¹ Vehicle will not start. ² History only. If cleared the DTC will return after several ignition cycles. |
The body control module (BCM) activates the serial data communication enable circuit, when the ignition key is in ACC, ON or START. The serial data communication enable circuit wakes up the electronic brake control module (EBCM) for buss communication.
• | The system voltage is between 9-16 volts. |
• | The vehicle power mode master requires serial data communication to occur. |
The BCM senses a short to ground on the serial data communication enable circuit.
• | The output command is turned off while the malfunction is present. |
• | The modules use a default value for the missing parameters until the next ignition cycle. |
• | The module(s) is never signaled, therefore the specific subsystem(s) will not function. |
• | The vehicle will not start while the circuit is shorted to ground. |
• | A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present. |
• | A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction. |
• | Use the DMM MIN/MAX function to capture/locate intermittent conditions. |
• | Short to ground will also set multiple history no communication codes for GMLAN high speed modules. |
Master Electrical Component List
⇒ | If the DTC becomes history, replace the EBCM. |
⇒ | If less than infinite resistance, repair the enable circuit for a short to ground. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
