Module Network Input Messages - ABS Module 

Broadcast Message Originating Module Message Purpose
Accelerator pedal position PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. The ABS module uses accelerator pedal position information for correct operation of the ABS, traction control, ESC, RSC and the automatic release feature of the electronic parking brake system.
AWD locking status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. The ABS module uses AWD information for correct operation of the ABS and stability control systems.
Auto hold switch FCIM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current, driver selected, auto hold feature setting; on or off.
Brake on-off switch PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module the driver has pressed the brake pedal. This message is also used by the ABS module to check the brake pressure sensor located inside the HCU.
Brake pedal applied PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module the driver has pressed the brake pedal. This message is also used by the ABS module to check the brake pressure sensor located inside the HCU.
Collision mitigation by braking deceleration CCM This message is used to request vehicle deceleration by the ABS module for the collision avoidance system.
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 functions when a door is opened. The message is also used for the electronic parking brake automatic release feature.
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 status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current status of the engine system; off, on, hot or cold.
Gear lever position GSM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module of the current transmission gear lever position, this is used for the hill start assist system, the ESC and the RSC systems. 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 BCM 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 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.
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.
Transmission in reverse GSM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message informs the ABS module when the transmission is in REVERSE, this is used for the hill start assist system, ESC and the RSC systems. 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.
Vehicle configuration data BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message provides the ABS module with the current optional and configured items such as tire size, axle ratio, manual or automatic transaxle, keyless entry and VIN.
Vehicle dynamic data display VDM Used to inform the ABS module of the current vehicle suspension mode; comfort, normal, sport, faulty, service required, temporarily off, or mode change unavailable. This message is used by the ABS module for traction control, ESC and RSC performance.
Vehicle speed PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the ABS module. This message provides the ABS module with the current vehicle speed.
