Gateway Modules

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The GWM  is mounted under the driver's side instrument panel. The GWM  acts as a central gateway to translate messages for the 3 high speed vehicle CAN  networks, and vice versa. It acts as a gateway for messages on the Electric Vehicle (EV) High Speed CAN  to the other 2 High Speed CAN  .

The BCM  is also a gateway module. The BCM  translates messages on the High Speed CAN  to the Medium Speed CAN  and vice versa. This allows a message to be distributed throughout all applicable networks.

The BCM  and GWM  are the only modules on this vehicle that have this ability.
