Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device HP2

Circuit Description

Modules connected to the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications on the high speed GMLAN network during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules.

The scan tool communicates with the following modules via the high speed GMLAN:

    • Energy Storage Control Module (ESCM)
    • Starter/Generator Control Module (SGCM)
    • Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) Module

Diagnostic Aids

Important: The tool communication with the modules connected only to high speed GMLAN data link requires the use of the CANdi module. Due to configuration of this vehicle, they may be communication DTCs set against modules that are able to communicate with the scan tool.

The following conditions may cause a total loss of high speed GMLAN data communication:

    • A short between high speed GMLAN (+) and high speed GMLAN (-) circuits
    • Any of the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits shorted to ground or voltage
    • A module internal malfunction that causes a short to voltage or ground on the high speed GMLAN circuits

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Retrieve DTCs from the powertrain control module (PCM).

Did you record any DTCs in the range of U1881 to U1899?

Go to DTC U1881-U1899

Go to Step 3

3

Did you record any DTCs in the range of U0100 to U0299?

Go to DTC U0100-U0299

Go to Step 4

Attempt to communicate with the following modules:

    • Energy storage control module (ESCM)
    • Starter/Generator control module (SGCM)
    • Electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS)

Does the scan tool communicate with all listed modules?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 6

Important: Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF, when testing for a short to voltage. Use the DMM MIN/MAX function to capture intermittent conditions.

  1. Disconnect the scan tool from the data link connector (DLC).
  2. Test the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits for:
    3. • an intermittent short to ground
    • an intermittent short to voltage
    • an intermittent short between high speed GMLAN (+) and (-) circuits
    • an intermittent open on any of the circuits

Refer to the following in Wiring Systems:

    •  Circuit Testing
    •  Connector Repairs
    •  GMLAN Wiring Repairs

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 10

Go to Diagnostic Aids

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the scan tool from the data link connector (DLC).
  3. Inspect for poor connections at the DLC terminals 6 and 14. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 7

  1. Disconnect the SGCM.
  2. Repair the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits between DLC connector and SGCM for an open. Refer to GMLAN Wiring Repairs and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

  1. Reconnect all of the disconnected modules.
  2. Install a scan tool.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Select the Display DTCs function for each module.
  5. Record all of the displayed DTCs and the DTC status.

Did you record any DTCs which begin with a "U" and with a current status?

Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

Go to Step 9

9

Did you record any DTCs which do not begin with a "U"?

Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

Go to Step 10
