DTC U1301: Class 2 Data Link High: Description
Modules connected to the class 2 serial data line monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged between modules. In addition, node alive (state of health) messages are transmitted by each module on the class 2 serial data line about once every 2 seconds.

DTC U1301 will set if no valid class 2 messages are detected on class 2 serial data circuit, voltage level detected on the class 2 serial data circuit is high. Conditions must be met for approximately three seconds. A current DTC U1301 will clear when a valid class 2 message is detected on serial data line or at the end of the current ignition cycle. A history DTC U1301 can only be cleared using scan tool.
