Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit Description
Modules connected to the controller area network (CAN) serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. If no communication is detected on CAN serial data circuit, the DTC is set. A total non communication condition may be caused by a short to battery or voltage on any of the CAN circuits or a short between the CAN high and low circuits.
The following modules communicate on CAN serial data bus:
- The body control module (BCM)
- The electronic brake control module (EBCM), if equipped
- The engine/powertrain control module (ECM/PCM)
- The transmission control module (TCM), with L61
