Circuit Description

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.

DTC Descriptors

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs

DTC U1XXX Lost Communication With XXX Module

Control ModuleID Number
BCM064
DRR137
EBCM040
PCM016
Radio128
SDM088

DTC U1001-U1254

When more than one Loss of Communication DTC is set in either one module or in several modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order

  1. Current DTCs before history DTCs unless told otherwise in the diagnostic tables.
  2. The DTC which is reported the most times.
  3. From the lowest number DTC to the highest number DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  1. Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9 to 16 volts.
  2. Diagnostic trouble codes U1300, U1301 and U1305 do not have a current status.
  3. The vehicle power mode, ignition switch position, requires serial data communication to occur.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A message from a learned identification number has not been detected for the past 5 seconds.

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. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the class 2 serial data circuit about once every 2 seconds. When the module detects one of the following conditions on the class 2 serial data circuit for approximately 3 seconds, the setting of all other class 2 serial communication DTCs is inhibited and a DTC will set.

DTCCondition
U1300Low voltage on the class 2 serial data circuit
U1301High voltage on the class 2 serial data circuit

DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs

  1. DTC U1300 Class 2 Data Link Low
  2. DTC U1301 Class 2 Data Link High

Conditions for Running the DTCs

  1. Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range.
  2. The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The module uses default values for all parameters received on the class 2 serial data circuit.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  1. A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
  2. A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

  1. These DTCs cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis of current DTCs is accomplished via the symptom, Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with a Class 2 Device. Refer to «Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Class 2 Device»(ref-200102-S27466174532005102000000) .
  2. An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short on the class 2 serial data circuit. Use the Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with a Class 2 Device procedure in order to isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to «Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Class 2 Device»(ref-200102-S27466174532005102000000) .
IMPORTANTThe following steps must be completed before using the symptom tables.
  1. Perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(ref-200047-S02711684802005102000000) in Vehicle DTC Information before using the symptom tables in order to verify that all of the following are true: There are no DTCs set. The control modules can communicate via the serial data links.
  2. Review the system operation in order to familiarize yourself with the system functions. Refer to «Data Link Communications Description and Operation»(ref-200102-S22358454732005102000000) .

Visual/Physical Inspection

  1. Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the systems. Refer to «Checking Aftermarket Accessories»(ref-200048-S26121749732005102000000) in Wiring Systems.
  2. Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.

Symptom List

Refer to a symptom diagnostic procedure from the following list in order to diagnose the symptom

  1. «Scan Tool Does Not Power Up»(ref-200102-S19826307392005102000000)
  2. «Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Class 2 Device»(ref-200102-S27466174532005102000000)

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.

The scan tool will power up with the ignition OFF. Some modules however, will not communicate unless the ignition is ON and the power mode master (PMM) module sends the appropriate power mode message.

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.
