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.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• | DTC U0101 Lost Communication With Transmission Control Module (TCM) |
• | DTC U0121 Lost Communication With Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) |
• | Voltage supplied to the modules is in the normal operating voltage range. |
• | The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur. |
• | The DTC U0001 does not have a current status. |
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter module availability has not been received.
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. |
• | A poor connection at the inoperative module may cause this code to set. |
• | An improperly powered module may cause this code to set. |

Important: Use the DTC list from DTC Descriptors to determine the closest module to DLC which is not communicating. Test the following circuits of the module that is not communicating, for an open or a short to ground:
Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 5 | ||||||
5 | Replace the module that is not communicating. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 6 | -- | ||||||
6 | Retrieve DTCs from the modules which had the Loss of Communications DTC set. Does the scan tool display any DTCs which do not begin with a "U"? | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information | Go to Step 7 | ||||||
