the Data Link Connector (DLC). This makes diagnosis and testing these systems easier by allowing one smart tester to be able to diagnose and control
any module on the two networks from one connector. The DLC can be found under the instrument panel between the steering column and the radio.
The ISO 9141 communication network does not permit intermodule communication. When the scan tool communicates to modules on the ISO 9141
communication network, the scan tool must ask for all information; the modules cannot initiate communications.
The SCP communication network will remain operational even with the severing of one of the bus wires. Communications will also continue if one of the
bus wires is shorted to ground or battery positive voltage (B +), or if some but not all termination resistors are lost.
Unlike the SCP communication network, the ISO 9141 communication network will not function if the wire is shorted to ground or battery positive
voltage (B+). Also, if one of the modules on the ISO 9141 communication network loses power or shorts internally, communications to that module will
fail.
The Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) is connected to the ISO 9141 communication network. The ECS controls the deployment of the air bags based on
sensor input. For additional information, refer to Air Bag Systems.
The Driver Door Module (DDM) is connected to the SCP communication network. The module controls many functions including power windows,
power locks and keyless remote entry.
The Lighting Control Module (LCM) is connected to the SCP communication network. The LCM controls both interior and exterior lighting, anti-theft
functions and warning chimes. For additional information on interior lighting, refer to Lighting and Horns. For additional information on exterior
lighting, refer to Lighting and Horns. For additional information on anti-theft, refer to Antitheft and Alarm Systems. For additional information on
warning chimes, refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
The Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) module is connected to the SCP communication network. The EATC module controls
automatic climate functions that maintain the vehicle at a constant temperature setting. For additional information, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is connected to the SCP communication network. The PCM controls the engine performance, electronic
ignition, emission controls and on-board diagnostics. For additional information, refer to Symptom Charts in the Computers and Control Systems.
The Natural Gas Vehicle Module (NGVM) calculates fuel level based on inputs from the fuel tank pressure sensor and the fuel tank temperature sensor.
The NGVM then provides a voltage signal to the instrument cluster to drive the fuel gauge. The NGVM also has separate injector drivers to run the
injectors at the higher operating pressure of natural gas. The NGVM does not perform any calculations for this function; calibration for the injectors is
maintained in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). For additional information, refer to Pinpoint Tests in Computers and Control Systems.
The anti-lock brake control module is connected to the SCP communication network. The module controls the brake pressure to the four wheels to keep
the vehicle under control while braking. For additional information, refer to Antilock Brake System.
The Passive Anti-theft System (PATS) module is on the SCP communication network. The PATS module communicates with the PCM to disable and
start the vehicle based on a signal received from an encoded ignition key signal. For additional information on anti-theft, refer to Antitheft and Alarm
Systems.
