Diagnostic Fault Information






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.

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 5 seconds, a DTC U1xxx, where xxx is equal to the 3-digit identification number, is set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9-16 volts.
* Diagnostic trouble codes U1300, U1301 and U1305 do not have a current status.
* 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.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The module(s) is never signaled, therefore the specific subsystem(s) 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.

Diagnostic Aids

* Use the DTC Descriptor list above to determine the module which is not communicating.
* Some modules may not have internal protection for specific voltage outputs and may open a battery positive voltage or ignition voltage source fuse. If a voltage input fuse is open and no short is found in that circuit, ensure that no module output voltage circuit is shorted to ground before replacing the module.
* This diagnostic can be used for any module that should communicate with Class 2 serial data providing the vehicle is equipped with the option that uses that module.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the module that is not communicating.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between all battery positive voltage circuits and ground.

^ If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, also test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.

3. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between all ignition voltage circuits and ground.

^ If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, also test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.

4. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the module ground circuits and ground.

^ If greater than 1 ohm, repair the ground circuit for an open.

5. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance in the Class 2 serial data circuit between the non-communicating module and the module that displays the DTC.

^ If greater than 1 ohm of resistance, test the Class 2 serial data circuit for open/high resistance.

6. If all circuits test normal, replace the module that is not communicating.
