Class 2 Serial Data Line

Circuit Description

The class 2 serial data line allows all of the modules on the line to transmit information to each other as needed. Each module is assigned an ID. All of the information sent out on the line is assigned a priority by which it is received. When the ignition is turned ON, each module begins to send and receive information. Each module on the class 2 serial data line knows what information the module needs to send out and what information the module should be receiving. What the modules do not know is which module is supposed to send the information. This information is only learned after the module has received the information needed along with the ID of the module that sent the information. This information is then remembered until the ignition switch is turned off.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Install a scan tool.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Attempt to establish communication with other modules on the class 2 serial data line, such as the PCM.

Does the scan tool communicate with any other modules on the class 2 serial data line?

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Remove the ABS (50 A) Fuse from the underhood fuse block.

    3. Important: If equipped with TIM, removing battery voltage or ground from the EBCM will result in the following conditions.

       • Loss of the TIM learned tire inflation configuration parameters
       • Set DTC C1245 Low Tire Pressure Detected
    When the diagnosis is complete, inspect the tire pressures and perform the TIM reset. Refer to Tire Inflation Monitor Resetting in Tire Pressure Monitoring.

  3. Disconnect the EBCM harness connector.
  4. Connect the J 39700 universal pinout box using the J 39700-300 cable adapter to the EBCM harness connector only.
  5. Test the battery voltage circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Remove the ABS (10 A) Fuse from the IP fuse block.

    3. Important: If equipped with TIM, removing battery voltage or ground from the EBCM will result in the following conditions.

       • Loss of the TIM learned tire inflation configuration parameters
       • Set DTC C1245 Low Tire Pressure Detected
    When the diagnosis is complete, inspect the tire pressures and perform the TIM reset. Refer to Tire Inflation Monitor Resetting in Tire Pressure Monitoring.

  3. Disconnect the EBCM harness connector.
  4. Connect the J 39700 universal pinout box using the J 39700-300 cable adapter to the EBCM harness connector only.

    5. Important: Disconnecting the EBCM and turning ON the ignition could cause other modules to set loss of communication DTCs (Uxxxx). Once the EBCM is reconnected, the EBCM may set one or both of the following DTCs.

       • DTC C1245 Low Tire Pressure Detected
       • DTC C1298 PCM Class 2 Serial Data Malfunction

  5. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  6. Test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
