Circuit 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.
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC U0101 Lost Communication With Transmission Control Module (TCM)
DTC Symptom | DTC Symptom Descriptor |
|---|---|
00 | No additional information |
Conditions for Running the DTCs
| • | Voltage supplied to the modules is in the normal operating voltage range. |
| • | The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. |
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
| • | 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, without a repeat of the malfunction. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | A poor connection at the inoperative module may cause this code to set. |
| • | An improperly powered module may cause this code to set. |
