DTC Descriptors

DTC U137B 00
- Accessory Power Module Wake Up Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

Modules connected to the high and low speed 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 prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are used by the receiver module as an availability indication of the transmitter module. Each message contains the identification number of the transmitter module.

The serial data communication enable and the accessory wakeup serial data circuits are energized by a specific module to activate another specific module when the ignition key is in ACC, ON or START. Only the modules using high speed GMLAN serial data are connected to the enable or wakeup circuits. Refer to the schematics to determine which modules activate and are activated using the enable or wakeup circuits.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The system voltage is between 9-16 volts.
* The vehicle power mode master requires serial data communication to occur fro this specific module.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter module availability has not been received.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The modules is never signaled, therefore the specific subsystems will not function.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.
