Circuit Description

The UART serial data link allows information to be exchanged from module to module as needed. This is done by the PCM, the PCM requests and sends all the information that is transmitted on the UART line. When a scan tool is connected to the UART line it takes over for the PCM and sends and requests the needed information.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. Failure to carefully and fully inspect the wiring and the connectors can result in misdiagnosis. Misdiagnosis may cause replacement of parts without repairing the malfunction.
    • If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis in Wiring Systems.
