WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
While there are numerous messages internal to the SOD-L and SOD-R, the following messages are utilized by the BLIS™ and CTA system.
NOTE:
Both the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) and the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) are used for intermeddle communication. A gateway message is transferred from one network to another network through the IPC. Refer to
MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK -- FUSION, MILAN & MKZ
article for network communication information.
