Circuit Description

Modules connected to the Class 2 data link monitor the link for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information (Report messages) and commands (Load messages) are exchanged among the modules. Also, node alive State Of Health (SOH) messages are transmitted by each module on the data link about once every two seconds. When the SDM detects no messages and a high voltage on the Class 2 data link for approximately three seconds, U1301 is set and the setting of all other communication DTCs are inhibited. For more detailed information about the data lines, refer to Data Link Connector -- Cell 50.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • Voltage supplied to the SDM is in the normal operating voltage range (approximately 9-16 volts).
    • No class 2 messages are detected by the SDM on the data link.
    • The voltage level detected on the data link is high.
    • the above conditions are all met simultaneously for three seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The SDM sets DTC U1301.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The DTC will clear when one of the following conditions is met:

    • Current DTC
        The SDM receives a valid Class 2 message or the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
    • History DTC
        You issue a scan tool CLEAR CODES command.

Diagnostic Aids

    • This DTC cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis of a current U1300 is accomplished via the symptom, Scan Tool will not Communicate with the Class 2 serial data line.
    • An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short to voltage on the Class 2 serial data line.
