- If a loss-of-communication U-code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely associated with one of the scenarios above.

These are all temporary conditions and should never be interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.

* A control module may have a U-code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or corrupted messages between

control modules can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does not mean the control module is faulty. Do not replace a

control module based only on a history U-code.

* Do not replace a control module reporting a U-code. The U-code identifies which control module needs to be diagnosed for a communication

issue.

* Communication may be available between the BCM and the scan tool with either the low or high speed GMLAN serial data system

inoperative. This condition is due to the BCM using both the low and high speed GMLAN systems.

* Use Data Link References (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information Bus/Testing and Inspection/Initial

Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) to determine if the control module uses high or low speed GMLAN serial data communications.

* Some control modules may not have internal protection for specific control circuits and may open a B+ or ignition fuse. If a fuse is open and

the B+ or ignition circuit is not shorted to ground, ensure none of the control circuits are shorted to ground before replacing the control

module.

* This diagnostic can be used for any control module that is not communicating, regardless of the type of serial data circuit it is connected to,

providing the vehicle is equipped with the control module.

Circuit/System Verification

Verify that DTC U1814, U2099, B1428, B1370, B1380, B1440, or B1441 is not set.

If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic

Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).

Circuit/System Testing

Danger: Always perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage component or connection. Personal

Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.

The High Voltage Disabling procedure will perform the following tasks:

* Identify how to disable high voltage.

* Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.

* Identify condition under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must

be followed.

Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following Personal Protection Equipment:
