Gateway Module

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Body Control Module (BCM) and Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) are the gateway modules. The BCM translates messages on the HS-CAN to the MS-CAN and vice versa. The IPC translates messages on the HS-CAN to the I-CAN and vice versa. This allows a message to be distributed through all 3 networks. The BCM and IPC are the only modules on this vehicle that have this ability.
