Circuit Description
The Class 2 serial data line allows all the modules on the line to transmit information to each other as needed. Each module is assigned an ID and all the information sent out on the line is assigned a priority by which it is received. When the ignition switch is turned to the run position each module begins to send and receive information. Each module on the Class 2 serial data line knows what information it needs to send out and what information it should be receiving. What the modules do not know is which module is supposed to send them the information. This information is only learned after the module has received the information it needs along with the ID of the module that sent the information. This information is then remembered until the ignition switch is truned off.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. Failure to carefully and fully inspect the wiring and the connectors can result in misdiagnosis. Misdiagnosis may cause replacement of parts without repairing the malfunction. |
| • | If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in wiring system. |
