Circuit Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Cadillac Catera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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. Connecting a scan tool to the DLC allows communication with the modules for diagnostic purposes

The diagnostic procedure assumes that all modules are powered. When you are uncertain whether this condition is met, perform the Diagnostic System Check for the module in question. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may be set due to this symptom and during this diagnostic procedure. Complete the diagnostic procedure in order to ensure all the DTCs are diagnosed and cleared from memory
