1. Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device |
The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted on 2 twisted wires that allow speed up to 500 Kbps. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the engine control module (ECM) and the other is internal to the instrument panel module (IPM). The resistors are used to reduce noise on the high speed GMLAN bus during normal vehicle operation. The high speed GMLAN is a differential bus. The high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and high speed GMLAN serial data (-) are driven to opposite extremes from a rest or idle level. The idle level which is approximately 2.5 volts is considered a recessive transmitted data and is interpreted as a logic 1. Driving the lines to their extremes adds 1 volt to high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and subtracts 1 volt from high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) wire. This dominant state is interpreted as a logic 0.
Two different outputs are used by IPM to activate the high speed GMLAN bus:
• | Accessory wake up, active in all power modes when IPM is awake except Crank and in a remote start request. |
• | High speed communication enable, active in all power modes when IPM is awake and in a remote start request. |
The accessory wake up signal wakes up the ECM and the transmission control module (TCM) only. This output is disabled in Crank power mode for internal fail enable of the ECM and TCM. The high speed communication enable signal wakes up all the other modules on the high speed GMLAN bus.
• | The system voltage is between 9-16 volts. |
• | The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. |
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter module availability has not been received.
The module uses a default value for the missing parameters.
• | 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. |
• | Use the DTC Descriptor list above to determine the module which is not communicating. |
• | If there are multiple non-communicating modules choose the one closest to the data link connector (DLC). |
• | Use Data Link References to determine if the module uses high or low speed GMLAN serial data communications |
• | 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 high or low speed GMLAN serial data providing the vehicle is equipped with the option that uses that module. |
Data Link Communications Description and Operation
Data Link Communications Description and Operation for Scan Tool information.
Important: If more than one module is not communicating use Data Communication Schematics to determine which module is closest to the DLC. Start diagnostics with that module.
Important: Only the high speed GMLAN modules have a wired serial data wake up circuit. Refer to the module schematics to identify which modules have a wake up circuit. If the module that is not communicating does not have a serial data wake up circuit, proceed to step 4.
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module. |
⇒ | If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open. |
⇒ | If greater than 1 ohm of resistance, test the GMLAN serial data circuit(s) for open/high resistance. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
