level
Parking brake status and faults
ABS faults

The IPC receives all network messages required to operate the brake warning indicator from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

When a base brake system fault exists, the ABS module sends the brake (red) warning indicator request to the GWM over the HS-CAN2 to display the check brake system message center warning.

When the parking brake is applied, the BCM sends the brake chime request to the GWM over the HS-CAN1 to display the parking brake engaged message center warning.

When a low brake fluid level condition exists, the BCM sends the brake fluid level low message request to the GWM over the HS-CAN1 to display the brake fluid level low message center warning.
