Module Network Input Messages - VDM 

Broadcast Message Originating Module Message Purpose
ABS active ABS module Indicates the current ABS activity, on or off.
Accelerator pedal position PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current accelerator pedal position in percentage of travel with 0% at rest and 100% at full throttle.
Ambient air temperature PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current ambient air temperature in degrees Celsius.
Brake torque request ABS module This message indicates the total amount of braking, in newton meters, requested by the driver (via the brake pedal), the adaptive cruise control system or the collision avoidance system. The VDM adjusts the valve solenoids to help stabilize the vehicle during the operation of those systems.
Engine RPM data PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current engine RPM.
Fuel level IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the fuel level at time of ride height calibration in fractions of the fuel tank. The VDM uses fuel level when calculating suspension settings and uses a default setting when the information is not available.
Gear lever position PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current transmission gear status.
Ignition status BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current ignition status; off, accessory, run, start, invalid or unknown.
Life cycle mode BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current vehicle life cycle; normal, factory, not used or transport.
Message center feature configuration IPC This message informs the VDM of the current drive mode selected by the driver. The VDM adjusts suspension dampening as required.
Odometer master value IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current odometer value in kilometers and whether the data is fresh or unchanged.
Power pack status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current status of the engine and powertrain; Off - torque not available, On - torque not available, start in progress - torque not available or On - torque available.
Stability control event in progress ABS module Indicates a stability control system (traction control or ESC) is currently active.
Stability control indicator request ABS module Indicates the current stability control warning indicator status; on, off, slow flash or fast flash.
Stability control mode ABS module Indicates the current ESC activity, on or off. Also indicates if one or more of the stability control systems is faulted.
Steering angle data PSCM Indicates the current steering wheel angle relative to the straight ahead position.
Traction control mode ABS module Indicates the current traction control activity, active or inactive. Also indicates if the traction control system is faulted.
Vehicle configuration data BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current vehicle configuration and optional equipment.
Vehicle lateral acceleration ABS module Indicates the current lateral acceleration of the vehicle in meters per second squared as measured by the sensors in the RCM and relayed by the ABS module.
Vehicle lateral acceleration RCM Indicates the current lateral acceleration of the vehicle in meters per second squared as measured by the sensors in the RCM.
Vehicle longitudinal acceleration ABS module Indicates the current longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle in meters per second squared as measured by the sensors in the RCM and relayed by the ABS module.
Vehicle longitudinal acceleration RCM Indicates the current longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle in meters per second squared as measured by the sensors in the RCM.
Vehicle roll rate ABS module Indicates the current roll rate of the vehicle in radians per second squared as measured by the sensors in the RCM and relayed by the ABS module.
Vehicle roll rate RCM Indicates the current roll rate of the vehicle in radians per second squared as measured by the sensors in the RCM.
Vehicle speed PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the VDM. Indicates the current vehicle speed in kilometers per hour.
Vehicle yaw stability index ABS module Indicates the current stability (oversteer or understeer) of the vehicle.
Vehicle vertical acceleration ABS module Indicates the current vertical acceleration of the vehicle in meters per second squared as measured by the sensors in the RCM and relayed by the ABS module.
Vehicle vertical acceleration RCM Indicates the current vertical acceleration of the vehicle in meters per second squared as measured by the sensors in the RCM and relayed by the ABS module.
Vehicle yaw rate RCM Indicates the current yaw rate of the vehicle in radians per second squared as measured by the sensors in the RCM.
