Control Module Communication Bus B Off
For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List .
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The devices connected to the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits
monitor for serial data
communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and
commands are exchanged among
the devices when the ignition switch is in any position other than OFF. The
chassis high speed GMLAN serial
data bus uses terminating resistors that are in parallel with the chassis high
speed GMLAN (+) and (-) circuits.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9-16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device
availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
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 device ignition cycle counter reaches the
reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
- Use the Data Link References to identify the chassis high speed GMLAN
devices.
- Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a
repair, you may notice a history Ucode
present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status.
Loss-of-communication Ucodes
such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are
transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually,
they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition
would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
- A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the
communication circuit is
awake.
- Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
- A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating
when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the
communication circuit did not all reinitialize
at the same time.
- If a loss-of-communication U code appears in history for no apparent
reason, it is most likely associated with one of the scenarios above. These
are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
- Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which
device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
- Communication may be available between some devices and the scan tool
with the chassis high speed
GMLAN serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to those devices
using multiple serial data
communication systems.
- An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to
operate but not communicate
with the vehicle.
- Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC).
- Some devices 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 device output voltage circuit is shorted to
ground before replacing the device.

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The serial data circuit is the means by which the devices in the vehicle
communicate with each other. Once the
scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the Data Link
Connector (DLC), the scan tool can be
used to monitor each device for diagnostic purposes and to check for Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC). When
the ignition switch is in RUN, each device communicating on the serial data
circuit sends a state of health
message to ensure that the device is operating properly. When a device stops
communicating on the serial data
circuit, for example if the device loses power or ground, the state of health
message it normally sends on the
serial data circuit disappears. Other devices on the serial data circuit, which
expect to receive that state of health
message, detect its absence; those devices in turn set a DTC associated with the
loss of state of health of the
non-communicating device. The DTC is unique to the device which is not
communicating and one or more
devices may set the same exact code. A loss of serial data communications DTC
does not represent a failure of
the devices that contain the stored code.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9-16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device
availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- Specific subsystems will not function.
- DTC U0100 in the Transmission Control Module will cause the transmission
to go into default gears.
- Both DTC U0100 in the Transmission Control Module and DTC U0101 in the
Engine Control Module will cause the malfunction indicator
lamp (MIL) to illuminate.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- The Engine Control Module or Transmission Control Module turns OFF the
MIL after 4 consecutive
ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
- A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the
reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair,
you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss
of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are
transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they
will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would
most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
- A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the
communication circuit is
awake.
- Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
- A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating
when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the
communication circuit did not all reinitialize
at the same time.
- If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent
reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary
conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
- A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any
repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom
or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a
history U code.
- Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which
device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
- Communication may be available between some devices and the scan tool
with either the low or high
speed GMLAN serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to those
devices using multiple serial
data communication systems.
- Use Data Link References to determine what serial data communications
the device uses.
- Some devices may not have internal protection for specific control
circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to
ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the device.
- Some intermittent communication concerns may be caused by fretting
corrosion on the serial data circuit
terminals. Inspect all connectors at the device that set the communication
DTC, the device that the
communication DTC was set against, and any inline harness connectors between
the two devices. Do not
replace a device based only on fretting corrosion. Refer to bulletin
09-06-03-004 for assistance with the diagnosis and repair of
this condition, if applicable.
- This diagnostic can be used for any device that is not
communicating, regardless of the type of serial data
circuit it is connected to, providing the vehicle is equipped with the
device.

communications with any of the other LIN devices on the LIN bus network.
- Some devices may not have internal protection for
specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition
fuse. If a fuse is open and the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to
ground, ensure none of the control
circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the device.
- Some intermittent communication concerns may be caused
by fretting corrosion on the serial data circuit
terminals. Inspect all connectors at the device that set the communication
DTC, the device that the
communication DTC was set against, and any inline harness connectors between
the two devices. Do not
replace a device based only on fretting corrosion. Refer to bulletin
09-06-03-004 for assistance with the
diagnosis and repair of this condition, if applicable.
- An open in the LIN bus serial data circuit between the
splice pack and a LIN device will only affect that
specific LIN device. This type of failure will set a loss of communication
DTC for each LIN device
affected and the other LIN devices will still communicate.

DTC U18A6
Lost Communication with Right Object Detection Control Module on Dedicated
Bus 1
For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List .
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The side object sensor modules use radar to determine the presence of objects
nearby. The left side object
sensor is the master that communicates on serial data. There is a private
communication network between the
left and right sensors. The scan tool can communicate only with the left sensor.
Side blind zone alert is active
when the vehicle is out of park or the parking brake is off on manual
transmission vehicles. If a vehicle is
detected in the side blind zone, the warning symbols will illuminate on the
appropriate side. The warning
symbols will vary brightness based on the ambient light conditions. When an
object is detected in the left side
blind zone, the side object sensor module sends a message to the right sensor
through serial data. The right
sensor then supplies voltage to illuminate the visual indicator on the left side
outside rear view mirror. When an
object is detected in the right side blind zone, the right side object sensor
will supply a voltage to illuminate the
visual indicator on the right side outside rear view mirror.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The system voltage is between 9-16 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device
availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
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 device ignition cycle counter reaches the
reset threshold of 40, without a

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The chassis high speed GMLAN bus functions the same as the primary high speed
GMLAN bus, and the two
buses operate in parallel. The chassis high speed GMLAN bus is added to reduce
message congestion on the
primary high speed bus. Since the chassis high speed GMLAN bus and primary high
speed GMLAN bus
operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are the same.
The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speeds up to 500
kbit/s. The twisted pair is
terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the electronic brake
control module and the other can
be a separate resistor in a connector assembly or in another device. The
resistors are used as the load for the
chassis high speed GMLAN bus during normal vehicle operation. The chassis high
speed GMLAN is a
differential bus. The chassis high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and chassis
high speed GMLAN serial data
(-) are driven to opposite extremes from a rest or idle level of approximately
2.5 V. Driving the lines to their
extremes, adds 1 V to the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) circuit
and subtracts 1 V from the
chassis high speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) circuit. If serial data is lost,
devices will set a no communication
code against the non-communicating device. Note that a loss of serial data DTC
does not represent a failure of
the device that set it.
Diagnostic Aids
- Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a
repair, you may notice a history UCircuit code present.
However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status.
Loss-of-communication Ucodes
such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are
transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually,
they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition
would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
- A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the
communication circuit is
awake.
- Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
- A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating
when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the
communication circuit did not all reinitialize
at the same time.
- If a loss-of-communication U code appears in history for no apparent
reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary
conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
- Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which
device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
- Communication may be available between some devices and the scan tool
with one or more GMLAN
serial data systems inoperative. This condition is due to those devices
using multiple serial data
communication systems.
- An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to
operate but not communicate
with the vehicle.
- Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC).

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speeds up to
500 Kb/s. The twisted pair is
terminated with two 120 ohms resistors, one is internal to the engine control
module (ECM) and the other can
be a separate resistor in a connector assembly or in another device. The
resistors are used as the load for the
High Speed GMLAN bus during normal vehicle operation. The high speed GMLAN is a
differential bus. The
high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and high speed GMLAN serial data (-) are
driven to opposite extremes
from a rest or idle level of approximately 2.5 V. Driving the lines to their
extremes, adds 1 V to the high speed
GMLAN serial data bus (+) circuit and subtracts 1 V from the high speed GMLAN
serial data bus (-) circuit. If
serial data is lost, devices will set a no communication code against the non-communicating
device. Note that a
loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the device that set it.
Diagnostic Aids
Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair,
you may notice a history Ucode
present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status.
Loss-of-communication Ucodes
such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent
to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they
will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would
most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
- A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the
communication circuit is
awake.
- Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
- A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating
when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the
communication circuit did not all reinitialize
at the same time.
- If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent
reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary
conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which
device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
Communication may be available between some devices and the scan tool with
the high speed GMLAN
serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to those devices using
multiple serial data
communication systems.
An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to
operate but not communicate
with the vehicle.
The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the high speed
GMLAN serial data bus.
Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC) and no low speed GMLAN communications with the scan tool.
These conditions may be caused by the installation of an aftermarket
navigation radio module (see
bulletins). Some customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:
- Vehicle will not crank
- Vehicle cranks but will not start
- Vehicle stability enhancement system warning lights and messages
- PRNDL gear indicator position errors

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate devices.
The transmission speed for GMLAN
low speed is up to 83.33 kbit/s. Under normal vehicle operating conditions, the
speed of the bus is 33.33 kbit/s.
The devices toggle the serial data circuit between 0-5 V during normal

connected to the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit, a voltage wake up pulse of
10 V is sent out. If serial

automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would
most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
- A device on the data
communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
- Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis
- A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating
when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
- Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the
communication circuit did not all re- initialize at the
same time.
- If a loss of communication U- code appears in history
for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary
conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which
device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with the
low speed GMLAN serial
data system inoperative. This condition is due to the device using both the high
and low speed GMLAN
systems.
An open in the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit between the splice pack
and a device will only
affect that specific device. This type of failure will set a loss of
communication DTC for each device
affected, and the other devices will still communicate.
An open in the X84 Data Link Connector (DLC) ground circuit terminal 5 will
allow the scan tool to
operate but not communicate with the vehicle.
The engine may not start when there is a total malfunction of the low speed
GMLAN serial data circuit.
Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic
Trouble Codes
(DTC) and no low speed LAN communications with the scan tool.
These conditions may be caused by the installation of an aftermarket
navigation radio device (see
bulletins). Some customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:
- Vehicle will not crank
- Vehicle cranks but will not start
- Vehicle stability enhancement system warning lights and messages
- PRNDL gear indicator position errors
