Gateway Module (GWM)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Jaguar XF, 2014 Jaguar XF, and 2013 Jaguar XF. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The GWM is located at the rear of the right wheel arch in the luggage compartment, adjacent to the DBM. The GWM is attached to a bracket, which is attached to a second bracket secured to the vehicle body.
The GWM contains software to control the following functions:
- Determine condition of primary and secondary batteries
- Control the output from the generator using load management software
- Controls ECO stop/start using power management to inhibit unnecessary electrical loads
- Control the DBJB via the DBM to enable the switching of the contactors.
The GWM communicates with other system modules on the high speed and medium speed CAN buses.
The GWM communicates with the BMS control module and the DBM via a LIN bus.
