VDC WARNING LIGHT ON CONTROL PANEL ON

The Brake Node sends a FAULT/INTERVENTION message via the C-CAN network to the Body Computer. This makes the message available through the Gateway via the B-CAN network to the Instrument Panel Node, which turns on the warning light and displays a FAULT/INTERVENTION message on the active matrix.
