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. Connecting a scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) allows communication with the modules for diagnostic purposes.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. A current DTC U1305 may be retrieved only from the body control module (BCM).

    2.

  2. A partial malfunction in the class 2 serial data circuit uses a different procedure from a total malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The following modules communicate on the class 2 serial data circuit. The BCM is diagnosed only through GMLAN serial data circuit.

    3. • Body control module (BCM)
    • Communication interface module (OnStar®)
    • Digital radio receiver (DRR)
    • Driver door module (DDM)
    • Driver door switch (DDS)
    • Driver position module (DPM)
    • Folding top controller (FTC)
    • Head up display (HUD)
    • HVAC control module
    • Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
    • Instrument panel cluster (IPC)
    • Passenger door module (PDM)
    • Radio
    • Remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR)
    • Steering column lock control module (SCLCM)

  3. Data link connector terminals 2 and 5 provide the connection to the class 2 serial data circuit and the signal ground circuit respectively.

    4.

  4. A poor connection at splice pack SP205 will cause this condition but will not set a DTC.

    5.

  5. An open in the class 2 serial data circuit between the DLC and splice pack SP205 will prevent the scan tool from communicating with any module on the class 2 network. This condition will not set a DTC.

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Perform the Vehicle DTC Information function on the scan tool under Computer/Integrating Systems menu.

Are the DTCs U1300, U1301 or U1305 retrieved from any module?

Go to DTC U1300, U1301, or U1305

Go to Step 3

3

Did the scan tool communicate with any module on the class 2 serial data circuit?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 7

4

Did you record any DTCs in the range of U1000 to U1255?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 6

5

Did you record any DTCs in the range of U1001 to U1254?

Go to DTC U1001-U1254

Go to DTC U1000 and U1255

6

Diagnose the non-communicating module by using the DTC U1001-U2154 procedure for the module which is not communicating. Refer to DTC U1001-U1254 .
