Serial Data

The Catera uses International Standards Organization (ISO) serial data and communicates with the scan tool on Data Link Connector (DLC) pin-7. Most other GM OBD II vehicles use Class 2 serial data on DLC pin-2. Both the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the Traction Control Module (TCM) communicate with the scan tool by using the ISO serial data circuit.
