DRIVERS ASSISTANCE SYSTEM MODULE (DASM)

Refer to COMPONENT INDEXΒ .

The DASM detects the following signals that are general requirements for system functionality:

  • Ignition ON, time since last ON value determined from the BCM
  • 12v battery from the BCM
  • Wheel speed sensor values from the ABS module to determine if the vehicle is in standstill or in motion
  • Steering wheel angle values from the SCCM
  • Engine configuration information from the PCM
  • Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) actual value
  • If equipped, vehicle ride height information from the Active Stabilizer Control Module (ASCM) for vertical radar alignment determination
  • ESC active signal from the ABS module indicating that ESC is able to provide braking during ACC with Stop and GO operation
