Table 1: | Control Module ID Numbers |
Each module connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitors serial data communication during normal vehicle operation. Operating parameters and other information are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for state of health monitoring. Once a module learns another modules identification number, it will monitor the serial data for that modules node alive message. Each module that sends critical operating parameters is required to send a node alive message every two seconds. If no message is detected from a learned module for five seconds, one or more Lost Communications DTCs will set.
The control module ID number list provides a method for determining which module is not communicating. A module with an internal class 2 serial data circuit malfunction or which loses power during the current ignition cycle would have a lost communication DTC set by other modules. Use the control module ID number list in order to determine which module is not communicating and the DTC U1001-U1254 diagnostic table in order to diagnose the malfunction.
Control Module | ID Number |
---|---|
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) | 016 |
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) | 041 |
Body Control Module (BCM) | 064 |
Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) | 088 |
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) | 096 |
Radio | 128 |
Vehicle Communication Interface Module (VCIM) | 151 |
Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) | 176 |
When more than one loss of communication DTC is set in a single module or among multiple modules, diagnose the DTCs in the following order:
• | Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range of 9-16 volts. |
• | DTCs U1300, U1301 or U1305 do not have a current status. |
• | The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. |
A node alive message has not been received from a module with a learned identification number within the last 5 seconds.
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.
• | 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. |
• | An intermittent open between a module and a star connector may cause this DTC to set. |
• | A poor connection at a module or a star connector may cause this DTC to set. |
• | An intermittent open in a star connector may cause this DTC to set. |
• | An open voltage or ground circuit to a module may cause this DTC to set. |
• | An internal module malfunction may cause this DTC to set. |
