WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Savana Special, 2007 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2007 GMC Savana, 2007 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 2007 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If U1064 is set in the ECM, attempt to communicate with the BCM. Communication should not be available.
- If the BCM can communicate, test the Class 2 serial data circuit from the ECM for open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
- Using the DTC Descriptor and Diagnostic Aids above, determine the module that is not communicating that should be tested.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the module that is not communicating.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between all battery positive voltage circuits and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, also test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between all ignition voltage circuits and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, also test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the module ground circuits and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, repair the ground circuit for an open.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance in the Class 2 serial data circuit between the non-communicating module and the module that displays the DTC.
- If greater than 1 ohm of resistance, test the Class 2 serial data circuit for open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the module that is not communicating.

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.
