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.
Class 2 Serial Data Line
The class 2 serial data line on this vehicle is a star configuration. The following modules communicate on the class 2 serial data line:
- The audio amplifier
- The body control module (BCM)
- The digital audio broadcast (DAB) module
- The digital radio receiver
- The driver door module (DDM)
- The electronic brake control module (EBCM)
- The front passenger door module (FPDM)
- The HVAC control module
- The HVAC control module-rear auxiliary
- The inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
- The instrument panel cluster (IPC)
- The memory seat module (MSM)
- The powertrain control module (PCM)
- The radio
- The rear seat audio (RSA) controller
- The rear seat entertainment (RSE) assembly w/U42
- The rear wheel steering control module
- The remote playback device-CD player w/U1S
- The suspension control module
- The transfer case shift control module
- The transmission control module (TCM) w/Allison Transmission
- The theft deterrent control module
- The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) w/UE1
The class 2 serial data line allows a scan tool to communicate with these modules for testing purposes, checking for DTCs, and to activate/enable/disable functions. These class 2 serial data circuits are bussed together via splice packs and a data link connector (DLC):
- SP205
- SP206
- SP207
- DLC-connects the scan tool to the class 2 serial data circuits.
Refer to DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS COMPONENT VIEWSΒ for an illustrated view of the splice pack locations.
