DTC U1000: Class-2 Communication Data Link Malfunction

  1. Perform VEHICLE ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If body control module diagnostic system check has been performed, go to next step.
  2. Observe scan tool display for DTC U1000. If scan tool displays LAST TEST FAILED for DTC U1000, go to next step. If scan tool does not display LAST TEST FAILED for DTC U1000, problem is intermittent. Check for open or poor connection in serial data line (Purple wire). See DATA LINK CONNECTORS article in WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as necessary and retest operation.
