Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON/Vehicle In Service Mode.
- Refer to Control Module U Code List , and Data Link References to determine the device that is not communicating and its communication protocol.
- Verify the non communicating device is not a LIN device.
- If the device is a LIN device
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Testing a LIN Device .
- Go to next step: If the device is not a LIN device
- If the device is a LIN device
- Ignition/Vehicle OFF, access the Network Communication Status application in scan tool under Vehicle Diagnostics > Vehicle Communication Diagnostics > Network Communication Status.
- Verify one or more CAN devices are not communicating. Refer to Network Communication Status
to determine the CAN devices that are not communicating.
- If only one CAN device is not communicating
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Testing a CAN Device . The possible fault can be device's ground, power, or an open in the CAN serial data circuit between that non communicating device and the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module.
- If two or more CAN devices are not communicating, but not all
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Testing a CAN Device . The possible fault can be an open in the CAN serial data circuit at the non communicating device closet to the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module. Use the schematic for CAN bus being tested to determine the non communicating device closest to the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module.
- If all devices are not communicating
Refer to Circuit/System Testing - Testing a CAN Device . One of the following faults can occur:
- A short to voltage in a CAN serial data circuit.
- A short to ground in a CAN serial data circuit.
- A short together between CAN serial data circuits.
- An open/high resistance in a CAN serial data circuit between the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module and the closet non communicating device if the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module is at one end of the bus. Use the schematic for CAN bus being tested to determine the non communicating device closest to the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module.
- Go to next step: If all CAN devices are communicating
- If only one CAN device is not communicating
- A fault is currently not present and may be an intermittent condition.
