Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the high and low speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. The modules have prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits for each virtual network. The messages are supervised and periodic messages are used by the receiver module as an availability indication of the transmitter module. Each message contains the identification number of the transmitter module.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The system voltage is between 9-16 volts. |
| • | The vehicle power mode requires serial data communications. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter module availability has not been received, or is intermittently missing.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P150C is a Type C DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P150C is a Type C DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
Use the DTC Descriptor list to determine the module which is not communicating. If there are multiple non-communicating modules in series on high speed GMLAN, choose the one closest to the data link connector (DLC) for this diagnostic.

Circuit/System Testing
- Using the DTC Descriptor and Diagnostic Aids, determine which module is not communicating.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the module that is not communicating.
- Test for less than 0.5 ohm of resistance between each ground circuit of the module that is not communicating and ground.
- Test for battery voltage between each battery positive voltage circuit of the module that is not communicating and ground.
- Ignition ON, test for battery voltage between each ignition circuit of the module that is not communicating and ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the module that reported the no communication DTC.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 0.5 ohm of resistance in each serial data circuit between the module that is not communicating and the module that reported the DTC.
- If all tests normal, replace the module that is not communicating.
| ⇒ | If greater than 0.5 ohm, repair the open/high resistance in the ground circuit. |
| ⇒ | If less than battery voltage, repair the short to ground or open/high resistance in the battery positive voltage circuit. |
| ⇒ | If less than battery voltage, repair the short to ground or open/high resistance in the ignition circuit. |
| ⇒ | If greater than 0.5 ohm, repair the open/high resistance in the serial data circuit. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
