Communications Network (Diagnosis and Testing)

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 14 , Multiplex Communication Network for schematic and connector information.

Special Tool(s)



73 Digital Multimeter or 73 Digital Multimeter or equivalent 105-R0051
Worldwide Diagnostic System Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) 418-F224, New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester 418-F052, or equivalent diagnostic tool

Principles of Operation

The vehicle has two module communications networks. The standard corporate protocol (SCP) which is an unshielded twisted pair cable (data bus plus, Circuit 914 [TN/OG] and data bus minus, Circuit 915 [PK/LB]), and the international standards organization (ISO) 9141 network which is a single wire (Circuit 70 [LB/WH]). The diagnostic tool can connect to both networks through the data link connector (DLC). This makes diagnosis and testing of these systems easier by allowing one smart tester to be able to diagnose and control any module on the two networks from one connector. The DLC can be found under the instrument panel between the steering column and the radio.

The ISO 9141 communication network does not permit inter-module communication. When the diagnostic tool communicates to modules on the ISO 9141 communication network, the diagnostic tool must ask for all information; the modules cannot initiate communications.

The SCP network will remain operational even with the severing of one of the bus wires.

Communications will also continue if one of the bus wires is shorted to ground or battery positive voltage (B+) or if some, but not all, termination resistors are lost.

Unlike the SCP communication network, the ISO 9141 communication network will not function if the wire is shorted to chassis ground or battery positive voltage (B+). Also, if one of the modules on the ISO 9141 network loses power or shorts internally, communications to that module will fail.

The powertrain control module (PCM) is on the SCP communication network. The PCM controls the engine for better fuel economy, emissions control, and failure mode detection and storage. Refer to Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual Section 3 for diagnosis and testing of the PCM.

The restraint control module (RCM) is on the ISO 9141 network. The RCM controls the deployment of the air bags based on sensor input.

The generic electronic module (GEM) is on the ISO 9141 network. The GEM module controls a variety of systems including one touch down windows, wipers, perimeter anti-theft, and warning chimes. For additional information, refer to Section.

The anti-lock brake control module communicates over the ISO 9141 communication network when not equipped with traction control and communicates over the SCP communication network when it is equipped with the traction control option. The anti-lock brake control module controls the brake pressure to the four wheels to keep the vehicle under control while braking. For additional information on anti-lock brake control module without traction control, refer to Section. For additional information on anti-lock brake control module with traction control, refer to Section.

The instrument cluster is on the SCP communication network. The instrument cluster displays driver information. The instrument cluster incorporates the PATS control module functions.

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.

3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from diagnostic tool menu. If diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

  • check that the program card is correctly installed.
  • check that the correct version of the program card is installed.

Pinpoint Tests

CAUTION: Be careful when probing the CJB, battery junction box (BJB) or any connectors. Damage will result to the connector receptacle if the probe or terminal being used is too large.

CAUTION: Electronic modules are sensitive to static electrical charges. If exposed to these charges, damage may result.

NOTE: If DTCs are recorded and the symptom is not present when carrying out the pinpoint tests, an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded pins.
