Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

With the ignition ON, the GWM sends messages to the SASM over the HS-CAN2. If the SASM does not receive these messages within a certain time frame (usually less than 1 second), the SASM sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). For information on the messages sent to the SASM by the GWM, refer to the Network Message Chart. Refer to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description .
