WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2010 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Use the schematic to identify the following:
- Control modules the vehicle is equipped with
- Control module locations on the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit
- Each control module's low speed GMLAN serial data circuit terminals
- Attempt to communicate with all control modules on the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit, refer to Data Link ReferencesΒ . Communications should not be available with two or more control modules on the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
- If only one control module is not communicating, diagnose that control module only, refer to DTC U0100-U02FF (with HP2)Β or DTC U0100-U02FF (without HP2)Β .
- If one or more control modules are communicating but not all, refer to Testing the Serial Data Circuit for an Open/High Resistance.
- Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC. The following tests will be done at the DLC connector.
- All access doors closed, ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 10 Ξ© between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 4.5 V between the serial data circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage, refer to Testing the Serial Data Circuit for a Short to Voltage.
- Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for greater than 100 Ξ© between the serial data circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground, refer to Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short to ground.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the JX 221 splice pack.
- Test for less than 2 Ξ© between the serial data circuit terminal 1 and the JX 221 splice pack terminal D.
- If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the splice pack.
Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short to Voltage
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the JX 221, JX 339, and JX 223 splice packs, as equipped.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 4.5 V between the DLC serial data circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, repair the short to voltage.
- Test for less than 4.5 V between each serial data circuit and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, perform the appropriate test listed below:
- Serial data circuits with one control module, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the control module.
- Serial data circuits with 2 or more control modules, test each section of the serial data circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the control module that causes the short to voltage when connected.
Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short to Ground
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the JX 221, JX 339, and JX 223 splice packs, as equipped.
- Test for infinite resistance between the DLC serial data circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If not the specified value, repair the short to ground.
- Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for greater than 100 Ξ© between each serial data circuit and ground.
- If less than the specified range, perform the appropriate test listed below:
- Serial data circuits with one control module, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal replace the control module.
- Serial data circuits with 2 or more control modules, test each section of the serial data circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the control module that causes the short to ground when connected.
Testing the Serial Data Circuit for an Open/High Resistance
- If equipped with a JX 339 splice pack, ignition ON, verify the scan tool communicates with one or more control modules connected to the JX 339 splice pack.
- If all control modules on the JX 339 spice pack do not communicate, test the serial data circuit between the JX 221 and JX 339 splice packs for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test each splice pack for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect one of the harness connectors listed below:
- JX 221 if the control modules not communicating are connected to the JX 221 splice pack
- JX 223 if the control modules not communicating are connected to the JX 223 splice pack, if equipped
- JX 339 if the control modules not communicating are connected to the JX 339 splice pack
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the disconnected splice pack connector terminal listed below and a low speed GMLAN serial data circuit that is not communicating:
- JX 221 terminal D
- JX 223 terminal A
- JX 339 terminal A
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool communicates with the control modules connected to the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
- If any control module does not communicate, test each section of the serial data circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the control module that does not communicate when connected.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
