Circuit/System Description

Modules connected to the GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. The modules have programmed information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits. The messages are also supervised and some periodic messages are used by the receiver module as an availability indication of the transmitter module.

DTC U0020 will set when fewer modules are detected on the bus before the modules can learn the other modules IDs. If the communication bus is opened, or if the modules power supply is lost when the vehicle is in the OFF power mode, and then placed in the RUN power mode, U0020 will set in specific modules.
