Circuit/System Description

Modules connected to the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. The modules have prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are used by the receiver module as an availability indication of the transmitter module. The supervision time-out period is 250 ms. Each message contains the identification number of the transmitter module.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter module availability has not been received.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

Diagnostic Aids

Diagnose any power moding DTCs prior to diagnosing data communication DTCs

Circuit/System Verification

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.

Circuit/System Testing

1. With a scan tool, verify DTC B1440 is not set.

⇒	If DTC is current refer to DTC B1440 .

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the module that is not communicating.
3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance in the GMLAN serial data circuit(s) between the non-communicating module and the module that displays the DTC.

⇒	If greater than 1 ohm of resistance, test the GMLAN serial data circuit(s) for open/high resistance.

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