Circuit/System Description

Modules connected to the 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. Each message contains the identification number of the transmitter module.

The body control module (BCM) and the serial data gateway module (SDGM) activate various modules by applying voltage to communication enable and wake up circuits when the ignition key is in ACC, ON or START. Refer to the schematics to determine which modules are activated by each wake up or enable circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The system voltage is between 9-16 volts.
    • The vehicle power mode master indicates that the need for serial data communications.

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 modules is never signaled, therefore the specific subsystems will not function.

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 of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Use the DTC Descriptor list above to determine the module which is not communicating.
    • Use the Hybrid High Voltage Module Chart to determine if a specific module is a high voltage module.
    • Use Data Link References to determine which serial data communication system a specific module uses.
    • When testing circuits to the SDGM access can be accomplished by removing the instrument panel center trim panel. Note that this procedure does not allow removal of the SDGM, only access to the connector. Refer to Instrument Panel Center Trim Panel Replacement.
    • If there are multiple non-communicating modules or loss of communication DTCs, choose the one closest to the data link connector (DLC) to begin diagnostics.
    • Some modules may not have internal protection for specific voltage outputs and may open a battery positive voltage or ignition voltage source fuse. If a voltage input fuse is open and no short is found in that circuit, ensure that no module output voltage circuit is shorted to ground before replacing the module.
    • This diagnostic can be used for any module that should communicate with high or low speed GMLAN serial data providing the vehicle is equipped with the option that uses that module.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. Verify that at least 1 module that communicates on high speed GMLAN serial data communicates with the scan tool.
    2. ⇒If no module communicates on high speed GMLAN serial data, refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device.
  2. Verify that at least 1 module, excluding BCM and SDGM, that communicates on low speed GMLAN serial data communicates with the scan tool.
    3. ⇒If no module communicates on low speed GMLAN serial data, excluding BCM and SDGM, refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device.

Circuit/System Testing

Danger: Always perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage component or connection. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.

The High Voltage Disabling procedure will perform the following tasks:

   • Identify how to disable high voltage.
   • Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.
   • Identify condition under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.
Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.

    Important: DTC U0125 may be set in the electronic brake control module (EBCM) due to the multi-axis acceleration sensor module (yaw rate/lateral accelerometer) communicating only on PTLAN serial data if there is a fault on that system. If U0074 or any U18xx exists in any module, diagnose those DTCs prior to DTC U0125.

    The multi-axis acceleration sensor module is not indicated on the scan tool as a communicating module. To check for communication on this module check EBCM data parameter Longitudinal Accelerometer Sensor Signal for correct reading.

  1. Verify the following DTCs are not present in the modules as follows:

    2. BCM

    • U1814
    • U2099
    • B1428
    • B1370
    • B1380

    • U0074
    • U182A
    • U209A
    ⇒If any listed DTC is present, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.
  2. Using the Hybrid High Voltage Module Chart below, verify that the non-communicating module is not a high voltage module.
    3. ⇒If the module is a high voltage module, perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure before proceeding with this diagnostic.
  3. Reconnect the 12-volt battery.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the necessary harness connectors of the non-communicating module.
  5. Test for less than 10 ohms between the module ground circuits and ground.
    6. ⇒If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

    Important: Not all modules have an enable circuit OR wake up circuit. Refer to the module schematics to identify which modules have these circuits. If the module that is not communicating does not have one of these circuits, proceed to step 6.

  6. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the serial data wake up or communication enable circuit, if equipped, and ground.
    7. ⇒If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the module that supplies voltage to the wake up or enable circuit.
  7. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between all B+ circuits and ground.
    8. ⇒If the test lamp does not illuminate, test 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 module.
  8. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between all ignition voltage circuits and ground.
    9. ⇒If the test lamp does not illuminate, test 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 module.
  9. Using the Hybrid High Voltage Module Chart below, verify that the module reporting the DTC is not a high voltage module.
    10. ⇒If the module is a high voltage module, perform the High Voltage Disabling.
  10. Reconnect the 12-volt battery.
  11. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector containing the serial data circuits between the module that reported the DTC and the module reported as not communicating.
  12. Test for less than 1 ohm on the GMLAN serial data circuits between the non-communicating module and the module that displays the DTC.
    13. ⇒If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for open/high resistance.
  13. If all circuits test normal, replace the module that is not communicating.
