PSCM Network Input Messages 

Broadcast Message Originating Module Message Purpose
Anti-lock brake control activated ABS module Informs the PSCM an anti-lock brake event is taking place. The PSCM modifies operating parameters when an anti-lock brake event is taking place.
Battery voltage BCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the PSCM. Provides the PSCM with the current 12-volt battery and charging system voltage.
Driven wheel torque output PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the PSCM. Informs the PSCM of the current torque output available at the driven wheels. This information is used for active park assist operation.
Ignition status BCM This message is first sent to the GWM and then to the PSCM. Used to confirm the ignition status of the vehicle.
Lateral motion control data IPMA Contains all the lane keeping assist information necessary for EPAS lane keeping assist operation while driving through a curve.
Lane keep assist data IPMA Contains all the lane departure and lane keeping assist information necessary for EPAS lane keeping assist operation.
Odometer master value IPC This message is first sent to the GWM and then to the PSCM. The PSCM uses the odometer information for various self diagnostics.
Outside air temperature IPC This message is first sent to the GWM and then to the PSCM. The PSCM uses the temperature information for various self diagnostics.
Powertrain status PCM This message is first sent to the GWM and then to the PSCM. Used to confirm the status of the operating mode; off - torque not available, on - torque not available, start in progress - torque not available or on - torque available.
Ride height status SUMA Provides the PSCM with the current status of the air suspension ride height.
Reverse gear status PCM This message is sent to the GWM and then to the PSCM. Informs the PSCM of the current reverse gear status; inactive not confirmed, inactive confirmed, active not confirmed, or active confirmed. This information is used for active park assist operation.
Selectable drive mode chassis request ABS module Informs the PSCM of the current chassis drive mode request.
Stability control activated ABS module Informs the PSCM either an ESC or RSC event is taking place. The PSCM modifies operating parameters when a stability control event is taking place.
Steering angle request IPMA Contains the steering angle requests for lane keeping assist operation.
Steering angle request PAM Contains the steering angle requests for parking assist operation.
Steering assist data IPMA Contains all the collision mitigation by braking information necessary for EPAS collision mitigation operation.
Steering wheel angle information SASM Provides the active park assist system with the current steering wheel angle, as measured by the adaptive steering system, in degrees as well as the steering wheel angle count (number or revolutions).
Turn signal switch status SCCM Informs the PSCM of the current, driver selected turn signal switch status; off, left, or right. This message is used for lane keeping system function.
Vehicle configuration information BCM This message is first sent to the GWM and then to the PSCM. Used to compare the PSCM configuration against the vehicles specific configuration (central car configuration).
Vehicle latitudinal acceleration rate ABS module Used by the PSCM for steering assist calculations.
Vehicle speed data ABS module Determines the level of assist supplied to the steering gear and to validate the steering wheel component angle by comparing the rotational speeds of each wheel. The difference in the speed of each wheel is used to derive a steering angle for comparison against the EPAS motor position sensor.
Vehicle yaw rate ABS module Used by the PSCM for steering assist calculations.
Vehicle yaw rate RCM Used by the PSCM for steering assist calculations.
Wheel direction ABS module Provides the PSCM with the current direction of travel for all 4 wheels. Used by the PSCM for steering assist calculations.
Wheel speed ABS module Provides the PSCM with the current direction of travel for all 4 wheels. Used by the PSCM for steering assist calculations.
