Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
High Speed GMLAN Serial Data Bus (+) | 1 | 2 | 1 | -- |
High Speed GMLAN Serial Data Bus (-) | 1 | 2 | 1 | -- |
1. No communication on any high speed GMLAN module. 2. An open in only one high speed GMLAN serial data circuit may allow degraded communication between the modules or no communication with a specific module. | ||||
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules when the ignition switch is in any position other than OFF. The high speed GMLAN serial data bus uses two 120 ohm terminating resistors that are in parallel with the high speed GMLAN (+) and (-) circuits. One of the resistors is connected near the data link connector (DLC) end of the link and the other is internal to the ECM/PCM end of the link. The DLC terminating resistor is not internal to a module. Modules connected to the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits are the transmission control module (TCM), glow plug control module (GPCM), and the engine control module/powertrain control module (ECM/PCM).
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Use the Data Link References to identify the high speed GMLAN serial data modules. |
| • | This test is used for a total high speed GMLAN communication failure. If only 1 module is not communicating and sets no DTC, ensure that the vehicle is equipped with the module, then use DTC U0100-U0299 for diagnostics. |
| • | The following conditions may cause a total loss of high speed GMLAN data communication: |
| - | A short between high speed GMLAN (+) and high speed GMLAN (-) circuits |
| - | Any of the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits shorted to ground or voltage |
| - | A module internal malfunction that causes a short to voltage or ground on the high speed GMLAN circuits |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X2 of the GPCM.
- Ignition ON, with a scan tool attempt to communicate with the TCM. Communication should be available.
- At the GPCM connector, test for less than 1.0 volt between the serial data circuit terminal 43 and ground, and between the serial data circuit terminal 44 and ground.
- At the GPCM connector, test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuit terminal 43 and ground, and between the serial data circuit terminal 44 and ground.
- At the GPCM connector, test for 108-132 ohms between the serial data circuits, terminals 43, and 44.
- If the circuits test normal, replace the GPCM.
| ⇒ | If no communication, test the high speed GMLAN serial data (+) and (-) circuits between the DLC, TCM and 120 Ohm resistor for a short to voltage, short to ground, a short between them, and an open/high resistance, and between the TCM and GPCM for a short to ground, short to voltage, or a short between them. If the circuits test normal, replace the TCM. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM/PCM. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified value, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM/PCM. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the serial data circuits for a short between them. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM/PCM. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM/PCM. |
