CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information
and commands are exchanged among the modules. In addition to this, Node Alive messages are transmitted by each module on the class 2 serial data
circuit about once every 2 seconds. When the module detects the class 2 serial data circuit shorted, the setting of all other class 2 serial communication
DTCs is inhibited and a U1300, U1301, or a U1305 DTC will set.
