Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a standardized 16 cavity connector.
Connector design and location is dictated by an industry wide standard, and
is required to provide the following:
| • | Scan tool power battery positive voltage at terminal 16. |
| • | Scan tool power ground at terminal 4. |
| • | Common signal ground at terminal 5. |
| • | Class 2 signal at terminal 2. |
Class 2 Serial Data Link
The data link is configured as a ring with discrete lines entering
and leaving each module. This allows communications to the modules on the
ring if one of the two discrete circuits is open.
A total list of the control modules on the Class 2 Serial Data
Line can include the following:
| • | Dash Integration Module (DIM) |
| • | Driver Door Module (DDM) |
| • | Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) |
| • | Head Up Display (HUD) w/UV6 |
| • | HVAC Control Module w/C67 |
| • | Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) |
| • | Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) |
| • | Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM) w/CJ2 |
| • | Memory Seat Module (MSM) w/A45 |
| • | Powertrain Control Module (PCM) |
| • | Rear Integration Module (RIM) |
| • | Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) |
| • | Remote Playback Device - CD Changer w/U1S |
| • | Theft Deterrent Control Module |
| • | Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) w/UE1 |
The following modules have only one communication line connection to
the Class 2 data circuit:
| • | Driver Door Module (DDM) |
| • | Memory Seat Module (MSM) w/A45 |
| • | Vehicle Interface Unit (VIU) w/UE1 |
Power Door Serial Data Line
Power door serial data does not communicate with the scan tool via the
DLC. Power door serial data information is interpreted by the driver door
module (DDM) and transmitted on the Class 2 data link by the
DDM.
Power door serial data is used for serial data communication between
the four door modules as well as the driver door switch assembly (DDSA).
