ISO 9141 Communications Network
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ISO 9141 communications network is a single wire network. The ISO 9141 communications network does not permit intermodule communication. When the scan tool communicates to modules on the ISO 9141 communications network, the scan tool must request all information; the modules cannot initiate communications. The ISO 9141 network operates at a maximum data transfer speed of 10.4 Kbps.
The following fault chart describes the specific ISO 9141 network failures and their resulting symptom:

| ISO circuit open | No communication |
| ISO circuit short to voltage | No communication |
| ISO circuit short to ground | No communication |
| Module loss of voltage or ground | No communication |
