Network Communication

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Lincoln MKT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The following adaptive cruise control system components communicate via the HS-CAN and Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN):

C-CM
PCM
ABS module
IPC

NOTE: While there are numerous messages internal to the adaptive cruise control system module, the following messages are utilized by the adaptive cruise control system in conjunction with outside systems.
