The BCM uses the sequence that the signals appear and their voltage levels to determine the power mode called for by the vehicle operator using the ignition switch. A 12-volt reference voltage is supplied by the BCM to the ignition switch over a discrete circuit. The ignition switch uses this voltage for power mode signal discrimination. When the operator places the ignition switch in the Run or Accessory position, the ignition 3 circuit delivers the signal to the BCM.

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC

DTC B1380 Device Ignition ACCESSORY Circuit

  1. The BCM must be powered and must detect a change in the ignition switch circuit states.
  2. The vehicles battery must be fully charged.

The BCM detects that the ignition 3 signal is shorted to ground, voltage or open for more than 10 seconds in the current ignition cycle.

  1. The BCM stores DTC to memory.
  2. The BCM operates in a fail-safe power mode dependent on the last valid power mode detected and the state of the engine run flag data on the class 2 serial data communications circuits.
  3. The other modules on the vehicle operate in a fail safe power mode dependent on the last valid power mode transmitted by the BCM and the state of the engine run flag on the class 2 serial data communications circuits.
  1. A current DTC clears on the next malfunction-free cycle.
  2. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

A history DTC maybe caused by an intermittent short or open in the ignition 3 circuit. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

DTC U0100-U0299

Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for state of health (SOH) monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within about 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or U1255 is set. If more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number association, the DTC will only be reported once.

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs

  1. DTC U1000 Class 2 Data Link Malfunction
  2. DTC U1255 Lost Communications
  1. Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9-16 volts.
  2. Diagnostic trouble codes U1300, U1301 and U1305 do not have a current status.
  3. The module operation or the vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.

At least one critical operating parameter has not been associated with an identification number within about 5 seconds after beginning serial data communication.

The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.

  1. A current DTC U1000 will clear when all critical operating parameters for the module have been associated with an identification number or at the end of the current ignition cycle.
  2. A history DTC U1000 will clear after 50 ignition switch ON/OFF cycles with no repeat of the failure.

When a malfunction, such as an open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a Lost Communication DTC for a specific module is set as a current DTC. When the modules stop communicating, the current Lost Communication DTC is cleared, but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules, so DTC U1000 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only DTC U1000 or U1255 is set.

The numbers below refer to the indicated step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 1: A Lost Communication with XXX DTC with a history status may indicate the cause of U1000.
  2. 2: The module that is not communicating is the likely cause of U1000 or U1255 being set.
  3. 5: The module which was not communicating may have set Lost Communication with XXX DTCs for those modules that it was monitoring.
  4. 6: The module which was not communicating may have set Lost Communication with XXX DTCs for those modules that it was monitoring.
  5. 7: The module that was not communicating may have set Lost Communication with XXX DTCs for those modules that the module was monitoring.
  6. 11: The modules that communicate indicate the module that cannot communicate. You must clear the DTC from the modules in order to avoid future misdiagnosis.
  7. 13: If all modules are communicating, the module that set U1000 may have done so due to some other condition.
  8. 14: The module that set U1000 is the likely cause of the malfunction.

DTC U1000 and U1255

Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring (Node Alive messages). A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. Once an identification number is learned by a module, it will monitor for that modules "Node Alive" message. Each module on the class 2 serial data circuit which is powered and performing functions that require detection of a communications malfunction is required to send a "Node Alive" message every 2 seconds. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for 5 seconds, a DTC U1xxx, where xxx is equal to the 3 digit identification number, is set.

The Control Module ID Number list provides a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with an internal class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle would have a Lost Communication DTC set by other modules. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC indicating the module that cannot communicate. When no message is detected from a learned identification number for five seconds, a DTC U1xxx, where xxx is equal to the 3 digit identification number, is set.

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC

The GMLAN serial data circuits are controller area network (CAN) high speed serial data buses used to communicate information between the control modules. Typical data transmission speeds must be high enough to ensure that a required real-time response is maintained. On this vehicle there are 2 utterly different types of GMLAN serial data circuits, the High speed 2-wire circuit and Low speed single wire circuit. Refer to Data Link Communications Description and Operation for the complete description of these buses. The GMLAN serial data circuits also communicate directly to the DLC connector. Messages are interpreted by the externally connected CANdi module which acts as a transceiver for the scan tool.

Modules connected to the GMLAN serial data circuits monitor communications during normal vehicle operation, where operation information is exchanged among the modules. All the modules on the GMLAN networks, maintain a transmit error counter (TEC) and a receive error counter (REC). The counter values increase with detected errors and will decrease with error-free messages. If the TEC value exceeds 255, the controller removes itself from the network and DTC U0073 will result.

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC

Refer to «Data Link References»(/buick/lacrosse/i-2004-2009/remont/communication-devices/#computerintegrating-systems__data-link-references) for the correct procedure for the specific modules.

Modules connected to the GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. The modules have programmed information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each virtual network. The messages are also supervised and some periodic messages are used by the receiver module as an availability indication of the transmitter module. The supervision time-out period is 250 milliseconds. Each message contains the identification number of the transmitter module. When a message that indicates the availability of the transmitter module is not received, the receiver module sets a DTC 21xx where xx is equal to the 2-digit identification number of the transmitter module.

The DTC descriptors listed below provide a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with a GMLAN serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle will have a Loss of Communication DTC set by other modules that depend on information from that failed module. The modules that can communicate will set a DTC indicating the module that cannot communicate.

Scan Tool Does Not Power Up

Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. Connecting a scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) allows communication with the modules for diagnostic purposes. DTCs may be set due to this symptom and during this diagnostic procedure. Complete the diagnostic procedure in order to ensure all the DTCs are diagnosed and cleared from memory.

  1. The body control module (BCM) detects that the ignition is ON and sends the appropriate power mode message to the other modules. Therefore, the BCM must be connected to the DLC for any other module to communicate with the scan tool.
  2. When the class 2 serial data circuit is shorted to ground or to voltage, the following DTCs may set: U1300 U1301 U1305

The numbers below refer to the indicated step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2: A partial loss of communication in the class 2 serial data circuit uses a different procedure than a total loss of communication of the class 2 serial data circuit.
  2. 4: The following DTCs may be retrieved with a history status. These DTCs are not the cause of the present condition. U1300 U1301 U1305
  3. 6: A State of Health DTC with a history status may be present along with a U1000 or U1255 with a current status. This indicates that the malfunction occurred when the ignition was ON.
  4. 10: Normal class 2 serial data communication cannot take place until the power mode master (PMM) module sends the appropriate power mode message. If the PMM does not send a wake-up message, other modules on the class 2 serial data circuit may not communicate.
  5. 12: This step uses the loss of communications with a class 2 serial data circuit to locate the probable malfunction. On vehicles equipped with a digital radio receiver (DRR), the DRR must be isolated from the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) to evaluate the condition of that class 2 serial data circuit branch. The following modules communicate on the class 2 serial data circuit: Driver information center (DIC) DRR Electronic brake control module (EBCM) Instrument panel cluster (IPC) Head-up display (HUD) HVAC Powertrain control module (PCM) Radio Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) SDM
  6. 17: If there are no current DTCs that begin with the letter "U", the communication concern has been repaired.

There are 2 different communication networks on this vehicle: The class 2 network and the GMLAN network. The class 2 serial data circuit is the low speed link and the GMLAN serial data circuit is the high speed link. Modules that need real time communications are attached to the high speed network. The engine control module (ECM) is the gateway between the networks. The purpose of the gateway is to transfer information from one network to another.

GMLAN Circuit Description

The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the GMLAN serial data circuit. On this vehicle, only GMLAN high speed is used. That means that the serial data is transmitted on 2 wires at an average of 500 Kbps. The high speed dual wire GMLAN is a differential bus. That means that two bus lines, GMLAN high and GMLAN low are driven to opposite extremes from a rest or idle level. The idle level which is approximately 2.5 volts is considered a recessive transmitted data and is interpreted as a logic 1. Driving the lines to their extremes means adding 1 volt to GMLAN high wire and subtracting 1 volt from GMLAN low wire. This dominant state is interpreted as a logic 0. GMLAN network management supports selective start up and is based on virtual networks. A virtual network is a collection of signals started in response to a vehicle event. The starting of a virtual network signifies that a particular aspect of the vehicles functionality has been requested. A virtual network is supported by virtual devices which represents a collection of signals owned by a single physical device. So, any physical device can have one or more virtual devices. The signal supervision is the process of determining whether an expected signal is being received or not. Failsofting is the ability to substitute a signal with a default value or a default algorithm, in the absence of a valid signal. Some messages are also interpreted as a, heartbeat, of a virtual device. If such a signal is lost, the application will set a no communication code against the respective virtual device. This code is mapped on the Tech 2 screen as a code against the physical device. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not normally represent a failure of the module that set it.

Class 2 Circuit Description

The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data line. The serial data line is the means by which the microprocessor-controlled modules that are connected to it communicate with each other. Once the scan tool is connected to the class 2 serial data line through the DLC, the scan tool can be used to monitor each module for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Class 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an average of 10.4 Kbps. The bus is active at 7.0 volts nominal and inactive at ground potential. When the ignition switch is in RUN, each module communicating on the class 2 serial data line sends a state of health (SOH) message every 2 seconds to ensure that the module is operating properly. When a module stops communicating on the class 2 serial data line, for example if the module loses power or ground, the SOH message it normally sends on the data line every 2 seconds disappears. Other modules on the class 2 serial data line, which expect to receive that SOH message, detect its absence; those modules in turn set an internal DTC associated with the loss of SOH of the non-communicating module. The DTC is unique to the module which is not communicating, for example, when the body control module (BCM) SOH message disappears, several modules set DTC U1064. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not normally represent a failure of the module that set it.

The data link connector (DLC) is a standardized 16 cavity connector. Connector design and location is dictated by an industry wide standard and is required to provide the following

  1. Scan tool power battery positive voltage at terminal 16
  2. Scan tool power ground at terminal 4
  3. Common signal ground at terminal 5
  4. Class 2 signal at terminal 2
  5. GMLAN high circuit at terminal 6
  6. GMLAN low circuit at terminal 14

GMLAN Serial Data Line

The GMLAN serial data communications circuit used on this vehicle is in a linear topology. The following modules are connected to the link, in order from DLC to the end of the linear configuration

The following modules communicate on the GMLAN serial data circuit

  1. The transmission control module (TCM), (LY7) 3.6-L
  2. The engine control module (ECM), (LY7) 3.6-L

The class 2 serial data link allows the following modules to communicate and share data with each other

  1. Body control module (BCM)
  2. Digital radio receiver
  3. Electronic brake control module (EBCM)
  4. Engine Control Module (ECM) (LY7)

  7. Powertrain control module (PCM) (L26)
  8. Radio
  9. Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
  10. Vehicle control interface module (VCIM)

The class 2 serial data link allows a scan tool to communicate with the above modules for diagnostic and testing purposes.

Body Control System Description and Operation

The body control system consists of the body control module (BCM) and its associated controls. Battery positive voltage is provided to the BCM from the TURN/HAZ fuse and the CHMSL/BKUP fuse in the fuse block instrument panel (I/P). The module grounds are wired to ground G200, G201 and G301.

Power Mode Description and Operation

Power to many of this vehicle's circuits are controlled by the module that is designated the power mode master (PMM). This vehicle PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM controls which power mode (Run, Accessory, Crank, Retained Accessory Power or Off) is active.

Serial Data Power Mode

On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle, the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM receives 3 discrete ignition switch signals to differentiate which power mode will be sent over the Serial Data circuits. The table below illustrates the state of these inputs in correspondence to the ignition switch position

Ignition Switch PositionIgnition 1Ignition 3CrankPower Mode Transmitted
Off000OFF/Awake or RAP
Start101Crank
Accessory010Accessory
Run110Run

3-Wire Ignition Switch Table

Relay Controlled Power Mode

The body control module (BCM) uses the discrete ignition switch inputs ignition 1, ignition 3 and crank to distinguish the correct power mode. Once the BCM has determined the power mode selected by the vehicle operator it will energize the Ignition relay, Run relay and retained accessory power (RAP) relay, depending on which power mode is selected.

Ignition 1 Relay

The relay uses a Hot At All Times B+ power source derived from the underhood electrical center. The ignition 1 relay supplies a power signal to the following circuits when the Run or Crank power mode is selected

  1. AC clutch relay
  2. ABS STG angle sensor
  3. Antilock brake system (ABS) yaw sensor
  4. Auxiliary power drop connector
  5. Crank relay
  6. Cruse control switch
  7. Electronic brake control module (EBCM)
  8. Engine control module (ECM)
  9. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning module (HVAC)
  10. Ignition control module (ICM)
  11. Instrument panel cluster (IPC)
  12. Sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
  13. Transmission solenoid circuit

Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Relay

The RAP relay is energized when the Run or Accessory power mode has been selected. The relay uses a Hot At All Times B+ power source derived from the underhood electrical center. The B+ power source is protected by the 50 Amp BATT MAIN 2 fuse. The BCM also energizes the relay for 10 minutes after the vehicle operator transitions the ignition switch from Accessory to OFF or Run to OFF positions. The following circuits are controlled by the RAP relay

  1. Power sunroof
  2. Power windows

Fail-Safe Operation

Since the operation of the vehicle systems depends on the power mode, there is a fail-safe plan in place should the power mode master (PMM) fail to send a power mode message. The fail-safe plan covers those modules using exclusively serial data control of power mode as well as those modules with discrete ignition signal inputs.

Serial Data Messages

The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes stay in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message until they can check for the engine run flag status on the serial data circuits. If the PMM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag serial data. If the engine run flag serial data is True, indicating that the engine is running, the modules fail-safe to RUN. In this state the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is False, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.

Discrete Ignition Signals

Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs also remain in the state dictated by the last valid PMM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, battery positive voltage, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 volts, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.

BCM Wake-Up/Sleep States

The body control module (BCM) is able to control or perform all of the BCM functions in the wake-up state. The BCM enters the sleep state when active control or monitoring of system functions has stopped and the BCM has become idle again. The BCM must detect certain wake-up inputs before entering the wake-up state. The BCM monitors for these inputs during the sleep state, where the BCM is able to detect switch transitions that cause the BCM to wake-up when activated or deactivated. Multiple switch inputs are needed in order to sense both the insertion of the ignition key and the power mode requested. This would allow the BCM to enter a sleep state when the key is IN or OUT of the ignition.

The BCM will enter a wake-up state if any of the following wake-up inputs are detected

  1. Activity on the serial data line
  2. Detection of a battery disconnect and reconnect condition
  3. Headlamps are ON.
  4. Ignition is turned ON.
  5. Key-in-ignition switch
  6. Park lamps are ON.

The BCM will enter a sleep state when all of the following conditions exist

  1. The ignition switch is OFF.
  2. No activity exists on the serial data line.
  3. No outputs are commanded.
  4. No delay timers are actively counting.
  5. No wake-up inputs are present.

If all these conditions are met the BCM will enter a low power or sleep condition. This condition indicates that the BCM, which is the power mode master (PMM) of the vehicle, has sent an OFF-ASLEEP message to the other systems on the serial data line.

Serial Data Control of Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

Retained accessory power (RAP) is a vehicle power mode that permits the operation of selected customer convenience items after the ignition switch is turned OFF. These selected items will remain in operation until a passenger compartment door is opened or until the RAP function timer reaches its time-out limit.

The modules listed below all receive a RAP message from the body control module (BCM) over the serial data circuits. The BCM monitors the ignition switch position, battery condition and passenger compartment door status to determine whether RAP should be initiated. The BCM then sends a message to the listed modules telling them that they are in RAP power mode. The modules then support the operation of the systems under their control as required by their RAP power mode strategy.

RAP will end when one of the following conditions are met

  1. The BCM receives an input (as a hard wired input from the door switches) indicating the opening of a passenger compartment door.
  2. The BCM receives a message from its internal timer indicating the end of the RAP period after 10 minutes.
  3. The BCM detects a decrease in battery capacity below a prescribed limit.
  4. The transition from OFF to RUN/ON or ACC of the ignition switch.

The BCM then sends a serial data message to the listed devices ending the RAP function.

The devices receiving serial data messages for RAP functions are

  1. Driver information center (DIC)
  2. Digital radio receiver (DRR), if equipped
  3. Head up display (HUD)
  4. Instrument panel cluster (IPC)
  5. Radio
  6. Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM), if equipped

Relay Control of Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

Retained accessory power (RAP) is a vehicle power mode that permits the operation of selected customer convenience items after the ignition switch is turned OFF. These selected items will remain in operation until a passenger compartment door is opened or until the RAP function timer reaches its time-out limit.

The body control module (BCM) activates the RAP relay in either the RAP function as described above or if the BCM detects a RUN/ON or accessory power mode. This provides power for the following

  1. The power windows
  2. The sunroof control module, if equipped

The BCM deactivates the RAP relay to end the RAP function when it ends the RAP function as outlined in the previous text.
