Circuit Description

The Class-II serial data line is used to communicate information between modules. Each module connected to the serial data line is assigned its own recognition code (address). This DTC is used to identify which modules are communicating. Modules communicate with each other by periodically sending State Of Health (SOH) messages.

When ignition switch is in RUN position, each module communicating on the serial data line sends a SOH message every 2 seconds (one second for PCM) to ensure that system is operating properly. When the Dash Integration Module (DIM) stops communicating on the Class-II serial data line, such as DIM losing power or ground, the SOH message it normally sends on the serial data line every 2 seconds disappears. The module which expects to receive that SOH message detects its absence and sets an internal DTC U1064 associated with the loss of SOH of the DIM, which is no longer communicating on the Class-II serial data line.

Conditions of setting DTC:

• Module does not receive SOH message back from DIM in 5 seconds.
• This DTC only sets if RIM DTC B1327, B1328, U1300, U1301 or IPM DTC B1982, B1983, U1300, U1301 is not current in module memory.
