Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Canyon and 2010 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Use the schematic to identify the following:

Control modules the vehicle is equipped with
Control module locations on the class 2 serial data circuit
The class 2 serial data circuit terminals for each control module

Attempt to communicate with all control modules on the class 2 serial data circuit, refer to Data Link References . Communications should not be available with two or more control modules on the class 2 serial data circuit.
- If only one control module is not communicating, diagnose that control module only; refer to DTC U1001-U1254 .
- If one or more control modules are communicating but not all, refer to Testing the Serial Data Circuit for an Open/High Resistance in Circuit/System Testing .
Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC. The following tests will be done at the DLC connector.
All access doors closed, ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
Ignition ON, test for less than 4.5 V between the serial data circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage; refer to Testing the Serial Data Circuit for a Short to Voltage.
Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for greater than 100 Ω between the serial data circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground; refer to Testing the Serial Data Circuit for a Short to ground.
Disconnect the appropriate harness connector at the BCM.
Test for less than 2 Ω between the DLC serial data circuit terminal 2 and the BCM connector.
- If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.

Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short to Voltage

Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate harness connectors at the BCM.
Ignition ON, test for less than 4.5 V between the DLC serial data circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, repair the short to voltage.
Test for less than 4.5 V between each serial data circuit at the BCM connectors and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, perform the appropriate test listed below:

Serial data circuits with one control module, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
Serial data circuits with 2 or more control modules, test each section of the serial data circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the control module that causes the short to voltage when connected.

Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short to Ground

Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate harness connectors at the BCM.
Test for infinite resistance between the DLC serial data circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If not the specified value, repair the short to ground.
Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for greater than 100 Ω between each serial data circuit at the BCM connectors and ground.
- If less than the specified range, perform the appropriate test listed below:

Serial data circuits with one control module, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
Serial data circuits with 2 or more control modules, test each section of the serial data circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the control module that causes the short to ground when connected.

Testing the Serial Data Circuit for an Open/High Resistance

Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate harness connectors at the BCM.
Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the disconnected BCM connector DLC terminal and a class 2 serial data circuit that is not communicating.
Ignition ON, verify the scan tool communicates with the control modules connected to the class 2 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.
