Circuit Description
Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial
data communications during normal vehicle operation.  Operating information
         and commands are exchanged among the modules.  In addition to this,
   Node      Alive  (State of Health) messages are transmitted by each module
   on the    class   2 serial  data circuit about once every two seconds.
  When   the module    detects   no messages  and a low voltage on the class
 2 serial   data circuit    for approximately   three  seconds, U1300 is set.
 The setting   of all other    class 2 serial  communication   DTCs is inhibited.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Voltage supplied to the module is in the normal operating voltage
range (approximately 9 - 16 volts). | 
| • | The vehicle power mode (ignition switch position) requires serial
data communication to occur. | 
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | No valid messages are detected on the class 2 serial data circuit. | 
| • | The voltage level detected on the class 2 serial data circuit
is low. | 
| • | The above conditions are met for approximately three seconds. | 
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The module inhibits the setting of all other class 2 DTCs. | 
| • | The module uses default values for all parameters received on
the class 2 serial data circuit. | 
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A U1300 will clear when a valid class 2 message is detected on
the class 2 serial data circuit or at the end of the current ignition cycle. | 
| • | A history U1300 will clear upon receipt of a scan tool Clear DTCs
command. |
