Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

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

The body control module (BCM) activates the high speed GMLAN serial data wake up and the accessory wake up serial data circuits by applying voltage when the ignition key is in ACC, ON or START. The high speed GMLAN serial data wake up circuit wakes up the electronic brake control module (EBCM) for bus communication and the accessory wake up serial data circuit wakes up the engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM).

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The system voltage is between 9-16 volts.
* The vehicle power mode requires serial data communication to occur.

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 module uses a default value for the missing parameters.

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.
* If there are multiple non-communicating modules choose the one closest to the data link connector (DLC).
* Use Data Link References (Data Link References) to determine if the module uses high or low speed GMLAN serial data communications
* 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 Testing

Important: If more than one module is not communicating use Data Communication Schematics (Electrical Diagrams) to determine which module is closest to the DLC. Start diagnostics with that module.


Terminal and connector identifiers will be different depending on the individual module being tested. Use Schematic Reference and Connector End View Reference to determine which connector and terminal to access.


1. Using the DTC Descriptor and Diagnostic Aids, determine the module that is not communicating that should be tested.
2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the module that is not communicating.
3. Test for less than 2 ohms between the module ground circuits and ground.

• If greater than specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

Important: Only the high speed GMLAN modules have a wired serial data wake up circuit. Refer to the module schematics to identify which modules have a wake up circuit. If the module that is not communicating does not have a serial data wake up circuit, proceed to step 5.


4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the high speed GMLAN serial data wake up circuit OR the accessory wake up serial data circuit and ground.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.

5. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between all B+ circuits and ground.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ 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 appropriate module.

6. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between all ignition voltage circuits and ground.

• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage circuits 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 appropriate module.

7. Test for less than 1 ohm in the GMLAN serial data circuits between the non-communicating module and the module that displays the DTC.

• If greater than specified range, test the GMLAN serial data circuits for open/high resistance.

8. If all circuits test normal, replace the module that is not communicating.
