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/liftgate ajar
- Engine oil pressure
- Engine over-temperature
- Grade assist
- Low fuel
- Low washer fluid
- Powertrain malfunction (wrench)
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 the HS-CAN or the MS-CAN. These components are required for specific IPC functions or gateway requirements. Refer to Multifunction Electronic Modules see Gateway Function.
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
