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 U0144 00 will set when the module does not received periodic messages from the IPM within a predetermined period of time. Loss of communication DTCs normally do not represent a failure within the module that reported them.
