Circuit/System Description

Modules connected to the high and low speed 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 prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are used by the receiver module as an availability indication of the transmitter module. Each message contains the identification number of the transmitter module.

The serial data gateway (SDG) module translates serial data messages between the high speed GMLAN serial data bus, the low speed GMLAN serial data bus, and the high speed hybrid GMLAN serial data bus. Messages between the drive motor generator battery control module and the other hybrid system control modules must pass thru the SDG module. Only the modules using high speed GMLAN serial data are connected to the enable or wake up circuits. Refer to the schematics to determine which modules activate and are activated using the enable or wake up circuits. DTC U1888 is set by the drive motor generator battery control module, but is stored in and reported by the hybrid powertrain control modul
