Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

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

Diagnostic Fault Information

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.

  • 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 will be available between the master control module and the scan tool if there is a loss of 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.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

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

Diagnostic Fault Information

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.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Diagnostic Fault Information

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

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 communications. To wake the devices connected to the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit, a voltage wake up pulse of 10 V is sent out. If serial data is lost, devices will set a no communication code against the non-communicating device. A loss of serial data communications 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 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 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
