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 a module detects no
messages and a low voltage on the class 2 serial data circuit for approximately
3 seconds, U1300 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 module operation or 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 low. |
| • | 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 U1300 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 U1300 will clear after 50 ignition switch ON/OFF cycles
with no repeated failure. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | An intermittent condition is likely to be caused by a short to
ground 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
