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 to determine if the 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 Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the yaw rate sensor.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the module voltage circuit and ground.
锟斤拷If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the
EBCM.
3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the module ground circuits and ground.
锟斤拷If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
4. If all circuits test normal, replace the yaw rate sensor.
