Circuit Description
The class 2 serial data line communicates information between modules. Each module connected to the serial data line is assigned a recognition code, or address. This code is used in order to identify which modules are communicating. Module communicate with each other by periodically sending state of health (SOH) messages. When the ignition switch is in RUN, each module communicating on the serial data line sends a SOH message every 2 seconds. This ensures that the system is operating properly. When the continuously variable road sensing suspension (CVRSS) module stops communicating on the Class 2 serial data line, the SOH that is normally sent on the serial data line every 2 seconds disappears. The module that should receive the message detects the absence of the message. The module in turn sets DTC U1056.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The module does not receive SOH message back from the CVRSS. |
| The module retries the request 3 times, and then sets DTC U1056. |
| • | This DTC only sets if U1300 or U1301 are not current. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | DTC U1056 is stored in the module. |
| • | The module uses the default values for the initialization data. |
| • | This DTC does not cause driver warning message to appear. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | This DTC clears (the status changes from current to history) under any of the following conditions: |
| - | The module detects a SOH message from the CVRSS. |
| - | At each ignition cycle. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
| • | Current and history DTCs may be cleared using a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | DTC U1056 does not normally represent a failure within the module. |
| • | When loss of class 2 serial data communication DTCs (DTCs with a letter U prefix ) are stored as history, know all of the possible serial data DTCs set in each module before diagnosing the serial data line. |
| • | If U1056 is stored in the module memory, inspect for the same DTC stored in other modules capable of storing this DTC. |
| • | If the DTC is a history DTC, the problem may be intermittent. |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:
-
U1056 is the result of loss of communication with the CVRSS module. Note that other modules on the Class 2 serial data line may also set U1056 if the CVRSS is not communicating with the serial data line.
-
Clear all DTCs after the repair procedure is complete.
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Did you perform the Data Link Communications Diagnostic System Check? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
2 | Use a scan tool in order to attempt to establish communication with the continuously variable road sensing suspension (CVRSS) module. Does the scan tool communicate with the CVRSS? | -- | Go to Step 3 | Go to Road Sensing Suspension Diagnostic System Check in Suspension |
3 | Inspect and repair the class 2 serial data line CKT 1807 (PPL) for intermittent connections. Is the repair complete? | -- | Go to Step 4 | -- |
4 |
Are all of the DTCs cleared? | -- | -- |
