System Operation: Indicators

ABS Warning Indicator 

The IPC receives the ABS warning indicator request message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the ABS warning indicator request message from the ABS module over the HS-CAN2. If a fault condition exists in the ABS, the ABS module sends the ABS warning indicator request message to either flash or illuminate the ABS warning indicator.

Refer to ABS/Brake/Stability-Traction Control System Indication description for information on the conditions when the ABS warning indicator is turned on

ABS/Brake/Stability-Traction Control System Indication 

The brake/stability-traction control system indication is controlled almost entirely by the ABS module. The ABS module can illuminate multiple indicators for various fault conditions. The following table provides a summary of the basic fault conditions and the indicators that are illuminated for each condition.

NOTE: Refer to the Normal Operation and Fault Condition description before each brake/stability-traction control system indicator Pinpoint Test (PPT) for the IPC default action for network/missing message conditions.
Event/Fault Condition ABS Warning Indicator Status Brake Warning Indicator Status Electric Park Brake Fault Indicator Status Stability-Traction Control Indicator Status Stability-Traction Control Disabled Indicator Status
Parking brake applied Off On Off Off Off
Low brake fluid level or brake fluid level input concern Off On Off Off Off
Stability-traction control event Off Off Off Flashing Off
Stability-traction control disabled by driver Off Off Off Off On
Single wheel speed sensor faults On On Off On On
2 wheel speed sensor faults on the same axle or 3 wheel speed sensor faults On Flashing or on On On On
HCU valve fault On On Off On On

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) mismatch On On Off On On
ACC and ABS both active Off Off Off Flashing Off

Airbag Warning Indicator 

The IPC receives the airbag warning indicator request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the airbag indicator request from the RCM over the HS-CAN2. If a SRS concern is detected, the RCM sets a DTC and the IPC illuminates the airbag warning indicator.

Brake Warning Indicator 

The brake warning indicator informs the driver the brake fluid level is low, there is a failure in the base brake system or the electric park brake is applied. The IPC uses 3 messaged inputs to control the brake warning indicator.

The IPC receives the brake (red) warning indicator request, the brake warning indicator request and the red brake warning indicator request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

The GWM receives the brake (red) warning indicator request and the brake warning indicator request from the ABS module over the HS-CAN2.

The GWM receives the red brake warning indicator request from the BCM over the HS-CAN2.

Refer to ABS/Brake/Stability-Traction Control System Indication description for information on the conditions when the brake warning indicator is turned on.

Electric Park Brake Fault Indicator 

The electric park brake fault indicator indicates a fault in the electric park brake system. The IPC receives the parking brake indicator request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the parking brake indicator request from the ABS module over the HS-CAN2.

High Beam Indicator 

The high beam indicator informs the driver the high beams are turned on. The IPC receives the high beam indicator request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the high beam indicator request from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.

LH- RH Turn Signal/Hazard Indicator 

When the multifunction switch is in the LH or RH turn position or if the hazard switch is on, the BCM sends the turn indication status message to the GWM over the HS-CAN1. The GWM sends the turn indication status message to the IPC over the HS-CAN3. Upon receipt of the applicable turn signal on/off data, the IPC flashes the turn signal indicator on and off.

Lights On Indicator 

When the parking lamps are turned on, the BCM sends the parklamp status message to the GWM over the HS-CAN1. The IPC receives the parklamp status message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3 to illuminate the lights on indicator.

MIL 

The IPC receives the MIL request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the MIL request from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

PRNDL Indicator 

NOTE: When the vehicle is in transport mode, the PRNDL is not displayed upon entry or exit from the vehicle to prevent battery drain during long periods of time when the vehicle is not in use, such as those experienced during vehicle transport.

The IPC uses the following messages to control the PRNDL:

The IPC receives the transmission gear display, transmission shift mode display and vehicle speed messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the transmission gear display, transmission shift mode display and vehicle speed messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

The IPC receives the vehicle mode message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the vehicle mode message from the BCM over the HS-CAN1. When the vehicle is in transport mode, the PRNDL is not displayed upon entry or exit from the vehicle to prevent battery drain during longer periods of time when the vehicle is not in use, such as those experienced during vehicle transport.

Rear Fog Lamp Indicator (If Equipped) 

When the rear fog lamps are turned on, the BCM sends the rear fog lamp indicator request message to the GWM over the HS-CAN1. The IPC receives the rear fog lamp indicator request message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3 to illuminate the rear fog lamp indicator.

Seatbelt Warning Indicator 

The RCM monitors the driver seatbelt position through the driver seatbelt buckle switch. The RCM provides the driver seatbelt buckle status message to the GWM over the HS-CAN2. The GWM provides the driver seatbelt status message to the IPC over the HS-CAN3 to either turn on or turn off the seatbelt warning indicator.

Stability-Traction Control Disabled Indicator (Sliding Car OFF Icon) 

The stability-traction control is configured on/off through the message center. When the driver enables or disables the stability-traction control system, the ABS module sends the stability-traction control disabled indicator request message to the GWM over the HS-CAN2. The GWM sends the stability-traction control disabled indicator request message to the IPC over the HS-CAN3 to illuminate or turn off the stability-traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) based upon the system state.

Refer to ABS/Brake/Stability-Traction Control System Indication description for information on the conditions when the stability-traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) is illuminated.

When a MyKey® administrator has set the AdvanceTrac® feature to always on and a MyKey® programmed key is in use, the stability-traction control system cannot be disabled. The menu selection in the message center used to disable the stability-traction control system does not display when a MyKey® is in use, but remains active for the MyKey® administrator to select the AdvanceTrac® always on feature off. The stability-traction control indicator still functions normally to indicate a stability-traction control system fault and a stability-traction control active event.

Refer to ABS/Brake/Stability-Traction Control System Indication description for information on the conditions when the stability-traction control indicator (sliding car icon) is illuminated.

Stability-Traction Control Indicator (Sliding Car Icon) 

The IPC receives the stability-traction control indicator request message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the stability-traction control indicator request message from the ABS module over the HS-CAN2.

Refer to ABS/Brake/Stability-Traction Control System Indication description for information on the conditions when the stability-traction control indicator (sliding car icon) is turned on.

TPMS Warning Indicator 

The IPC receives the tire pressure warning indicator request from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the tire pressure warning indicator request from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.

If the BCM determines the tire pressure has exceeded the low tire pressure limits, the tire pressure warning indicator request message is sent to the IPC to illuminate the TPMS warning indicator.

If a TPMS monitor or sensor fault condition exists, the BCM sends the tire pressure warning indicator request message to the IPC to flash the TPMS warning indicator. The IPC flashes the TPMS warning indicator for 75 seconds then turns the indicator on solid.
