The CPC communicates with other control units installed on the vehicle including the MCM, the ACM and the TCM (if equipped) over the data link. Data for specific applications is stored in the CPC. These include idle speed, maximum running speed, and speed limitation. From this data, instructions are calculated for controlling the vehicle and transmitted to the CPC via the proprietary datalink.
