WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    IMPORTANT: If more than one module is not communicating use Data Communication Schematics  to determine which module is closest to the DLC. Start diagnostics with that module.
  1. Using the DTC Descriptor and Diagnostic Aids above, determine the module that is not communicating that should be tested.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the module that is not communicating.
    3. IMPORTANT: Only the high speed GMLAN modules have a wired serial data wake up circuit. Refer to the module schematics to identify which modules have a wake up circuit. If the module that is not communicating does not have a serial data wake up circuit, proceed to step 4.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the high speed GMLAN serial data wake up circuit OR the accessory wake up serial data circuit and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between all battery positive voltage circuits and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.
  5. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between all ignition voltage circuits and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.
  6. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the module ground circuits and ground.
    • If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open.
  7. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance in the GMLAN serial data circuit(s) between the non-communicating module and the module that displays the DTC.
    • If greater than 1 ohm of resistance, test the GMLAN serial data circuit(s) for open/high resistance.
  8. 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:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
