XL-7 2WD V6-3.6L (2007)
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating
information and commands are exchanged among the modules when the ignition switch is in any position other than OFF. The low speed GMLAN serial
data circuit must be operational for the vehicle to start so the vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) module and body control module (BCM) can communicate.
The low speed GMLAN serial data circuit uses SP 200 as the common connection between the modules and the data link connector (DLC).
Diagnostic Aids
^
Use the [Data Link References] to identify the low speed GMLAN serial data modules.
^
This test is used for a total low speed GMLAN communication failure. If only one module is not communicating and sets no DTC, ensure that the
vehicle is equipped with the module, then use DTC U0100-U0299 for diagnostics.
^
An open in the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit between the splice pack and a module will only effect the specific module. This type of
failure will set a loss of communication DTC for each module effected, and the other modules will still communicate.
^
An open in the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate to set up the vehicle on the tool and then not communicate with
the vehicle. When the scan tool is to the point of communicating with the vehicle, a message on the scan tool will indicate no CANdi module
detected and will not communicate.
^
An open between the DLC and SP 200 will only effect the communication with the scan tool. The vehicle modules will still communicate, and the
vehicle will start.
^
The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The following conditions may cause a total
loss of low speed GMLAN data communication:
^
The low speed GMLAN serial data circuit shorted to ground or voltage.
^
A module internal malfunction that causes a short to voltage or ground on the low speed GMLAN circuit.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
^
If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for open/high resistance.
2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector (splice pack comb) at SP 200. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between pin A and pin M of SP
200, harness side.
3. Ignition ON, with a scan tool, attempt to communicate with the BCM. Communication should be available.
^
If no communication, test the following circuits: serial data circuit for a short to ground, a short to voltage or an open/high resistance between
the BCM and DLC, BCM voltage inputs for open/high resistance or short to ground, BCM grounds for open/high resistance. If the circuits test
normal, replace the BCM.
4. Install another 3-amp fused jumper wire to pin A of SP 200, harness side.
5. Use the other end of the jumper wire to connect all other pins, harness side, one at a time and verify that low speed communication remains
available to the BCM.
^
If low speed communication is interrupted after connecting an individual module at SP 200, test the serial data circuit between SP 200 and the
last module connected for a short to ground and short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the module that caused no communication.
