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. In addition
to this, Node Alive (State of Health) messages are transmitted
by each module on the class 2 serial data circuit about
once every 2 seconds. When the module detects no messages
and a high voltage on the class 2 serial data circuit for
approximately 3 seconds, U1301 is set and the setting of all
other class 2 serial communication DTCs is inhibited.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage
range (approximately 9 to 16 volts). |
| • | The vehicle power mode (ignition switch position) requires serial
data communication to occur. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | No valid messages are detected on the class 2 serial data
circuit. |
| • | The voltage level detected on the class 2 serial data circuit
is high. |
| • | The above conditions are met for approximately 3 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The module inhibits the setting of all other class 2 DTCs. |
| • | The module uses default values for all parameters received on
the class 2 serial data circuit. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current U1301 will clear when a valid class 2 message
is detected on the class 2 serial data circuit or at the end of the
current ignition cycle. |
| • | A history U1301 will clear upon receipt of a scan tool Clear DTCs
command. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short to
voltage on the class 2 serial data circuit. Use the Scan Tool Does
Not Communicate with a Class 2 Device procedure in order to isolate
an intermittent condition. Refer to
