The IPC uses dual RH and LH LCD screens to display driver information. The LH display screen contains the message center information. The RH display screen displays multimedia information (audio, phone and navigation), as well as items such as vehicle direction, outside air temperature and time.
Refer to the appropriate Information and Entertainment System article for the procedure.
Informational Indicators/Warning Indicators
Informational indicators provide information to the driver of conditions that exist in the vehicle. Warning indicators provide information to the driver of conditions that could potentially cause personal injury or alter vehicle performance.
Message Center Indicators
Message center indicators illuminate in the message center and replace the typical informational or warning indicator using the same iconic representation. When multiple warnings exist, the message center indicators cycle through each display until the condition has been corrected unless the message center indicator is in a fixed position. The message center indicators include:
- Charging system
- Cruise control (fixed location)
- Door/luggage compartment lid ajar
- Engine oil pressure
- Engine over-temperature
- Grade assist
- Low fuel
- Low washer fluid
- Powertrain malfunction (wrench)
Transport Mode
The vehicle is placed in a transport mode at the completion of production to reduce the drain on the battery. Various systems may be altered in how they operate or are disabled when in the transport mode. The vehicle automatically reverts to normal operation after 201 km (125 miles). To disable or turn off the transport mode, carry out the following within 10 seconds:
- Verify the battery is fully charged.
- With ignition in RUN, press brake pedal 5 times.
- Press hazard switch 4 times (on, off, on, off).
Factory Mode
During vehicle assembly, the vehicle defaults to factory mode. Factory mode sets the function timers such as PRNDL display to further reduce the drain on the battery during assembly. The vehicle is placed into transport mode at the end of vehicle assembly. The vehicle remains in factory mode for 60 ignition cycles or until it is manually changed to transport mode.
Networked Message Inputs
Module messaging has increased over time and has become the standard for sending and receiving information required to operate the IPC. The majority of the inputs required to operate the IPC are received over the CAN.
Hardwired Inputs
The IPC requires hardwired inputs from components that are not on either the HS-CAN or the MS-CAN. These components are required for specific IPC functions or gateway requirements. For additional information about the gateway function, Refer to Gateway Function in Multifunction Electronic Modules .
The hardwired inputs are provided by:
- Fuel pump assembly (primary fuel level input)
- Fuel level sensor (secondary fuel level input)
- Park detect switch (part of the floor shifter assembly)
- Washer fluid level switch
