CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands 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. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within about five seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage range (approximately 9 to 16 volts).
^ Diagnostic trouble codes U1300 and U1301 do not have a current status.
^ The vehicle power mode (ignition switch position) requires serial data communication to occur.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
At least one critical operating parameter has not been associated with an identification number within approximately five seconds after beginning serial data communication.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ A current DTC U1OOO will clear when all of the critical operating parameters for the module have been associated with an identification number or when the current ignition cycle ends.
^ A history DTC U1OOO will clear upon receipt of a scan tool Clear DTCs command.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
When a malfunction (such as an open fuse to a module) occurs while modules are communicating, a Lost Communication DTC is set as a current DTC. When the modules stop communicating (ignition is turned OFF) the current Lost Communication DTC is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so DTC U1OOO is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only DTC U1OOO is set.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
1. A Lost Communication with XXX DTC with a history status may indicate the cause of U1OOO.
2. The module(s) which is not communicating is the likely cause of U1OOO being set. The following modules communicate on the class 2 serial data circuit:
^ PCM
^ EBCM
^ SDM
^ IPC
5. The module which was not communicating may have set Lost Communication with XXX DTCs for those modules that it was monitoring.
6. The module which was not communicating may have set Lost Communication with XXX DTCs for those modules that it was monitoring.
7. The module which was not communicating may have set Lost Communication with XXX DTCs for those modules that it was monitoring.
11. The modules which can communicate indicate the module which cannot communicate. You must clear the DTC from these modules to avoid future misdiagnosis.
13. If all modules are communicating, the module which set U1000 may have done so due to some other condition.
14. The module which set U1000 is the likely cause of the malfunction.
