Principles of Operation

The vehicle has three module communication networks: the standard corporate protocol (SCP), which is an unshielded twisted pair cable (data bus plus, (Circuit 914 [TN/OG]) and data bus minus, (Circuit 915 [PK/LB]), the single wire circuit 693 (OG) universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) based protocol (UBP) communications network and the international standards organization (ISO) 9141 communications network, which is a single wire network (Circuit 70 [LB/WH]). Both networks are connected to the data link connector (DLC). This makes diagnosis and testing of these systems easier by allowing one smart tester to be able to diagnose and control any module on the two networks from one connector. The DLC can be found under the instrument panel between the steering column and the radio.

The SCP communications network will remain operational even with the severing of one of the bus wires. Communications will also continue if one of the bus wires is shorted to ground or voltage, or if some but not all termination resistors are lost.

The ISO 9141 communications network does not permit intermodule communication. When the diagnostic tool communicates to modules on the ISO 9141 communication network, the diagnostic tool must ask for all information; the modules cannot initiate communications.

The ISO 9141 communications network will not function if the wire is shorted to ground or battery voltage. Also, if one of the modules on the ISO 9141 communications network loses power or shorts internally, communications to that module will fail.

The UBP communications network will not function if the wire is shorted to ground or voltage. The UBP is different from the ISO communication network in that it allows intermodule communication.

The vehicle security module controls the remote keyless entry system and computer-operated lock system. For additional information, refer to HANDLES, LOCKS, LATCHES AND ENTRY SYSTEMS .

The driver seat module (DSM) allows automatic positioning of the memory driver seat, both outside memory mirrors and the memory pedals to three programmable positions. For additional information, refer to SEATING .

Scheme 23: Inspection and Verification
  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.
  3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle: check that the program card is correctly installed. check the connections to the vehicle. check the ignition switch position. If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, GO to «PINPOINT TEST Q»(ref-193023-S09495954382005092300000) .
  4. GO to «PINPOINT TEST PC»(ref-193023-S26710846092005110300000) .

If, after individual checks of each circuit leading to a module show resistance values less than 5 ohms and no in-line connector issues present, the data link diagnostics test must be run with the module in question disconnected. If the data links diagnostics test passes with the module in question disconnected, it is the source of the concern and should be removed and a new module installed.

The instrument cluster communicates with the diagnostic tool through the UART based protocol (UBP) communications network circuit 693 (OG). If circuit 693 (OG) becomes open or shorted to ground communications to that module will not be possible. Check circuit 693 (OG) between the instrument cluster and the DLC C251. Total resistance values must not be more than 5 ohms. If the resistance is more than 5 ohms there is an open in circuit 693 (OG), damage to the DLC C251, damage to the instrument cluster C220b.

Under normal operation the diagnostic tool is connected to the DLC C251 to communicate with the standard corporate protocal (SCP), UART based protocol (UBP), and the international standards organization (ISO) 9141 communications networks. If communication can not be established, the diagnostic tool and the DLC C251 must be checked for damaged. If the diagnostic tool and the DLC C251 are OK, circuits 1001 (WH/YE), 57 (BK), and 570 (BK/WH) must be checked for an open condition.

The power driver seat and power outside rear view mirrors are controlled by the DSM only when the vehicle is equipped with the programmable/recall memory option. Power is supplied through central junction box (CJB) fuse 2 (10A) and battery junction box (BJB) fuse 21 (30A) on Circuits 1003 (GY/YE), 566 (DG) and grounded through circuit 1203 (BK/LB) and 1205 (BK).

The vehicle security module controls the remote keyless entry and computer-operated locks and vehicle security. The vehicle security module receives power through BJB fuse 2 (30A) and CJB fuse 2 (10A). From the fuses power is delivered to the module through circuits 456 (DG/OG), 645 (WH/LB) and is grounded on circuit 1205 (BK).
