Refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

With the ignition ON, the BCM sends messages to the SASM over the HS-CAN. If the SASM does not receive these messages within the specified time frame, the module sets a DTC. This can be due to a BCM failure, a circuit failure on the HS-CAN or an excessive load on the network. For information on the cruise control messages sent to the SASM by the BCM, REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description .
