directly to the data link connector (DLC).
Conditions for Running the DTCs
* Supply voltage at the control modules are in the normal operating range.
* The vehicle power mode requires serial data communications.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The control module setting the DTC has attempted to establish communications on the serial data circuits more than 3 times in 5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTCs Sets
* The module suspends all message transmission.
* The module uses default values for all parameters received on the serial data circuits.
* In the TCM, DTC U0073 will cause the transmission to go into default gears.
* In the ECM and TCM, DTC U0073 will cause the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate.
* The module inhibits the setting of all other communication DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The ECM/TCM modules turn OFF the MIL after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
* A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears when the control module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a repeat of the malfunction.
Circuit/System Verification
1. Refer to Data Link References (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information Bus/Testing and
Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) to determine which serial data system is used for a specific control module.
2. This DTC cannot be retrieved with a current status. Diagnosis is accomplished using the symptom Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with
High Speed GMLAN Device (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information Bus/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device) or Scan Tool
Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Information
Bus/Testing and Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with Low Speed GMLAN Device).
