Instrument Panel Cluster Control Module
The IPC receives a permanent power supply from the startup battery through the Passenger Junction Box (PJB). A hardwired Light Emitting Diode (LED) security system status indicator is connected to the IPC from the Body Control Module (BCM)/Gateway Module A (GWM).
The speedometer is driven by square wave signals derived from the wheel speed sensors which is hardwired to the Integrated Power Brake control module. The Integrated Power Brake control module transmits the signal to the BCM /GWM through the HS CAN Underbody systems bus. The IPC receives the signal from the BCM /GWM through the HS CAN HMI systems bus.
The tachometer is driven by an engine speed signal from the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) which is hardwired to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM transmits the signal from the CKP to the BCM /GWM through the FlexRay. The IPC receives the signal from the BCM /GWM through the HS CAN HMI systems bus.
The Electric Steering Column Lock (ESCL) is connected directly to the IPC on a hardwired connection. The IPC provides a controlled ground for the ESCL.
The steering wheel switchpack inputs are sent to the IPC through the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) connection.

The Front Infotainment Control Module (IGM/ICCM) and the HUD are connected to the IPC by:
- Automotive Pixel Link 2 (APIX2) connection
- HS CAN HMI systems bus.
Other vehicle sensors are connected to the BCM /GWM which processes the signals from the sensors. The processed signals are delivered to the IPC on the HS CAN HMI systems bus. The IPC communicates with the vehicle infotainment system on the HS CAN HMI systems bus.
All warning sounds are generated by the infotainment system.
