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.
Diagnostic Aids
The following conditions will cause a total loss of class 2 serial data communication:
• | A class 2 serial data circuit shorted to ground. |
• | A class 2 serial data circuit shorted to voltage. |
• | An internal condition within a module or connector on the class 2 serial data circuit, that causes a short to voltage or ground to the class 2 serial data circuit. |
