Testing the Serial Data Circuit for an Open/High Resistance

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Cadillac SRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If equipped with a second splice pack, ignition ON, verify the scan tool communicates with one or more control modules connected to the second splice pack.
    • If all control modules on the second splice pack do not communicate, test the serial data circuit between the first and second splice packs for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test the second splice pack for an open/high resistance. If the splice pack tests normal, replace any module or component that may be between those two splice packs.
  2. If equipped with a third splice pack, ignition ON, verify the scan tool communicates with one or more control modules connected to the third splice pack.
    • If all control modules on the third splice pack do not communicate, test the serial data circuit between the second and third splice packs for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test the third splice pack for an open/high resistance. If the splice pack tests normal, replace any module or component that may be between the those two splice packs.
  3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the splice pack containing the serial data circuits to the modules that are not communicating.
  4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the splice pack connector serial data input terminal and a low speed GMLAN serial data circuit that is not communicating:
  5. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool communicates with the control modules connected to the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
    • If any control module does not communicate, test each section of the serial data circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the control module that does not communicate when connected.
