Gateway Module

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

The GWM  is mounted under the driver side instrument panel. The DLC  connector is fitted to the GWM  . The GWM  acts as a central gateway to translate messages across all 4 vehicle controller area networks (CANs), and vice versa. The GWM  is the only module on this vehicle with this ability.

The 2 module communication networks connected to the DLC  are HS-CAN1  and HS-CAN2  . These 2 networks communicate directly with the diagnostic scan tool. The other 2 communication networks, HS-CAN3  and MS-CAN  , communicate on the network, but do not communicate directly with the diagnostic scan tool. The GWM  translates the messages from these 2 networks to the HS-CAN2  , which transfers the signals to the diagnostic scan tool.
