WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Use the Data Link ReferencesΒ to identify the low speed GMLAN serial data modules.
- This test is used for a total low speed GMLAN communication failure. If only 1 module is not communicating and sets no DTC, ensure that the vehicle is equipped with the module, then use DTC U0100-U0299 for diagnostics.
- An open in the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit between the splice pack and a module will only effect the specific module. This type of failure will set a loss of communication DTC for each module effected, and the other modules will still communicate.
- An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate to set up the vehicle on the tool and then not communicate with the vehicle. When the scan tool is to the point of communicating with the vehicle, a message on the scan tool will indicate "no CANdi module detected" and will not communicate.
- An open between the DLC and C 203 will only effect the communication with the scan tool. The vehicle modules will still communicate, and the vehicle will start.
- The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
The following conditions may cause a total loss of low speed GMLAN data communication:
- The low speed GMLAN serial data circuit shorted to ground or voltage.
- A module internal malfunction that causes a short to voltage or ground on the low speed GMLAN circuit.
- Use the DMM MIN/MAX function to capture/locate intermittent conditions.
