Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) activates the serial data communication enable circuit, when the ignition key is in ACC, ON or START. The serial data communication enable circuit wakes up the control modules for serial data buss communication.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The system voltage is between 9-16 volts.

•	The vehicle power mode master requires serial data communication to occur.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM senses a short to ground on the serial data communication enable circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	The output command is turned off while the malfunction is present.

•	The control modules use a default value for the missing parameters until the next ignition cycle.

•	The control module(s) is never signalled, therefore the specific subsystem(s) will not function.

•	The vehicle will not start while the circuit is shorted to ground.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.

•	A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

•	Use the DMM MIN/MAX function to capture/locate intermittent conditions.

•	Short to ground will also set multiple history no communication codes for GMLAN high speed modules.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: Use the schematic to determine which control modules are on the BCM communications enable circuit 23, X4.

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the most easily accessible control module on the K9 BCM communication enable circuit.
Ignition ON, retest for current DTCs. DTC U2099 should remain current.

⇒	If the DTC becomes history, replace the control module that was just disconnected.

With the prior control modules disconnected, repeat steps 1 and 2 for each control module on the circuit except the K9 BCM.
Ignition OFF, disconnect the X4 harness connector at the K9 BCM.
Test for infinite resistance between the serial data communication enable circuit terminal 23 X4 and ground.

⇒	If less than infinite resistance, repair the communication enable circuit for a short to ground.

If all circuits tests normal, replace the K9 BCM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
