Collision mitigation by braking deceleration CCM This message is used to request vehicle deceleration by the ABS module for the collision avoidance system.
Collision mitigation by braking precharge request CCM This message is used to request precharging of the hydraulic brake system in preparation of a severe braking event.
Cruise control override status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module if the PCM overrides the cruise control request.
Cruise control mode PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current cruise control mode: not active, keeping speed, accelerating, decelerating, resuming high, resuming low, tap up waiting, tap down waiting.
Cruise control status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current cruise control system status: off, denied, standby or active.
Door ajar status BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current door ajar status. There is a separate message for each door. The ABS module resets the parameters used for the ESC and RSC systems when a door is opened. The message is also used for the electronic parking brake automatic release feature.
Driven wheel torque output PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current torque output available at the driven wheels. This information is used for the traction control, hill start assist, ESC and RSC feature operation.
Driver safety belt buckle RCM This message informs the ABS module of the current driver safety belt buckle status, buckled or unbuckled. The ABS module uses this information for the electric parking brake drive away release feature.
EPAS external angle request PSCM This message informs the ABS module the EPAS gear is in the process of completing a park aid steering request.
EPAS status PSCM This message informs the ABS module of the current EPAS operation status; inactive or active.
Engine disable status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module the engine is currently disabled or enabled due to the stop-start system.
Engine RPM PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. Used to inform the ABS module of the current engine RPM. The ABS module uses this information for EPB drive away release feature, traction control, ESC, RSC and hill start assist operations.
Gear lever position PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current selected transmission gear, this is used for the hill start assist system, the ESC system and the RSC system. The hill start assist system operates in forward and reverse gears. The ESC and RSC systems do not operate when the transmission is in REVERSE. The message is also used for the electronic parking brake automatic release feature.
Hill start assist request IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current, driver selected mode for the hill start assist system; off, auto or manual.
Ignition key type BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current ignition key type; standard or MyKey. The ABS modifies operating parameters if a restricted MyKey is used.
Ignition status BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current ignition status; off, accessory, run, start, unknown or invalid.
Odometer master value IPC This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current odometer mileage.
Park brake active request GSM This message informs the ABS module to engage the parking brake for the auto hold feature.
PATS start request target command PCM This message is first sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message provides the ABS module with the challenge and password for anti-theft vehicle starting. During vehicle starting, the PCM and the ABS module exchange information to make sure the vehicle is being started correctly.
PATS start request target status PCM This message is first sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current antitheft start request status; disabled, enabled motive start, enabled non-motive start, disabled reset.
Reverse gear active PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module.

RCM serial number RCM The ABS module stores the RCM serial number and verifies the serial number when the vehicle is started or the ignition is set to RUN or ACC. Over time, the ABS module learns the offset of the sensors inside the RCM. When a new serial number is found and the IVD Initialization procedure is carried out using a scan tool, the ABS module resets the offset number learned for ESC and RSC.
Steering angle sensor data PSCM (vehicles without active park assist) Several steering angle messages are sent to the ABS module from the PSCM. These messages include steering angle sensor status, steering wheel angle and steering wheel rotation count. The ABS module uses the steering angle sensor data for ESC and RSC system operation.
Steering angle sensor data SCCM (vehicles with active park assist) Several steering angle messages are sent to the ABS module from the SCCM. These messages include steering angle sensor status, steering wheel angle and steering wheel rotation count. The ABS module uses the steering angle sensor data for ESC and RSC system operation.
