The FCIM shares the MS-CAN network with the instrument cluster, electronic manual temperature control (EMTC) module, smart junction box (SJB), audio unit, front display interface module (FDIM) and satellite radio receiver. Voltage to the FCIM is provided by circuit (BR/R). Ground is provided by circuit (B/L).
