Circuit/System Description

The active noise cancellation system uses four microphones in the vehicle headliner: one above each front
seating position, and two above the rear seats. The Audio Amplifier/Active Noise Cancellation Module provides
a bias voltage to each microphone (+) and (-) signal circuits for operation of the microphone. The microphones
monitor the vehicle cabin for undesirable engine sounds. The Audio Amplifier uses the microphone inputs and
an engine RPM signal to determine the frequency of the undesirable sound.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The entertainment system on this vehicle may have several different configurations. To determine the specific
configuration of the vehicle, please see the Service Parts ID Label, and refer to RPO Code List .

The main components of the Active Noise Cancellation system are:

• Microphones in the vehicle headliner. Use schematics to determine the number of microphones in each
vehicle.
• A discrete engine speed (RPM) signal from the engine control module to the amplifier/active noise
cancellation module.

9 of 10
• Active Noise Cancellation electronics and software integrated into the audio amplifier/active noise
cancellation module.
• The vehicle speaker system, connected to the amplifier/active noise cancellation module, to output the
desired cancellation frequencies.

The Active Noise Cancellation system is operational under the following conditions:

• The amplifier/active noise cancellation module has passed all self diagnostic checks
• All doors are closed
• Battery voltage is between 9.5 V and 16 V
• The vehicle cabin temperature is less than 140°F (60°C)
• Engine speed is between 550 and 3000 RPM

The Active Noise Cancellation system is a method used to reduce the perception of certain undesirable sounds
generated by the engine into the vehicle cabin. The systems uses microphone and engine speed signals, software
integrated into the amplifier/active noise cancellation module, and the vehicle speakers to determine and
generate the correct frequencies needed to achieve the desired reduction.

The microphones are located in the headliner to monitor noise/sounds in the vehicle cabin, and are directly
connected to the amplifier/active noise cancellation module. The amplifier/active noise cancellation module
also receives a discrete engine speed (RPM) signal from the engine control module. The amplifier/active noise
cancellation module processes these inputs to determine the frequency of the undesirable sound. The
amplifier/active noise cancellation module then calculates the appropriate cancellation frequency and outputs a
cancellation signal (audio tone) to the vehicle speakers to reduce the perception of undesirable sounds by the
vehicle occupants so the vehicle cabin appears quieter and without vibration.

ESE Engine Sound Enhancement (if equipped with NKD)

The ESE feature improves the natural sounds of powertrain and exhaust systems. It uses the microphones and
tachometer inputs (under heavy acceleration conditions) to modify the sound and play it back through the
speakers. This feature is always enabled and there are no controls to enable or disable the system.

Circuit/System Description

The Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is a high-speed multimedia network technology. The serial MOST
bus uses a ring topology and synchronous data communication to transmit audio, video, data and control information
between any devices attached.

The audio amplifier is a participant on the MOST network. The audio amplifier receives audio inputs and control
information from the MOST bus.

Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the audio amplifier have a DC bias voltage that is
approximately one half of the battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output channel circuits will
measure approximately 6.5V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC voltage that is
centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move
and produce sound.

Diagnostic Aids

• Improper speaker mounting or loose trim may cause an audible buzz or distortion. Inspect the appropriate
speaker and the surrounding interior trim for proper and secure mounting.

The EL-50334-6 Audio System Diagnostic CD contains audio tracks that can be used to duplicate and isolate
such concerns. Tracks 11 and 12 contain audio sweep tones for testing for speaker and grill rattles.

If the speaker or surrounding interior trim is found to be loose or improperly secured, correctly secure the item.

9 of 177
• The test tones on the CD may be copied to a USB drive or other device to use during testing.
• Some audio output circuits are connected to more than one speaker, defendant on vehicle equipment. It may be
necessary to disconnect one or more speakers during testing of some circuits.

Circuit/System Description

The infotainment system has a auxiliary jack and USB receptacle assembly. The auxiliary jack and USB receptacle
assembly receives fused battery voltage and ground from the harness to power the internal hub device as well as
providing additional amperage to power USB devices. The internal hub device interfaces directly with the radio via a
standard USB cable.

Auxiliary Audio Input Jack (if equipped)

When a portable audio playback device is connected to the 3. 5 mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack an internal
switch opens the detection signal circuit. The radio detects the device and AUX becomes available as an audio
source. Audio signals from the device are sent to the radio from the auxiliary input jack via the left, right, and
common audio signal circuits.

12 of 177
USB Port

The USB receptacle interfaces directly with the radio via a standard USB cable. A Mini type USB connector is used
to connect the cable at the radio and at the auxiliary jack and USB receptacle assembly. USB male to female
connections are typically used for connecting USB cables together where an in-line connection is required. An in-
line cable connection is typically found between the console and I/P harness.

The USB port allows connectivity to the infotainment system from portable media players or a USB storage device
(memory stick/ flash drive). When a device is connected to the USB port, the system detects the device and USB
becomes available as an audio source. Once connected, the device can be controlled from the radio controls.

Not all portable media player devices or file types are compatible. Refer to the owner's manual for information on
USB devices, control, and operation.

Refer to the owner manual for information on the Navigation system.

Circuit/System Description

The antenna amplifier receives both AM and FM signals from the antenna. The radio antenna amplifier is enabled
when the radio is turned on. The radio provides battery voltage to the antenna amplifier using the center conductor of
the antenna coaxial cable. When a 12 V signal is seen by the amplifier on the center conductor of the antenna coax,
both AM and FM signals are amplified.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Ignition ON/Vehicle in Service Mode.


• Battery voltage must be between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B125A 02

The radio detects a short to ground in the antenna signal circuit center conductor.

The radio detects an open in the antenna signal circuit center conductor.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Radio reception may be poor or not available.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

17 of 177
• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
• A history DTC will clears after 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

Poor AM and FM radio reception may be due to multiple influences, some of which may not be vehicle related.
Areas which have high RF traffic or block the signal path may cause a degradation in radio reception. Radio
reception may also be influenced by items within the vehicle, but not part of the radio system. Such examples are
aftermarket electrical accessories or other items which may generate noise in the vehicle electrical system.
Aftermarket window tinting, especially when there is a metallic in the film, may reduce radio reception.

AM reception is highly dependent on the antenna amplifier receiving battery voltage from the radio and being
properly grounded. The antenna amplifier boosts both AM and FM reception. When the antenna amplifier does not
receive power, AM stations may not be received and FM reception will be limited. If the amplifier is not properly
grounded, excessive interference in the signal may occur, or reception may be limited.

DTC Descriptor

DTC B127E 00

Front Video Display Output Signal - General failure

DTC B127E 06

Front Video Display Output Signal - Short to ground or open

Circuit/System Description

The infotainment display and controls are a separate component from the radio, combined into an assembly. The
assembly is supplied battery voltage and ground from the vehicle harness. The radio communicates digital video data
for on-screen display through a dedicated cable containing the LVDS data circuits.

Control information, touch communications and dimming level for the display are communicated via a LIN serial
data circuit to the radio.

35 of 177
If the radio detects the display is not responding to the output on the LVDS circuits, the radio sets the DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

Malfunctions may include a flickering or distorted image or a blank screen.

A momentary spike in volume upon start up may be due to the radio accessing the guest profile before switching to
an established customer user profile. The radio will remember the set volume level the last time it was shut down in
the guest profile mode, which is a normal operating characteristic. To alleviate the issues turn the radio on and
proceed to the guest profile. Turn the volume level down to a lower level and power down the vehicle, the radio will
retain the lower volume level upon the next start up.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Ignition is ON or in the ACC position


• The system voltage is 9-16 V
• The infotainment system is ON
• The test is continuously when the infotainment system is operating

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The radio detects the display is not responding to the output on the LVDS circuits.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The radio sets this DTC


• No images are shown on the Info Display Module

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The radio detects a properly synced digital video signal.


• A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

1. No or reduced audio from speaker (s) on the affected audio circuit.
2. Noticeable audio distortion may be present.

Circuit/System Description

The telematics communication interface control module utilizes the vehicles infotainment systems speaker to
broadcast audio in the case of emergency road assistance. In the event the infotainment system becomes inoperable
there is an emergency backup speaker connected directly to the telematics communication interface control module.
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the telematics communication interface control module have
a DC bias voltage that is approximately one half of battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output
channel circuits will measure approximately 6. 5 V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a
varying AC voltage that is centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes
the speaker cone to move and produce sound. The frequency (Hz) of the AC voltage signal is directly related to the
frequency of the input. Both the DC bias voltage and the AC voltage signals are needed for the system to properly
produce sound.

source. Audio signals from the device are sent to the radio from the auxiliary input jack via the left, right, and
common audio signal circuits.

USB Port

The USB receptacle interfaces directly with the radio via a standard USB cable. A Mini type USB connector is used
to connect the cable at the radio and at the auxiliary jack and USB receptacle assembly. USB male to female
connections are typically used for connecting USB cables together where an in-line connection is required. An in-
line cable connection is typically found between the console and I/P harness.

The USB port allows connectivity to the infotainment system from portable media players or a USB storage device
(memory stick/ flash drive). When a device is connected to the USB port, the system detects the device and USB
becomes available as an audio source. Once connected, the device can be controlled from the radio controls.

Not all portable media player devices or file types are compatible. Refer to the owner's manual for information on
USB devices, control, and operation.

Refer to the owner manual for information on the Navigation system.

Diagnostic Instructions

• Perform the Diagnostic System Check prior to using this diagnostic procedure: Diagnostic System Check -
Vehicle
• Review the description of Strategy Based Diagnosis: Strategy Based Diagnosis
• An overview of each diagnostic category can be found here: Diagnostic Procedure Instructions

Circuit/System Description

An infotainment CAN bus is used to monitor for serial data communications between the A11 Radio and the S165
Infotainment Control Switch during normal vehicle operation. The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that
allow speeds up to 2 Mbit/s. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 Ω resistors, one is internal to the A11 Radio
and the other is internal to the S165 Infotainment Control Switch. The resistors are used as the load for the
infotainment CAN bus during normal vehicle operation. The infotainment CAN bus is a differential bus. The
infotainment CAN serial data [+] and infotainment CAN serial data [-] circuits are driven to opposite extremes from
a rest or idle level of approximately 2.5 V. Driving the lines to their extremes, adds 1 V to the infotainment CAN
serial data [+] circuit and subtracts 1 V from the infotainment CAN serial data [-] circuit. If serial data is lost, devices
will set a no communication code against the non-communicating device. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does

Diagnostic Instructions

• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The infotainment display and controls are a separate component from the radio, combined into an assembly. The
assembly is supplied battery voltage and ground from the vehicle harness. The radio communicates digital video data
for on-screen display through a dedicated cable containing the LVDS data circuits.

Control information, touch communications and dimming level for the display are communicated via a LIN serial
data circuit to the radio.

Diagnostic Aids

Malfunctions may include a flickering or distorted image or a blank screen.

A momentary spike in volume upon start up may be due to the radio accessing the guest profile before switching to
an established customer user profile. The radio will remember the set volume level the last time it was shut down in
the guest profile mode, which is a normal operating characteristic. To alleviate the issues turn the radio on and

96 of 177
proceed to the guest profile. Turn the volume level down to a lower level and power down the vehicle, the radio will
retain the lower volume level upon the next start up.

1. May exhibit possible AM/FM interference.

Circuit/System Description

The antenna amplifier receives both AM and FM signals from the antenna. The radio antenna amplifier is enabled
when the radio is turned on. The radio provides battery voltage to the antenna amplifier using the center conductor of
the antenna coaxial cable. When a 12 V signal is seen by the amplifier on the center conductor of the antenna coax,
both AM and FM signals are amplified.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Ignition ON/Vehicle in Service Mode.


• Battery voltage must be between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B125A 02

The radio detects a short to ground in the antenna signal circuit center conductor.

B125A 04

The radio detects an open in the antenna signal circuit center conductor.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Radio reception may be poor or not available.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.


• A history DTC will clears after 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

Poor AM and FM radio reception may be due to multiple influences, some of which may not be vehicle related.
Areas which have high RF traffic or block the signal path may cause a degradation in radio reception. Radio
reception may also be influenced by items within the vehicle, but not part of the radio system. Such examples are
aftermarket electrical accessories or other items which may generate noise in the vehicle electrical system.
Aftermarket window tinting, especially when there is a metallic in the film, may reduce radio reception.

AM reception is highly dependent on the antenna amplifier receiving battery voltage from the radio and being
properly grounded. The antenna amplifier boosts both AM and FM reception. When the antenna amplifier does not
receive power, AM stations may not be received and FM reception will be limited. If the amplifier is not properly
grounded, excessive interference in the signal may occur, or reception may be limited.

Circuit/System Description

The Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is a high-speed multimedia network technology. The serial MOST
bus uses a ring topology and synchronous data communication to transmit audio, video, data and control information

102 of 177
between any devices attached.

The audio amplifier is a participant on the MOST network. The audio amplifier receives audio inputs and control
information from the MOST bus.

Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the audio amplifier have a DC bias voltage that is
approximately one half of the battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output channel circuits will
measure approximately 6. 5V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC voltage that is
centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move
and produce sound.

Diagnostic Aids

• Improper speaker mounting or loose trim may cause an audible buzz or distortion. Inspect the appropriate
speaker and the surrounding interior trim for proper and secure mounting.

The EL-50334-6 Audio System Diagnostic CD contains audio tracks that can be used to duplicate and isolate
such concerns. Tracks 11 and 12 contain audio sweep tones for testing for speaker and grill rattles.

If the speaker or surrounding interior trim is found to be loose or improperly secured, correctly secure the item.

• The test tones on the CD may be copied to a USB drive or other device to use during testing.
• Some audio output circuits are connected to more than one speaker, defendant on vehicle equipment. It may be
necessary to disconnect one or more speakers during testing of some circuits.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION (AND SD CARD ERRORS)

For issues with the Navigation system follow the steps below before proceeding to the error code chart:

• Verify the radio has the latest software installed


• Verify the SD Card is fully installed and seated into the SD Card slot
• Verify the SD Card installed in the vehicle has the correct region and part number
• Verify nothing is plugged into any of the infotainment USB ports. An unapproved device or cable could cause
false error codes to set.
• Check for DTC's, if any are present diagnose those first Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
• Test the X83 Auxiliary Audio Input, and if equipped the X92 USB Receptacle with a compatible USB device
for audio playback.

If no audio is heard refer to Auxiliary Audio Input Malfunction

• Ensure the SD Card is not removed with the ignition ON, this can corrupt the SD Card and cause navigation
related errors. Only remove the card with the key off and the driver's door open, which will cancel Retained
Accessory Power.
• Ensure that SD Cards are not swapped from vehicle to vehicle, SD Cards are VIN specific.
• If the Read/Write (Lock) switch on the side of the SD card is in the incorrect position any of the following
notification messages may repetitively appear on the instrument cluster driver information center (DIC) and/or
the radio display- "SD Card Error - Launch Nav on Radio for details" or "Nav SD Card Message - Once
initialized, this NAV SD card can only be used for navigation in this vehicle" or "Navigation Service Expired"
and a loss of the current navigation route may be experienced if the ignition is cycled. If the switch is in the
Read-only/locked (down) position then this may be the reason for the messages. The switch needs to be placed
in the Write/unlocked position (up towards the contacts). After placing the switch in the correct position, re-
insert the SD card, wait for the vehicle go to sleep, and verify the condition is no longer present. Be careful to
insert the SD card straight on into the slot, if inserted from the side the switch may contact the side of the slot
and dislodge it from the Write/unlocked position. Be sure to emphasize to the customer the SD card should not
be removed from the SD card slot.

In the event of an error code being displayed on the Radio Information Display the information below can assist in
diagnosing the issue

The following is an example of how to analyze the error code:

Example error code: 0x1. 9845. 9876. 1123. 9876

• 0x1 - Error code (see reference table)


• 9845 - Last 4 digits of originally paired VIN or "0x" if the value is null
• 9876 - Last 4 digits of originally paired SD Card ID or "0x" if value is null
• 1123 - Last 4 digits of currently obtained VIN or "0x" if the value is null

112 of 177

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


ONSTAR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (UI3)

The Emergency Road Assistance Global Navigation Satellite System (ERA GLONASS) consists of the following
components:

• Telematics communication interface control module


• Telematics two button assembly
• Microphone
• Cellular antenna
• GPS antenna
• Back up battery
• Backup speaker

142 of 177
This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.

Telematics Communication Interface Control Module

The ERA Glonass system uses Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) to communicate data and voice
signals over the national cellular network. The module is capable of up to 3G speeds and houses 2 technology
systems, one to process Global Positioning System (GPS/Glonass) data, and another for cellular information.

The telematics communication interface control module has two antenna inputs, a cellular signal and a GPS/Glonass
signal. The ERA Glonass system uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which is a combination of
United States Global Positioning System (GPS) signals and Russian Glonass satellite system. GPS/Glonass signals
are used to provide location on demand.

Dedicated circuits are used to connect the telematics communication interface control module to a microphone,
button assembly, radio, backup speaker and Back Up Battery (BUB). The telematics communication interface control
module communicates with the rest of the vehicle over the single wired low speed CAN bus. Power is provided by a
dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached to the module. The
power mode state is determined by the telematics communication interface control module through serial data
messaging. The telematics communication interface control module will power down 3 seconds after the button
assembly LED shuts off.

ERA Glonass Two Button Assembly

The two button assembly may be part of the rear view mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button assembly is
comprised of 2 buttons and one status LED. The buttons are defined as follows:

The "SOS" button, when pressed allows the user to start a manual emergency call.
The TEST button, which has two functions. First it allows the user to cancel an emergency call before the call
has been established with the call center. Second, if pressed longer than 4 seconds allows the user to enter the
system test mode.

When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the
telematics communication interface control module on the keypad signal circuit. Depending on the voltage range
returned the module is able to identify which button has been pressed.

The status LED is located near the buttons on the button assembly. The LED is green when the system is ON and
operating normally. When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. When the LED is
illuminated and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress. In the event there is a malfunction and the
system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call however, the call functionally might be
limited related to the issue that is present. During night mode the module provides a PWM signal to dim the
brightness of the LED.

When the "SOS" button is pressed the LED will start blinking green and a voice prompt will instruct the customer to
either press the "SOS" button again to continue with the emergency call, or press the "TEST" button to cancel. If the
user does not press either of the buttons in a certain amount of time the module will go back into standby mode and
inform the customer via a voice prompt.

In the case of a callback from the call center the LED will be solid red or green. A solid red LED indicates an
emergency call related DTC has been set by the telematics communication interface control module, otherwise the
LED will be solid green.

After a call to the call center the module will stay in callback mode for 20 minutes with the ignition ON of OFF and
the LED will be on solid during this time. After 20 minutes there will be a voice prompt and the LED will turn off.
After that the module will stay registered to the network for an additional 100 minutes.

143 of 177
ERA Glonass Test Mode

After entering Test Mode the telematics communication interface control module will test the functionally of the
keypad, LED indicator, microphone, and audio. At the end of Test Mode the module will send a Minimum Set of
Data (MSD) message to the call center.

The MSD message contains control data, vehicle information, direction, position and time. When an emergency call
is connected to the call center the MSD message is sent by in-band transmission by default. In the event in-band
transmission is unsuccessful, Short Message Service (SMS) will be used as a backup.

To enter the Test Mode turn ignition ON and make sure the vehicle has not moved for at least 1 minute, then press
and hold the TEST button for longer than 4 seconds. A series of voice prompts will instruct the user to perform
certain functions. At the end of Test Mode one of two messages will be played, TEST OK or Emergency Call System
Test Indicates a Failure.

Microphone

The microphone is located in the headliner or roof console. The telematics communication interface control module
supplies approximately 10V to the microphone on the microphone signal circuit. The microphone modifies the 10V
depending on the volume and voice being detected. A microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a
ground for the microphone. The microphone signal circuits pass through the telematics communication interface
control module to support entertainment voice recognition. Thus, the module uses the same microphone as the
infotainment system. In the event the infotainment system uses two microphones only one will pass through the
telematics communication interface control module.

Cellular and GPS/Glonass Antennas

The antenna will have any of the following functions when equipped with ERA Glonass:

• Input cellular element


• Output cellular element
• GPS/Glonass element

The ERA Glonass system uses the input and output cellular antenna elements to send and receive cellular data. The
cellular signal is carried by a coax cable that connects the antenna directly to the telematics communication interface
control module.

The GPS/Glonass antenna element is used to collect the signals of the orbiting satellites. The GPS/Glonass signal is
carried by a coax cable that connects directly to the telematics communication interface control module.

Back-up Battery

NOTE: Do not disconnect the main vehicle battery or remove the telematics fuse with the
ignition key in any position other than OFF. Disconnecting power to the telematics
communication interface control module in any way while the ignition is ON or with
retained accessory power activated may cause activation of the Back-Up Battery.
This action is per design as the back-up battery is designed to provide power to the
telematics communication interface control module so an emergency notification
call can be made after an event where the main battery is disabled or unable to
supply sufficient voltage to drive the module. The telematics communication
interface control module naturally chooses the main supply voltage as it's default
supply. If an emergency call is active, or the network de-registration timer has not
expired, and the main supply is removed or lost for any reason the module will use
the Back-Up Battery as a power supply to continue the emergency call as long as

144 of 177
the default supply can not be detected. If the module is in standby mode and the
vehicle battery is disconnected the module will switch to the backup battery for
three seconds. If there is no collision event or emergency button press within the
three seconds the module will switch off to prevent damage to the backup battery.
The back-up battery is not rechargeable and must be replaced if the diagnostics for
the DTC (Replace Backup Power Source) indicate it is needed.

Audio System Interface

In the case of an emergency call the radio is muted and the telematics communication interface control module will
use the external backup speaker which is connected directly to the module.

ERA Glonass Limitations

The proper operation of the ERA Glonass system is dependent on several elements outside the components
integrated into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure and the GPS/Glonass.

Making an SOS key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will
result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the Call
Center. In this case the module will uses backup mechanism to store the MSD message into history. When the
module succeeds in connecting to the network the stored MSD message will be sent to the call center.

ONSTAR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (UE1)

This OnStar® system consists of the following components:

• Telematics communication interface control module


• OnStar® three button assembly
• Microphones
• Cellular antenna
• Navigation antenna
• Back up battery
• WiFi Support
• TTY (Teletypewriter)
• FOTA (Firmware Over The Air)

This system also interfaces with the factory installed vehicle audio system.

Telematics Communication Interface Control Module

The OnStar Telecommunications Platform (TCP) system communicates with various infotainment components via
Ethernet. The OnStar TCP uses Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) to communicate data and voice
signals over the national cellular network. The telematics communication interface control module supports
entertainment WiFi hotspots by providing a connection to the cellular network for Internet access. The module is
capable of up to 4G LTE speeds and houses 2 technology systems, one to process Global Positioning System (GPS)
data, and another for cellular information. The module sends and receives all cellular communications over two
cellular antennas and cellular antenna coax cables.

The OnStar TCP system has two antenna inputs, a primary cellular signal and a combined GPS/secondary cellular
signal. OnStar can receive signals from multiple global navigation satellite systems, including the United States
developed Global Positioning System (GPS) and Russian developed Global Navigation Satellite System
(GLONASS).

145 of 177
The module also has the capability of activating certain features such as, the horn, remote engine starting, initiating
door lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded
by the OnStar® Call Center per a customer request or mobile device app depending on vehicle and customer
subscription.

Dedicated circuits are used to connect the telematics communication interface control module to a microphone, the
button assembly, and radio. When equipped, the telematics communication interface control module may contain a
back up battery (BUB) which is internal to the control module and replaceable through an access cover. The
telematics communication interface control module communicates with the rest of the vehicle over the serial data bus
and Ethernet.

Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached
to the module. The power mode state is determined by the telematics communication interface control module
through serial data messaging.

OnStar® Three Button Assembly

• The OnStar® button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button
assembly is comprised of 3 buttons or 3 capacitive touch buttons and status LED's or an error indicator. The

The answer/end button, which is black with a white phone icon or a white driver figure seated with voice
signals near its face, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
The blue OnStar® call center button, which displays the OnStar® logo, allows the user to connect to
the OnStar® call center.
The emergency button, which displays white letters "SOS" with red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStar® call center when pressed.

If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStar® subscription is not active or has
expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status.

The telematics communication interface control module supplies 10 volts to the OnStar® button assembly on the
keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific
voltage to be returned to the telematics communication interface control module on the keypad signal circuit.
Depending upon the voltage range returned the telematics communication interface control module is able to identify
which button has been pressed.

The OnStar® status LED or error indicator is located near the buttons. The LED is green when the system is ON
and operating normally. When any indicator is illuminated and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress.
When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and
the OnStar® system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call.

Each LED or error indicator is controlled by either the telematics communication interface control module over
dedicated LED signal circuits or by low speed GM LAN serial data depending on the inside rearview mirror option.
Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.

Secondary OnStar® Controls

Some vehicles may have an additional button that when pushed can engage the OnStar® system. The button may
be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through
it.

By engaging the OnStar® system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice
commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the

146 of 177
information is not available for reference, at any command prompt the user can say "HELP" and the telematics
communication interface control module will return an audible list of available commands.

Microphones

This system utilizes two hands free audio microphones, the primary microphone on the driver side and a
secondary/reference microphone for the front passenger side. The primary microphone is connected directly to the
Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. It is also connected by an analog pass-through circuit to the
radio from the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. The secondary microphone is connected
directly to the radio.

The primary microphone is used for emergency and OnStar calls. During normal operating conditions it also
provides Bluetooth calls and speech recognition to the radio. The secondary microphone is used as a reference for the
primary microphone for Barge-in and Passenger Interference Cancellation during speech recognition and also to
enhance the driver side hands free calls. For MY18 and beyond the secondary microphone can also be used for front
passenger hands free phone calls. Barge-in allows a user to speak over the system prompts. Passenger Interference
Cancellation ignores unwanted inputs from cabin noise that is not related to the prompts given by the user.

The front passenger secondary microphone is never used as a direct source for an OnStar call. The second
microphone input modifies the primary microphone input to reduce background noise and other interference. An
OnStar call requires the microphone to be directly connected to the Telematics Communication Interface Control
Module. During a normal (non-emergency) OnStar call the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module
receives an audio signal from the primary microphone and sends the signal to the radio via the Ethernet connection.
The radio processes the OnStar call audio and sends it back to the Telematics Communication Interface Control
Module via the Ethernet connection. During an emergency button call the Telematics Communication Interface
Control Module contacts the OnStar call center directly and does not send the signal to the radio.

Cellular and GPS Antennas

The combination antenna will have any of the following antenna elements when equipped with OnStar:

• Primary cellular element


• Secondary cellular element
• GPS element
• Digital radio element
• AM/FM element

The OnStar® TCP system uses 2 cellular antenna elements to send and receive cellular data, the primary cellular
element and the secondary cellular element. The primary cellular signal is carried by a coax cable that connects the
antenna directly to the telematics communication interface control module. Details of the secondary cellular signal
are further described below.

The GPS antenna element is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. GPS signals are output from the
telematics communication interface control module on Ethernet or GMLAN. Other modules on Ethernet may use the
GPS latitude, longitude and satellite time data broadcast by the telematics communication interface control module.
Using positioning information from the vehicle Ethernet avoids the use of a coaxial signal splitter to pass the analog
GPS signal to other modules. Within the antenna is housed a low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and
precise reception of this data. Also housed within the antenna is circuitry to combine the GPS signal and the
secondary cellular signal. The combination GPS/secondary cellular signal is carried by a coax cable that connects
directly to the telematics communication interface control module. The cable also provides a path for DC current for
powering the antenna.

Compass Heading

147 of 177
The telematics communication interface module has a compass feature to calculate vehicle direction which is
displayed via the instrument panel cluster or designated display. The compass heading is determined by dead
reckoning until the GPS 3d fix is established. The dead reckoning is accomplished by using the yaw rate sensors and
wheel ticks to determine heading changes from a GPS known heading. The GPS 3d fix heading is determined by the
deferential of two locations.

Bluetooth®

With the OnStar TCP system Bluetooth® resides in the radio. Refer to Radio/Audio System Description and
Operation for further details.

Phantom Phone Calls

A customer may report that the OnStar® system is attempting and/or completing phone calls which the operator of
the vehicle did not initiate.

It is important to know which type of reported phantom phone call the operator is reporting. Some phone calls of this
nature are considered normal and cannot be addressed other than through education, while others may require some
remedial action to resolve. When attempting resolve, it is very important to determine under which circumstances the
reported Phantom Phone call resulted.

The following are different scenarios:

• The vehicle may receive an incoming call just like any other phone. Typically the customer will hear the phone
ringing in the vehicle. This scenario also includes incoming Bluetooth calls.
• Because the button assembly and associated wiring feeds voltage back to the OnStar® system based on the
amount of voltage drop through each of the buttons, should the return line be partially shorted to voltage the
system could interpret this voltage as a key press. If one of the buttons voltage is simulated, such as the Blue
button. The system will make a phone call just as if the button had been pressed by the operator of the vehicle.
Refer to the OnStar Button Malfunction document for diagnostics.
• Internal module fault. Some customers may report a condition where "Phone Unavailable" message is heard
after the vehicle door is opened or key is cycled. The technician may find a DTC stored in the Telematics
module (example: U1500 or B1000). Refer to diagnostics for the DTC making sure to follow any applicable
Bulletins or PIs.
• Unwanted Hands free calling activation. A customer may report that the "Ready!" or "OnStar® Ready!"
message is heard while driving. The customer may also advise that this seems to happen mostly while making
a turn. In some cases it has been found that the customer is inadvertently pressing the "push to talk" button on
the steering wheel controls. On rare occasions, other issues in the steering column or Steering Wheel Control
system may induce this event.

The majority of reported Phantom Phone Calls can be attributed to accidental button presses or customer induced
concern. In some cases an incoming call may be mistaken as a phantom call concern. It is important to verify all
aspects of the customer concern in order to properly duplicate and diagnose the condition. If the concern points to
normal operation and customer induced concern, please communicate to the customer this condition is a normal
operating characteristic of their vehicle.

Back-up Battery

In some vehicles, the Telematics system is equipped with a Back-Up Battery (BUB) installed inside the TCICM.
This battery is a two-cell lithium-ion rechargeable battery assembly, connected with a short electrical harness, to the
circuit board in the module. Contained within this two-cell battery package are a temperature-sensing thermistor,
automatic-resetting circuit-overload protection, and a low-pressure vent valve. Nominal voltage of the battery pack is
7. 3 Volts.

148 of 177
The BUB is only switched into service when the Telematics system is in normal On condition, vehicle power mode
of either Run or On, and main vehicle battery power (B+) at the TCICM suddenly becomes near-zero. At this time
BUB power is connected to the main circuit board power using solid-state power switching circuits. After initiating
BUB for module power, the GMLAN bus is monitored for a message confirming a collision-event, or near-collision
event, has occurred. If a confirmation message is received, the TCICM continues to use BUB as the power supply
until it is depleted. If a confirmation message is not received within 10 seconds, the BUB power circuits are
internally disconnected, preventing inadvertent dis-charge of the battery.

Charging circuitry within the TCICM maintains the state of charge of the BUB. BUB charging occurs as determined
by the module software, primarily based on temperature and state of charge. Battery state of charge is measured by
the telematics module circuitry, and remaining energy capacity calculated by the module software. On-board
diagnostic tests check for circuit faults, over-temperature conditions, and low-energy capacity. Current DTCs will set
for each of these conditions. No component checks are required, and are not recommended, for BUB diagnosis.

WiFi Support

The telematics communication interface control module supports entertainment WiFi hotspots by providing a
connection to the cellular network for Internet access. The radio acts as the central WiFi router and connects
hardwire Ethernet to the telematics communication interface control module. The telematics communication
interface control module completes the connection to the Internet through the cellular network. It has the ability to
connect up to 7 devices at one time.

Audio System Interface

When the OnStar® requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio
functions and transmit OnStar® originated audio. The OnStar® audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system
by the Ethernet and GMLAN circuits.

The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with
the radio ON.

On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStar® system is active to aid in reducing
interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting.

OnStar® Sleep Cycle

The OnStar® system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in
the OFF position and retained accessory power mode has ended. This cycle enables the telematics communication
interface control module to perform remote functions, such as door unlock, as commanded over the air by the
OnStar® Call Center, and to continue to maintain an acceptable level of battery electrical drain.

The OnStar® system uses 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when
the ignition is put into the OFF state:

• High power
• Low power
• Sleep
• Digital standby

The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, or retained accessory power is
enabled, and the OnStar® system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function.

The low power state is in effect when the OnStar® system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or
with retained accessory power enabled.

149 of 177
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the retained accessory power has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStar® module is able to perform all
remote functions as commanded by an OnStar® advisor at any time, for a continuous 120 hours. After 120 hours,
the OnStar® module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the telematics
communication interface control module. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog
mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals,
this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received.

If the OnStar® system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain
OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.

Features

OnStar® Personal Calling

The hands free, OnStar® personal calling cellular phone feature is an additional feature of the OnStar® system.
This feature is embedded within the telematics communication interface control module; however it must be
activated by an OnStar® advisor. OnStar® personal calling operates similar to most hand held cellular phones in
that the availability for its usage is based on minutes or units. The customer must have a current OnStar®
subscription, as this feature cannot be utilized without it. To use OnStar® personal calling, the customer must also
purchase units (minutes) as outlined in the owners guide provided with the OnStar® system. Units begin to deplete,
1 unit is equal to 1 minute, as the customer makes outbound phone calls, answers inbound phone calls, or while
connected to the OnStar® virtual advisor. In addition, units may also have an expiration date, depending upon the
type of units purchased.

Turn by Turn Navigation (if equipped)

Turn by Turn Navigation allows the driver to contact OnStar® to obtain directions for driving from a current
location to a desired location. The Turn by Turn Navigation system stores your planned route and continually checks
your position along that route, when you deviate from the planned route, the system will recognize this and prompt
the driver with verbal prompts for how to proceed.

Teletypewriter (TTY) Users

OnStar has the ability to communicate to deaf, hard-of-hearing, or speech-impaired customers while in the vehicle.
The available dealer-installed TTY system can provide in-vehicle access to all of the OnStar services, except Virtual
Advisor and OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation.

Deactivated OnStar® Accounts

In the event a customer has not renewed their OnStar® account after expiration or the account was never activated,
OnStar® will make a discrete cellular call to the vehicle to deactivate the OnStar® system. Before taking this
action, customers are notified that the OnStar® system in their vehicle will be deactivated unless they elect to
renew the account. After the OnStar® account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following:

• The OnStar® status LED will not illuminate.


• The OnStar® system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar® Call Center in the event of a collision or
if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
• An emergency button press will play a demo message indicating the service has been deactivated.
• An OnStar® Call Center button press will connect the customer with a dedicated sales team who can sell an
OnStar® subscription and reactivate the vehicle. Depending on the type of OnStar® hardware in the
vehicle, the customer may first hear a demonstration message stating there is no current OnStar®
subscription for the vehicle, and directing the customer what to do to activate services.

150 of 177
• OnStar® personal calling will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current
OnStar® account. Attempts to use this feature may result in cellular connection failure messages and the
inability to connect to the number dialed.

Certain vehicles that have never had an active OnStar® account, or that have been deactivated, may be unable to
establish a connection with the OnStar® Call Center. When normal published diagnostic procedures do not indicate
a possible cause for the no connect concern, the vehicle may have been deactivated. For deactivated vehicles, a no
connect response should be considered normal operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary
should the customer elect to become an active OnStar® subscriber or renew the account subscription.

OnStar® Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations

The proper operation of the OnStar® System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated
into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the
network, and the GPS.

The cellular operation of the OnStar® system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from an analog or
digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making
an OnStar® key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will
result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the
OnStar® Call Center. The OnStar® system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers
for the module, station identification number, electronic serial number or manufacturers electronic ID, are not
recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.

The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with
them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals
because of its location, i. e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStar® call which
has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.

During diagnostic testing of the OnStar® system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that
has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where analog or digital cellular calls have been
successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStar® keypress in a known good
OnStar® equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStar® Call Center advisor. Such places can be
used as a permanent reference for future OnStar® testing.

Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number

The telematics communication interface control module utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call
routing and connection, a mobile identification number and a mobile directory number. The mobile identification
number represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes while the mobile directory
number represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.

Firmware Over The Air

The Firmware Over The Air feature was designed to reflash software remotely. Remote reflash is an in-vehicle
feature that enables the installation of a software package to update the infotainment system without requiring
service test equipment to be physically connected to the vehicle. Remote reflash will utilize a long range or short
range connection from the host module to a remote IT system. There must be an active OnStar account to receive
Over The Air programming or updates. To verify the status of the account perform a blue button press and verify the
account is active and connects with data and location. Customers need to accept the OnStar terms and conditions,
and must have an active OnStar account to receive any Over The Air programming or updates.

NOTE: A data plan is not required to receive Over The Air programming or updates. Also
the programming or updates do not consume a customers available data.

151 of 177
NOTE: Fleet vehicles must be activated as a Fleet account (not a business account) and
require a separate Terms and Conditions agreement to be completed. Please see
your fleet administrator for assistance with completing this agreement.

NOTE: If a device was originally paired while in Demo Mode, a similar condition could
occur that randomly continues to drop Bluetooth pairing after exiting Demo Mode. If
the vehicle is not in Demo Mode, but it is believed the device was originally paired
while in Demo Mode, then delete the device from the radio, delete the radio from the
device, and perform the pairing process again.

Loss of functionality on the above items may be due to the design intent of the vehicle while in Demo Mode, no
correction is needed for these conditions. This is the normal operating characteristic of the Demo Mode of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle is sold, select the option labeled "Not a Demo Vehicle" to exit Demo Mode.

Data Communications

The infotainment system communicates with other devices on multiple serial data networks during operation.

Ethernet AVB

At the core of the infotainment system is the Radio Ethernet AVB (Audio Video Bridging) switch, which
communicates directly to each contributing Infotainment module terminator. The Ethernet harness consists of twisted
pair wires from point to point. Each module on the Ethernet infotainment system sends/receives data at 100 megabit
per second (Mbps) to/from a specified port at the Radio. Some system configurations support a 1 Gigabit per second
(Gbps) connection at the Radio to/from the TCP (Telematics) module. The Radio/Ethernet will also be used to
program USB S/W update files to the modules connected to the Ethernet ports. Some of the data services performed
over Ethernet AVB include: Chime, Service Programming via Over-The-Air updates, OnStar Turn-by-Turn
directions and all other OnStar data services.

Local Interconnect Network (LIN)

The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus is a single wire communication system. This bus is used to exchange
information between a master control module and other smart devices which provide supporting functionality.

The Remote Radio Receiver, Information Display, Infotainment Controls and the Multifunction (tunnel) Controls all
communicate on the LIN bus.

GMLAN

The Radio will communicate with other modules and systems in the vehicle via GMLAN. Diagnostic Trouble Codes
will be read on GMLAN to diagnose Ethernet, LIN and system faults. GMLAN will also be used for programming
calibrations using TIS2Web/SPS.

For additional information refer to Data Link Communications Description and Operation

Controller Area Network (CAN)

The Radio will communicate with other modules and systems in the vehicle via CAN and CAN5. Diagnostic Trouble
Codes will be read on CAN/CAN5 to diagnose Ethernet, LIN and system faults. CAN will also be used for
programming calibrations using TIS2Web/SPS. CAN takes the place of GMLAN on Global-B architecture systems.
CAN5 is a sub-system of the entire CAN network on a vehicle and is the specific network that connects the
Infotainment modules on the vehicle.

153 of 177
Remote Radio Receiver

Overview

The Radio is the Ethernet master. The radio also communicates with other components and systems within the
vehicle via GMLAN/CAN/CAN5 and LIN. The remote radio receiver communicates with the info display module
via the LIN bus for control information, touch communications and dimming level. Digital video data is sent to the
display through a dedicated video cable.

The Radio receiver contains internal antennas for Bluetooth ® and WiFi. The Radio also has an external WiFi
antenna (on applicable systems) that is used to receive local WiFi signals at increased distances. This is mainly used
to support Over-the-Air updates. The Radio must be mounted properly to obtain proper wireless signals and GPS
position. The remote radio receiver is responsible for receiving all broadcast audio bands. Broadcast signals from
AM, FM, XM and DAB bands are transmitted to the radio via the vehicle antenna systems. The remote radio
receiver is also responsible for the following: Video for the infotainment display, Bluetooth ®, USB, memory card
reader, and speech recognition functions.

The Radio has phone projection capabilities that can transmits information directly to the vehicle infotainment
system through Bluetooth or a USB connection. Downloadable applications will be available based on distracted
driver safety requirements.

Radio Power

The radio receives battery power and ground from the vehicle harness.

The radio does not use a discrete ignition feed circuit for power moding. The power mode master provides the
system power mode to the radio via serial data messages. The power mode master determines the system power
mode by processing power mode information from ignition switch inputs. Serial data power modes supported by the
radio are OFF, ACCESSORY, RUN, and CRANK REQUEST.

The radio can be turned ON with the ignition OFF. After 10 minutes of inactivity the radio will power down. If any
setting (e. g. changing the station) or volume has been changed or if the radio has been powered OFF than back ON
the 10 minute timer will reset from that point.

Radio Audio Outputs

When not equipped with an amplifier, the radio outputs all audio signals to the speakers via the vehicle wiring
harness.

When equipped with an amplifier, the radio outputs all audio signals digitally over Ethernet.

Speaker Operation

Speakers turn electrical energy into mechanical energy to move air, using a permanent magnet and an electromagnet.
The electromagnet is energized when the radio or amplifier (if equipped) delivers current to the voice coil on the
speaker. The voice coil will form a north and south pole that will cause the voice coil and the speaker cone to move
in relation to the permanent magnet. The current delivered to the speaker is rapidly changing alternating current
(A/C). This causes the speaker cone to move in two directions producing sound.

Antenna System

Multi-Band Antenna

The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of the vehicle. This type of antenna may be used with the AM/FM
radio, but is primarily for cellular, GPS signals, and XM, if the vehicle has these features. Keep this antenna clear of

154 of 177
snow and ice for clear reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the system may be affected if the
sunroof is open. Loading items onto the roof of the vehicle can interfere with the performance of the system, ensure
the multi-band antenna is not obstructed.

Diversity Antenna

The diversity antenna system uses antennas applied as appliqu e s to the rear glass and two antenna amplifiers. The
right antenna 1 receives both AM and FM signals, while the left antenna 2 may receive FM and DAB signals only.
The antenna amplifier receives the signals from the glass antenna. Each antenna amplifier is connected to the radio
by a coaxial cable.

The radio antenna amplifier is enabled when the radio is turned on. The radio provides battery voltage to the antenna
amplifier using the center conductor of the antenna coaxial cable. When a 12 V signal is seen by the amplifier on the
center conductor of the antenna coax, the received signals are amplified.

When the AM band is selected on the radio, the antenna 1 amplifier connects the AM antenna to the radio. When the
FM band is selected, both antenna amplifiers provide FM signals to the radio. The radio switches between the two
FM antennas, monitoring the signal strength and combines the signals to create one stronger signal.

Global Positioning System (GPS) Antenna

The global positioning system (GPS) antenna is part of the multi-band antenna located on the roof of the vehicle. The
GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise
amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The GPS antenna amplifier is powered
through the coaxial cable.

The GPS antenna is connected to the telematics communication interface control module via a coax cable. The GPS
signal is sent to the navigation radio via an Ethernet harness

External WiFi Antenna

On some system configurations, an external WiFi antenna is connected to the radio to support longer range reception,
compared to the internal Wifi antenna. Over-the-air updates is the main feature supported by this antenna. Data
transfers used for consumer media will also be supported by this antenna when connected to a local network. The
antenna is connected to the radio via coaxial cable.

Radio Reception

AM/FM Radio Signal

The radio signal is sent from a broadcast station and is then received by an antenna. The strength of the signal
received depends on the following:

• The power output (wattage) of the broadcasting station


• The location of the vehicle (or receiver) relative to the broadcast tower.
• Height of the broadcast antenna
• Height of the receiving antenna
• Obstacles between the tower and the receiver
• Atmospheric conditions
• What band (AM or FM) the station is broadcasting
• Type of antenna and the ground plane

Sirius XM (SXM) Digital Radio Receiver (If equipped)

155 of 177
A service fee is required in order to receive the XM service.

The XM satellite receiver is integrated into the radio. XM satellite radio provides digital radio reception. The XM
signal is broadcast from two satellites and, where necessary, terrestrial repeaters. The high power satellites allow the
antenna to receive the XM signal even when foliage and other partial obstructions block the antennas view of the
satellite. Terrestrial repeaters are used in dense urban areas. These repeaters will receive the satellite signal and re-
broadcast them at much higher power levels in order to ensure reception in areas with densely packed tall buildings.
Even with repeaters the signal can be compromised resulting in loss of XM.

SiriusXM 360L

SiriusXM with 360L interface has enhanced in-vehicle listening experience for subscribers. The experience now
offers more categories and system learned recommendations toward discovering more personalized content.

To use the full SiriusXM 360L program, including streaming content and listening recommendations, OnStar
Connected Access is required. Connected vehicle services vary by model and require a complete working electrical
system, cell reception, and GPS signal. An active OnStar connected plan is required, if the customer declines OnStar
Terms and Conditions the following message can be displayed: Connection Unavailable, Please call OnStar Agent.

Reference the SiriusXM user guide for use and subscription information.

High Definition (HD) Radio (If equipped)

HD Radio delivers subscription free local broadcasting in a digital format which may include song title, artist name,
album art, weather, traffic data, etc., on AM/FM bands. Up to four stations could be available on a single frequency
for e. g. if radio station is 96. 9 FM, the HD enabled radio would have additional broadcasts on 96. 9 HD1, HD2,
HD3 and HD4. The digital technology allows for clear reception quality and additional information.

Auto Volume Control (If equipped)

With auto volume control, the audio system will adjust automatically to make up for road and wind noise as you
drive, by increasing the volume as vehicle speed increases. To use auto volume control, set the volume at the desired
level, and then select either Off, Low, Medium-low, Medium, Medium-high or High.

Microphones

This system utilizes two hands free audio microphones, the primary microphone on the driver side and a
secondary/reference microphone for the front passenger side. The primary microphone is connected directly to the
Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. It is also connected by an analog pass-through circuit to the
radio from the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. The secondary microphone is connected
directly to the radio.

The primary microphone is used for emergency and OnStar calls. During normal operating conditions it also
provides Bluetooth calls and speech recognition to the radio. The secondary microphone is used as a reference for the
primary microphone for Barge-in and Passenger Interference Cancellation during speech recognition and also to
enhance the driver side hands free calls. For MY18 and beyond the secondary microphone can also be used for front
passenger hands free phone calls. Barge-in allows a user to speak over the system prompts. Passenger Interference
Cancellation ignores unwanted inputs from cabin noise that is not related to the prompts given by the user.

The front passenger secondary microphone is never used as a direct source for an OnStar call. The second
microphone input modifies the primary microphone input to reduce background noise and other interference. An
OnStar call requires the microphone to be directly connected to the Telematics Communication Interface Control
Module. During a normal (non-emergency) OnStar call the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module
receives an audio signal from the primary microphone and sends the signal to the radio via the Ethernet connection.

156 of 177
The radio processes the OnStar call audio and sends it back to the Telematics Communication Interface Control
Module via the Ethernet connection. During an emergency button call the Telematics Communication Interface
Control Module contacts the OnStar call center directly and does not send the signal to the radio.

Bluetooth ® (If equipped)

Bluetooth ® wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables
connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The operating range of the signal
is approximately 30 feet.

The available features and functions are determined by the type of device and the software within the devices being
used. For a feature or function to operate, it must be supported in both devices.

The first connection between devices is established through a process called pairing. In order to pair two devices, a
password (passkey) has to be exchanged between the two devices. One device will generate the password, the other
device accepts the password to complete the process. Once the devices are paired, future connections between the
devices will occur automatically when the devices are on and within range of each other.

The Bluetooth ® hardware is internal to the Remote Radio Receiver. The antenna is internal to the Remote Radio
Receiver. The Remote Radio Receiver supports streaming of data (music, voice, information) from cellular phones
and other mobile devices that support those features. The Remote Radio Receiver is also capable of interfacing with
cellular phones for hands-free features.

• The device must be paired to the system to use the available Bluetooth ® feature (s). The pairing process
must only be performed once for each device, unless that device's information is deleted.
• Depending on model year up to 10 devices can be paired, refer to owners manual for details.
• Streaming Audio allows playing music from the mobile device wirelessly. Music stored on the mobile device
can be viewed and controlled from the display.
• To stream audio from a mobile device, the device must be unlocked, and any additional applications should be
closed.

Refer to the owners manual, supplements, and the device manufacturers information for pairing instructions.

WiFi

The WiFi hardware is internal to the Remote Radio Receiver. The WiFi or WLAN antenna is called the Wireless
Communication Antenna which is connected to the Remote Radio Receiver. WiFi expands the abilities of the vehicle
as described below:

• Connect to home WiFi to update software


• When used with OnStar 4G LTE Hotspot service, it provides Internet access to devices in the vehicle when
connected to the Hotspot
• Enables in-vehicle networking between passengers' devices, like home WiFi network
• Allows remote access to external connected device application data for vehicle Internet application use

Back Office Registration

The Radio must be registered with the GM Back Office in order to receive downloaded information such as
approved applications, module software updates, weather and traffic information for current location. The vehicle
must have a Cellular or WiFi connection to complete the initial registration process. This process will verify the
assembly plant factory feed data from the BCM, CGM and Radio serial numbers to the VIN and if the security
checks are met, then the user must complete the registration process by entering email and required personal
information. The registration status can be verified through the Radio "Setting - About selection.

157 of 177
When any of these secured ECU's are replaced, a new serial number will be recorded during the service calibration
process and appended to the vehicles history data for uninterrupted back office connection.

If the Radio is replaced, the user can recover settings/applications by reregistering the email account. During the
initial registration process the user will enter an email/password. The user will then be sent a follow up verification
email link to setup the account completely. If the complete account setup is not performed the password reset
security questions will not be entered, which will prevent reregistering this email account in the future if the
password is forgotten. The radio will operate in Demo Mode or as Guest until a user profile has been set up.

Applications (If equipped)

When the system is equipped with Bluetooth ® or WiFI, the system is capable of using applications, commonly
referred to as apps.

The term application refers to any piece of software that works on a system (hardware) that is being operated by it's
own software. Applications are typically small software programs which uses the hardware to perform a specific
task, as opposed to operating the entire system.

• For an application to be used, it must be installed on both the vehicle infotainment system and a compatible
mobile device.
• The device must be connected to the system. this may be done wirelessly via Bluetooth ®, WiFi, or via the
vehicle USB port. Refer to the device manufacturers information for the proper connection method.
• When the device is connected, the vehicle infotainment system is used to remotely access and control the
application on the mobile device.
• The application must work correctly on the device to work with the vehicle infotainment system.
• The user may be required to log-in to the application on the mobile device before using the application from
the vehicle controls.
• Using applications will use the device's data plan.
• The device must be unlocked, and any additional applications should be closed.

Refer to the owners manual and supplements for information on mobile devices, control, and operation.

Speech Recognition

The Speech Recognition feature is implemented only in a Mid/High System Radio- CSM module. There is no
Speech Recognition in a Low System. Speech Recognition allows the user to command various features of the radio
via voice commands. For addition information refer to the owners manual. For model year 2018 (and forward)
Mid/High systems, part of the speech recognition functionality is controlled via off-board cloud connection. A
speech icon in the radio allows user to see if an utterance has been received by the off-board cloud. Points-of-interest
(POIs) data are also stored off-board. Any disruption in the connection to the cloud will cause a partial loss of
functionality for these systems.

For model year 2018 (and forward) there will also be a new speech recognition feature called Barge-in. This allows
the user to speak over the voice prompts generated by the system. This feature is turned off by default from the
factory and must be enabled by the user.

Navigation System Components and Features (if equipped)

The radio receiver provides full navigation functionality, if equipped. The Radio provides the following:

• A global positioning system (GPS) signal, which provides the vehicle location information.
• Map data for navigation and map route guidance, stored on the SD card memory.

158 of 177
• Route guidance with verbal prompts to the operator.
• Traffic and weather information for display on the navigation system map (with active subscription, where
available).
• Periodic Map updates can be performed by inserting an updated SD card.

GPS signals are output from the telematics communication interface control module on Ethernet or GMLAN. Other
modules on Ethernet, such as the radio may use the GPS latitude, longitude and satellite time data broadcast by the
telematics communication interface control module.

The On-board navigation feature uses an on-board navigation engine with an optimized map display that is
calculated and rendered locally.

Route Guidance

The map will display the route to the selected destination. Voice prompts alert the operator of upcoming events
(turns) and arrivals at the destination. The navigation system will automatically recalculate if the route is not
followed. The remote radio receiver uses data received from the global positioning system (GPS) satellites, the
vehicle speed signal, and serial data information to accurately display the current position of the vehicle.

Points of Interest

The map database provides point of interest information. Points of interests are locations that are frequently visited.
Points of interest can be can be displayed on the map or set as a destination. The following are some of the available
Points of interests:

• Gas Station
• Restaurant
• College
• Police Station

Locations Services

"Locations Services Off" also referred to as Location Masking, is a feature in select 2019 and beyond Infotainment 3
systems that allows customers to enable or disable location services in their vehicle. This allows customers to control
what data is being sent from their vehicle, and has important implications for other connected services.

The default setting is "Locations Services On", however, customers can enable or disable Locations Masking in two
ways:

1. Press and hold the white button next to the blue OnStar® button in the overhead console.
2. In the Setting menu, select System>Privacy>Location Services>ON or OFF.

• Look for the white LOCATIONS SERVICES icon in the status bar on the Home Screen, next to the clock and
outside temperature in the lower right corner of the screen.
• When Locations Services are On, there will be no circle around the icon.
• When the Locations Services are Off, the icon will be circled in red.

Certain functions that require the vehicle's location may not operate properly when Location Services are Off,
including:

• Connected Navigation services, if equipped and active, will not work (the system will operate as a non-
connected Navigation system)

159 of 177
• Speech recognition may not offer full functionality
• OnStar advisors will be unable to provide Turn-by-Turn Navigation services
• Customers may receive error messages in their myChevrolet, myBuick, myGMC, or myCadillac mobile app
when trying to use Vehicle Locate.
• Some features of Smart Driver may be inoperable or not work properly, including the score being replaced by
dashes

NOTE: Emergency services, such as Automatic Crash Notification and Stolen Vehicle
Assistance, are NOT impacted by Location Masking.

Valet Mode

Valet Mode is a customer enabled feature of the infotainment system, found in the settings menu, if equipped. The
customer creates and inputs a four digit code using the infotainment controls. Confirming the code and selecting
LOCK will lock the infotainment system, steering wheel controls and other vehicle features, dependent on vehicle
equipment. The vehicle will remain in valet mode until the same four digit code is reentered.

In the event that the four digit code is forgotten, it can be sent via Bluetooth to the currently paired phone or the scan
tool under Radio>Configuration/Reset Functions>Erase Valet Mode Code can be used to clear the Valet Mode Code.

Teen Driver

The teen driver feature puts the vehicle into a mode that can only be unlocked with a valid PIN. It allows various
restrictive features for safer driving. Some of the features include Speed Limiter, Speed Warning, Register Key,
Report Card, etc. For additional information refer to owners manual.

In the event that the four digit code is forgotten, it can be sent via Bluetooth to the currently paired phone or the scan
tool under BCM can be used to reset the Teen Driver PIN.

Theft Deterrent

The radio theft deterrent system is intended to disable or limit radio functionality if incorrect vehicle information is
received by the radio. The radio disables functionality if the VIN information received by the radio does not match
the VIN information that has been learned by the radio. The radio receives this information via serial data. A possible
cause of incorrect VIN info could be the radio was originally installed in another vehicle.

The radio has the following theft operating modes as part of the theft deterrent system:

• Normal Mode: The radio has learned a correct VIN sequence and the VIN information received via serial data
matches the learned VIN sequence. In this mode the radio has full functionality.
• No VIN Mode: The radio has not received or learned a correct VIN sequence. In this mode the radio has
limited functionality.
• Theft Detected Mode: The radio has learned a correct VIN sequence and the VIN information received via
serial data does NOT match the learned VIN sequence. In this mode the radio may be disabled or have limited
functionality. The radio display will indicate that theft protection is active.

Audio Amplifier (If equipped)

Amplifier Interface

A fused battery voltage circuit provides the main amplifier power. The audio amplifier (when equipped) is a
participant on the Ethernet bus. The audio amplifier receives audio signals and control information from the Radio.
The Amplifier receives battery power and ground from the vehicle harness, and also communicates on GMLAN.

160 of 177
Amplifier Operation

The purpose of the amplifier is to increase the power of a voltage or current signal. The output signal of an amplifier
may consist of the same frequencies as the input signal or it may consist of only a portion of the frequencies as in the
case of a subwoofer or midrange speaker. The audio amplifier amplifies the signal and sends it to the appropriate
speakers.

Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the audio amplifier have a DC bias voltage that is
approximately one half of the battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output channel circuits will
measure approximately 6. 5V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC voltage that is
centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move
and produce sound. Both the DC bias voltage and the AC voltage signals are needed for the audio system to properly
produce sound.

The audio amplifier is also responsible for operation of active noise cancellation if equipped. Refer to Active Noise
Cancellation Description and Operation for more information.

Infotainment Controls and Display

The infotainment display and controls are a separate component from the radio, combined into an assembly. The
assembly contains the control knobs and buttons for all audio and HVAC functions and the information display. The
assembly is supplied battery voltage and ground from the vehicle harness.

Control information, touch communications and dimming level for the display are communicated via a LIN serial
data circuit to the Radio.

The remote radio receiver sends the display digital video data for on-screen display through a dedicated video cable.

The information display provides a feedback on the touch screen and certain controls.

The controls communicate via a LIN serial data circuit with the remote radio receiver. Messages communicated
include the following:

• Wake-up/power state messages


• Diagnostic information
• Button presses/knob rotations
• Commands for the state of indicators
• Back-lighting dimming level

HVAC data for controls and status indicators is communicated between the HVAC controls and the HVAC control
module with a separate LIN serial data circuit. HVAC status screen information from the HVAC control module is
transmitted to the radio on the GMLAN serial data circuit.

On some system configurations for model year 2019 (and forward), the Infotainment Controls and Display are
connected only via dedicated video cable (LVDS cable). All data communication previously transmitted via LIN and
GMLAN will be sent via LVDS cable on these systems. Programming/reprogramming of the Infotainment Controls
and Display will be performed through USB port and sent from the Radio to the Display via the LVDS cable.

Steering Wheel Controls (If equipped)

Some audio functions are available using the steering wheel controls. The steering wheel controls duplicate the
function of the primary controls available on the radio.

161 of 177
For additional information on steering wheel controls, refer to Steering Wheel Controls Description and Operation.

USB Port, SD Card Reader and Auxiliary port (If equipped)

The infotainment system may contain an assembly that has either a USB port, Auxiliary port, and may even have an
SD card reader located within the drivers reach. The assembly interfaces with a hub device, internal to the auxiliary
jack, USB, and memory card receptacle assembly. The auxiliary jack, USB, and memory card receptacle assembly
receives fused battery voltage and ground from the harness to power the internal hub device as well as providing
additional amperage to power USB devices.

The internal hub device interfaces directly with the remote radio receiver via a standard USB cable. A Mini type
USB connector is used to connect the cable at the USB port and at the remote radio receiver and at the auxiliary jack,
USB, and memory card receptacle. Standard USB male to female connections are typically used for connecting USB
cables together where an in-line connection is required. An in-line cable connection is typically found between the
console and I/P harness.

USB Port

The USB port allows connectivity to the infotainment system from portable media players or a USB storage device
(memory stick/ flash drive). When a device is connected to the USB port, the device can be controlled from the radio
controls.

Not all portable media player devices or file types are compatible. Connection to USB HUB devices is not supported.

Refer to the owner's manual for information on USB devices, control, and operation.

SD Card Reader

On Navigation vehicles the SD card will contain the Map information for the vehicle region. The Map data will be
updated either by replacing the SD card with the latest release or in regions that support it, OTA wireless updates via
WiFi on MY18> vehicles.

Refer to the owners manual for information on the Navigation system.

Auxiliary Audio Input Jack

The infotainment system may have a 3.5mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack located in the center console. The
auxiliary audio input jack interfaces directly with the radio. When a portable audio playback device is connected to
the auxiliary jack, an internal switch detects the connection and the radio will switch to AUX as the audio source.
Audio signals from the device are sent to the radio from the auxiliary jack via USB.

• When a device is first connected to the 3.5mm (1/8 in.) input jack the infotainment system automatically
switches to that device. If an auxiliary device has already been connected, press the AUX or CD/AUX button
to select the device.
• Playback of an audio device that is connected to the 3.5mm jack can only be controlled using the controls on
the device.
• The volume control on the device may need to be adjusted eo ensure sufficient playback volume through the
infotainment system.

OnStar ® (If equipped)

When OnStar is activated, a serial data message is sent to the radio that activates default audio settings. The fade will
be set to the front, Bass and Treble are set to the mid range, the outputs are mono, when the audio source is OnStar.
OnStar takes priority over any other audio source.

162 of 177
For additional OnStar information, refer to OnStar Description and Operation.

Firmware Over The Air

The Firmware Over The Air feature was designed to reflash software remotely. Remote reflash is an in-vehicle
feature that enables the installation of a software package to update the infotainment system without requiring
service test equipment to be physically connected to the vehicle. Remote reflash will utilize a long range or short
range connection from the host module to a remote IT system. There must be an active OnStar account to receive
Over The Air programming or updates. To verify the status of the account perform a blue button press and verify the
account is active and connects with data and location. Customers need to accept the OnStar terms and conditions,
and must have an active OnStar account to receive any Over The Air programming or updates.

NOTE: A data plan is not required to receive Over The Air programming or updates. Also
the programming or updates do not consume a customers available data.

NOTE: Fleet vehicles must be activated as a Fleet account (not a business account) and
require a separate Terms and Conditions agreement to be completed. Please see
your fleet administrator for assistance with completing this agreement.

Compass Data

With the Base Radio the Telematics Control module provides compass and GPS position information on the LS-
GMLAN / Info-CAN bus when it is present.

In a Mid / High Radio System configuration without a Telematics Control Module and equipped with GPS, the radio
shall provide the GPS and heading information on LS-GMLAN / Info-CAN as shown below.

An external Remote Compass Module (RCM) is required to transmit the heading and position information on LS-
GMLAN / Info-CAN if either:

• The Base Radio is present in a system configuration with no Telematics control module.
• The radio variant without GPS is present in a system configuration with no Telematics control module.

Media Disc Player (if equipped)

The Remote Media Player feature sends information through a USB connection to the Rear Seat Infotainment and
outputs digital audio/video to vehicle displays and to the Radio over the Ethernet bus. The Rear Seat Infotainment
system also has a USB hub with an auxiliary port for digital media file access.

The media disc player receives battery power and ground from the vehicle harness, and also communicates on
GMLAN.

Digital Rearview Camera (if equipped)

For model year 2018 (and forward), the digital rearview camera is a direct input to the radio via coaxial cable.
Camera and image activation are driven by reverse gear signal from the reverse lamp input. This function is used for
reverse guidance. For radio systems that manage the camera signal, the system does not have video bypass module,
as this functionality is managed onboard the radio.

Diagnostic Aids

The cruise control system can be inhibited or disengaged for a number of reasons. These reasons may be a
normal function of the vehicle or as a result of action the driver has taken. The cruise control system may also
be inhibited or disengaged because of a fault in a vehicle system. The K20 Engine Control Module has a scan
tool data list available that can help identify what may have caused a cruise control inhibit or disengage. The
scan tool ECM Cruise Control Disable History Data list identifies conditions that will inhibit cruise control.
When the cruise control system is inhibited the cruise control system will be prevented from engaging when
requested by the driver, or the cruise control system will disengage, if the driver was actively utilizing the
system.

When attempting to diagnose the system, it is important to discuss with the customer the conditions under
which the apparent malfunction occurred. This is critical to help identify those scenarios where the inhibit or
disengage is the result of a driver action or normal system response and clarify how the function works. It is
also critical to identify when the apparent malfunction occurred when attempting to replicate the condition. The
parameters in the scan tool ECM Cruise Control Disable History Data list can be used to help isolate what is
causing an inhibit or disengage condition. The scan tool ECM Cruise Control Disable History Data list has
parameters that identify the last eight causes of an inhibit and the last eight causes of a disengage. For each
Cruise Control Inhibit History and Cruise Control Disengage History parameter, extra information is included in
additional parameters: Odometer at First Malfunction, Odometer at Last Malfunction, Diagnostic Status,
Malfunction Counter, and Ignition Cycles Since Last Diagnostic Event. The scan tool parameters are a rolling
snapshot of the last eight inhibit and disengage reasons, however, if the same condition causes an inhibit or
disengage, the reason will not be logged in the next parameter. Instead, the Malfunction Counter parameter will
increment and the Odometer at Last Malfunction parameter will update with the most recent odometer value
that the condition occurred. When diagnosing an inhibit or disengage concern, especially in the case of an
intermittent condition, these parameters are useful in helping determine the cause. Recurring causes will have a
larger number in the Malfunction Counter parameter and will likely have a wide variance between the
Odometer at First Malfunction and Odometer at Last Malfunction value, indicating the condition has occurred
over a period of time driving the vehicle.

Diagnostic Aids

The cruise control system can be inhibited or disengaged for a number of reasons. These reasons may be a
normal function of the vehicle or as a result of action the driver has taken. The cruise control system may also
be inhibited or disengaged because of a fault in a vehicle system. The K20 Engine Control Module has a scan
tool data list available that can help identify what may have caused a cruise control inhibit or disengage. The
scan tool ECM Cruise Control Disable History Data list identifies conditions that will inhibit cruise control.
When the cruise control system is inhibited the cruise control system will be prevented from engaging when
requested by the driver, or the cruise control system will disengage, if the driver was actively utilizing the
system.

When attempting to diagnose the system, it is important to discuss with the customer the conditions under
which the apparent malfunction occurred. This is critical to help identify those scenarios where the inhibit or
disengage is the result of a driver action or normal system response and clarify how the function works. It is
also critical to identify when the apparent malfunction occurred when attempting to replicate the condition. The
parameters in the scan tool ECM Cruise Control Disable History Data list can be used to help isolate what is
causing an inhibit or disengage condition. The scan tool ECM Cruise Control Disable History Data list has
parameters that identify the last eight causes of an inhibit and the last eight causes of a disengage. For each
Cruise Control Inhibit History and Cruise Control Disengage History parameter, extra information is included in
additional parameters: Odometer at First Malfunction, Odometer at Last Malfunction, Diagnostic Status,
Malfunction Counter, and Ignition Cycles Since Last Diagnostic Event. The scan tool parameters are a rolling
snapshot of the last eight inhibit and disengage reasons, however, if the same condition causes an inhibit or
disengage, the reason will not be logged in the next parameter. Instead, the Malfunction Counter parameter will
increment and the Odometer at Last Malfunction parameter will update with the most recent odometer value
that the condition occurred. When diagnosing an inhibit or disengage concern, especially in the case of an
intermittent condition, these parameters are useful in helping determine the cause. Recurring causes will have a
larger number in the Malfunction Counter parameter and will likely have a wide variance between the
Odometer at First Malfunction and Odometer at Last Malfunction value, indicating the condition has occurred
over a period of time driving the vehicle.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


CRUISE CONTROL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with RPO KSG, it also has Adaptive Cruise Control.
Refer to the Object Detection or the Driver Assistance Systems subsection for
schematics, diagnostics, and description and operation related to Adaptive
Cruise Control functions.

Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal driving conditions
at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). Steep grades may cause variations in the selected vehicle speeds.

The following are the main components of the Cruise Control System:

• The accelerator pedal


• The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor
• The body control module (BCM)
• The cruise on/off switch
• The cruise control cancel switch
• The + RES switch (equivalent to resume/accelerate switch)
• The - SET switch (equivalent to set/coast switch)
• The engine control module (ECM)
• The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor (gasoline engines only)
• The vehicle speed sensor

The body control module (BCM) monitors the signal circuit of the cruise control switches, which are located on
the steering wheel. The BCM relays the cruise control switch status to the engine control module (ECM) via the
serial data circuit. The ECM uses the status of the cruise control switch to determine when to capture and
maintain the vehicle speed. The ECM monitors the vehicle speed signal circuit in order to determine the desired
vehicle speed.

33 of 40
Voltage is supplied to the cruise control switch via the steering wheel control switch reference voltage circuit
supplied by the BCM. The cruise control function switches are arranged in a resistive ladder design, with each
cruise control function switch having a different resistance value. The BCM detects a specific voltage value that
is associated with the cruise control function switch being activated. The BCM sends a serial data message to
the ECM indicating that the on/off switch is active. Similarly, when the normally open + RES switch or the
normally open - SET switch are pressed, the switch closes and the BCM detects the predetermined voltage
signal on the cruise control resume/accel and set/coast switch signal circuit. The BCM sends a serial data
message to the ECM indicating that the + RES switch or the - SET switch is active.

Cruise Control Engaged

The Cruise Control System will engage and adjust vehicle speeds, based on the activation of the following
cruise control switches, which are located on the steering wheel:

• On/Off
• + RES
• - SET

To engage the Cruise Control System, ensure that the vehicle speed is above 40.2 km/h (25 mph), turn the cruise
On/Off switch ON and momentarily press the - SET switch. The ECM will engage the Cruise Control System
and record the vehicle speed. The ECM sends a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) in
order to illuminate the Cruise Engaged indicator in the IPC. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the location
and operation of the cruise control On/Off indicators and driver information center (DIC) messages.

Pressing the accelerator pedal while the Cruise Control System is engaged, allows the driver to override the
Cruise Control System in order to accelerate the vehicle beyond the current set vehicle speed. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will decelerate and resume the current set vehicle speed.

The driver can also override the current set vehicle speed via the - SET switch and the + RES switch. When the
Cruise Control System is engaged, pressing and holding the - SET switch will allow the vehicle to decelerate
from the current set vehicle speed without deactivating the Cruise Control System. When the - SET switch is
released, the ECM will record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed.
When the Cruise Control System is engaged, momentarily pressing the - SET switch will allow the vehicle to
decelerate at a vehicle specific calibratable increment, commonly 1 km/h or 1 mph, each time that the - SET is
momentarily pressed, with a minimum vehicle speed of 38 km/h (24 mph). Refer to the vehicle Owner's Manual
for more information.

Pressing and holding the + RES switch, when the Cruise Control System is engaged, will allow the vehicle to
accelerate to a greater vehicle speed than the current set vehicle speed. When the + RES switch is released, the
ECM will record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed. When the
Cruise Control System is engaged, momentarily pressing the + RES switch will allow the vehicle to accelerate
at a vehicle specific calibratable increment, commonly 1 km/h or 1 mph, each time that the + RES switch is
momentarily pressed. Momentarily activating the + RES switch will recall the previous vehicle speed, after the
cruise control system has been disengaged by pressing the brake pedal, or CANCEL switch. Refer to the vehicle
Owner's Manual for more information.

Cruise Control Disengaged

The engine control module (ECM) disengages the cruise control operation based on the signals from the
following switches:

34 of 40
• The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor
• The On/Off switch
• The cruise control cancel switch

The Cruise Control System will disengage when the brake pedal is applied. The body control module (BCM)
monitors the BPP sensor via the BPP sensor signal circuit as the voltage signal increases while the pedal is
further applied. The ECM monitors the BPP signal through a discrete input and a serial data message signal
from the BCM indicating the brake status. When either signal indicates the brake pedal is applied, the ECM will
disengage the cruise control system.

The Cruise Control System will also disengage when the cruise control on/off switch is switched OFF, or the
cruise control cancel switch is activated. The body control module (BCM) determines when the cruise control
cancel switch is activated. When the normally open cancel switch is closed, the BCM detects the predetermined
voltage signal on the cruise control function switch circuit. The vehicle speed stored in the memory of the
engine control module will be erased when the cruise control On/Off switch is turned OFF, or the ignition
switch is turned OFF. The BCM sends a serial data message to the ECM in order to disengage the cruise control
system. When the Cruise Control System has been disengaged, the ECM sends a serial message to the
instrument panel cluster (IPC) in order to turn OFF the Cruise Engaged indicator.

Every time the Cruise Control System is disengaged, the ECM will keep track of the reason for system
disengagement. The last 8 disengagement reasons will be recorded within the ECM memory. The scan tool will
display the last 8 Cruise Disengage History parameters, in which one out of approximately 50 possible reasons
will be displayed in each of these 8 parameters. For the disengagement reason to be displayed within the scan
tool parameter the Cruise Control System is active and disengagement is requested.

When engagement of the system is requested but an engagement inhibit is present, the most recent inhibit
reason is recorded in the ECM history. The scan tool will display the most recent inhibit reason, in which one
out of approximately 50 possible reasons will be displayed.

Cruise Control Inhibited

The engine control module (ECM) inhibits the cruise control operation when any of the following conditions
exist:

• The ECM has not detected a brake pedal activation from the body control module (BCM) this ignition
cycle.
• A Cruise Control System DTC has been set.
• The vehicle speed is less than 38.6 km/h (24 mph).
• The vehicle speed is too high.
• The vehicle is in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or 1st gear.
• The engine RPM is low.
• The engine RPM is high.
• The system voltage is not between 9 volts and 16 volts.
• The Antilock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS) is active for more than a calibratable
time (typically 0.3 to 0.7 seconds).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

NOTE: This is an overview of different serial data buses used by GM devices to


communicate with each others. Use Data Communication Wiring Schematics to
find out which serial data buses are configured for a specific vehicle.

Data Link Communications Overview

There are many components in a vehicle that rely on information from other sources, transmit information to
other sources, or both. Serial data communication networks provide a reliable, cost effective, way for various
components of the vehicle to "talk" to one another and share information.

GM uses a number of different communication buses to insure the timely and efficient exchange of information
between devices. When compared to each other, some of these buses are different in nature as far as speed,
signal characteristics, and behavior. An example of this is the High Speed GMLAN and Low Speed GMLAN
Buses.

On the other hand, when other buses are compared to each other they have similar characteristics and simply
operate in parallel. In this case they are used to group together components which have high interaction.
Examples are the High Speed GMLAN, Powertrain Expansion, and Chassis Expansion Buses. This allows them
to communicate with each other on a bus with reduced message congestion insuring faster and the more timely
exchange of information than if all vehicle devices were on a single bus.

The majority of information that exists within a given network generally stays local; however some information
will have to be shared on other networks. Control modules designated as Gateway's perform the function of
transferring information between the various buses. A Gateway module is connected to at least 2 buses and will
interact with each network according to its message strategy and transmission models.

GMLAN provides the capability for a receiving device to monitor message transmissions from other devices in
order to determine if messages of interest are not being received. The primary purpose is to allow reasonable
default values to be substituted for the information no longer being received. Additionally, a device may set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to indicate that the device it is expecting information from is no longer
communicating. A lost communication DTC typically is set in devices other than the device with a
communication failure.

K9 Body Control Module (BCM)

The K9 Body Control Module has discrete input and output terminals to control the vehicle's body functions.
The K9 Body Control Module is wired to the High Speed GMLAN Bus, Low Speed GMLAN Bus and multiple
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Buses and acts as a gateway between them. The various K9 Body Control
Module input and output circuits are illustrated in the corresponding functional areas on the K9 Body Control
Module electrical Wiring schematics. Refer to the Body Control System Wiring Schematics for more detailed
information.

Power Mode Master

1 of 9
The K9 Body Control Module functions as the power mode master. The ignition switch is a low current switch
with multiple discrete ignition switch signals to the power mode master for determining the power mode that
will be sent over the serial data circuits to the other devices that need this information; the power mode master
will activate relays and other direct outputs of the power mode master as needed. Refer to Power Mode
Description and Operation for a complete description of power mode functions.

Gateway

The K9 Body Control Module functions as a gateway or translator. The purpose of the gateway is to translate
serial data messages between the High Speed GMLAN Bus and the Low Speed GMLAN Bus for
communication between the various devices. The gateway will interact with each network according to that
network's transmission protocol. All communication between the K9 Body Control Module and a scan tool is
done through the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus.

K56 Serial Data Gateway Module (Gen 3)

NOTE: The Data Bus Diagnostic Tool will not work with vehicles equipped with K56
Serial Data Gateway Module gen 3.

This vehicle is equipped with a K56 Serial Data Gateway Module gen 3. The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module
is used to handle communications between multiple GMLAN buses and functions as a gateway to isolate the
secure networks from the unsecured networks. It was created to mitigate bus loading to support cyber security
and new active/advanced safety features (if equipped). The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module is used as a
frame-to-frame gateway for all functional messages. Communication between the K56 Serial Data Gateway
Module and a scan tool is done through the primary High Speed GMLAN bus. When the K56 Serial Data
Gateway Module is not communicating, the scan tool can not communicate with the vehicle.

The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module has two microprocessors within the electronic control unit. Each
microprocessor is diagnosed/programmed independently via the scan tool because the two microprocessors do
not talk internally. Each of these processors are responsible for managing the traffic for specific communication
buses on the vehicle. The two particular buses that they will manage are high speed and low speed. If
communication does not exist or the particular micros have not been programmed, control modules won't be
able to communicate with or through the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module.

Low speed Microprocessor

• The low speed microprocessor is programmable via the X84 Data Link Connector (DLC) terminal 1. This
low speed bus between the X84 Data Link Connector and the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module is called
the Low Speed DLC Bus.
• The low speed microprocessor is capable of gating signals between the Low Speed DLC, the primary
Low Speed GMLAN, and the Gateway Isolated Low Speed GMLAN Buses.
• The low speed microprocessor is also capable of gating signals between the Object High Speed DLC Bus
(DLC terminals 3 & 11) and the Object High Speed GMLAN Bus.

High speed Microprocessor

• The high speed micro is programmable via the X84 Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals 6 & 14. This
high speed bus between the X84 Data Link Connector and the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module is called
High Speed DLC Bus.
• The high speed micro is capable of gating signals between the High Speed DLC, the primary High Speed

2 of 9
GMLAN, the Gateway Expansion High Speed GMLAN, and the Gateway Isolated High Speed GMLAN
Buses.
• The high speed micro is also capable of gating signals between the Chassis High Speed DLC Bus (DLC
terminals 12 & 13) and the Chassis High Speed GMLAN Bus.

High Speed GMLAN Bus (Circuits 2500 & 2501)

NOTE: Continuity check cannot be performed between the X84 Data Link Connector
and control modules on the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus.

A primary High Speed GMLAN Bus is used where data needs to be exchanged at a high enough rate to
minimize the delay between the occurrence of a change in sensor value and the reception of this information by
a control device using the information to adjust vehicle system performance.

The primary High Speed GMLAN serial data network consists of two twisted wires. One signal circuit is
identified as GMLAN-High and the other signal circuit is identified as GMLAN-Low. At each end of the data
bus there is a 120 Ω termination resistor between the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low circuits.

Data symbols (1's and 0's) are transmitted sequentially at a rate of 500 Kbit/s. The data to be transmitted over
the bus is represented by the voltage difference between the GMLAN-High signal voltage and the GMLAN-
Low signal voltage.

When the two wire bus is at rest the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low signal circuits are not being driven and
this represents a logic "1". In this state both signal circuits are at the same voltage of 2.5 V. The differential
voltage is approximately 0 V.

When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the GMLAN-High signal circuit is driven higher to about 3.5 V and the
GMLAN-Low circuit is driven lower to about 1.5 V. The differential voltage becomes approximately 2.0 (+/-
0.5) V.

High Speed DLC Bus (Circuits 1978 & 1979)

Between the X84 Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals 6 & 14 and the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module
terminals 15 X1 & 16 X1, there is a high speed bus called the High Speed DLC Bus. The High Speed DLC Bus
is similar to the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus. Between the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low circuits,
there is a 120 Ω termination resistor internal to the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module. There is no terminating
resistor at the DLC.

The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module uses its high speed microprocessor to gate signals between the High
Speed DLC, the primary High Speed GMLAN, the Gateway Expansion High Speed GMLAN, and the Gateway
Isolated High Speed GMLAN Buses.

Chassis High Speed GMLAN Bus (Circuits 6105 & 6106) (if equipped)

NOTE: Continuity check cannot be performed between the X84 Data Link Connector
and control modules on the Chassis High Speed GMLAN Bus.

The Chassis High Speed GMLAN Bus (or Chassis Expansion Bus) is basically a copy of the High Speed
GMLAN Bus except that its use is reserved for chassis components. This implementation splits message
congestion between two parallel buses helping to insure timely message transmission and reception. Sometimes
communication is required between the Chassis High Speed GMLAN Bus and the primary High Speed
GMLAN Bus. This is accomplished by using the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module as the Gateway

3 of 9
module. Since the Chassis High Speed GMLAN Bus and primary High Speed GMLAN Bus operate in the same
manner, the diagnostics for each are similar.

Chassis High Speed DLC Bus (Circuits 1980 & 1981)

Between the X84 Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals 12 & 13 and the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module
terminals 17 X1 & 18 X1, there is a high speed bus called the Chassis High Speed DLC Bus. The Chassis High
Speed DLC Bus is similar to the Chassis High Speed GMLAN Bus. Between the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-
Low circuits, there is a 120 Ω termination resistor internal to the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module. There is no
terminating resistor at the DLC.

The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module uses its high speed microprocessor to gate signals between the Chassis
High Speed DLC Bus and the Chassis High Speed GMLAN Bus.

Powertrain High Speed GMLAN Bus (Circuits 7493 & 7494) (if equipped)

NOTE: Continuity check cannot be performed between the X84 Data Link Connector
and control modules on the Powertrain High Speed GMLAN Bus.

The Powertrain High Speed GMLAN Bus (or Powertrain Expansion Bus) is basically a copy of the High Speed
GMLAN Bus except that its use is reserved for Powertrain components. The bus is optional based upon feature
content. Sometimes communication is required between the Powertrain High Speed GMLAN Bus and the
primary High Speed GMLAN Bus. This is accomplished by using the K20 Engine Control Module as the
Gateway module. Since the Powertrain High Speed GMLAN Bus and the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus
operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are similar.

Powertrain Sensor High Speed GMLAN Bus (Circuits 4498 & 4499) (if equipped)

NOTE: Continuity check cannot be performed between the X84 Data Link Connector
and control modules on the Powertrain Sensor High Speed GMLAN Bus.

The Powertrain Sensor High Speed GMLAN Bus is basically a copy of the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus
except that its use is reserved for Powertrain components. The bus is optional based upon feature content.
Sometimes communication is required between the Powertrain Sensor High Speed GMLAN Bus and the
primary High Speed GMLAN Bus. This is accomplished by using the K20 Engine Control Module as the
Gateway module. Since the Powertrain Sensor High Speed GMLAN Bus and the primary High Speed GMLAN
Bus operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are similar.

Object High Speed GMLAN Bus (Circuits 3811 & 3813) (if equipped)

NOTE: Continuity check cannot be performed between the X84 Data Link Connector
and control modules on the Object High Speed GMLAN Bus.

The Object High Speed GMLAN Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus except that its use is
reserved for the enhanced safety system. This implementation is used to isolate the heavy communication
among the enhanced safety system devices from the other vehicle buses, reducing congestion. The K124 Active
Safety Control Module is connected to the Object High Speed GMLAN Bus as well as the primary High Speed
GMLAN Bus, the Chassis High Speed GMLAN Bus, and the Low Speed GMLAN Bus. The K124 Active
Safety Control Module acts as a Gateway module for all required communication between the Object High
Speed GMLAN Bus devices and devices on these other vehicle buses. The Object High Speed GMLAN Bus
operates in the same manner as the Chassis High Speed GMLAN and primary High Speed GMLAN buses and
so the diagnostics are similar. The Object High Speed GMLAN Bus is physically partitioned into a Front Object

4 of 9
Bus and a Rear Object Bus with each partition having its own communication enable circuit to activate the
partition, but functional operation of both is identical. The Front Object Bus standard devices are the K124
Active Safety Control Module, the K109 Frontview Camera Module (or B174W Frontview Camera -
Windshield), and the B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long Range. The Front Object Bus optional devices are
the B233LF Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Left Front and the B233RF Radar Sensor Module - Short
Range Right Front. The Rear Object Bus is optional and when present will have the K124 Active Safety Control
Module, B233LR Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Left Rear, and B233RR Radar Sensor Module - Short
Range Right Rear on the bus. All Object High Speed GMLAN Bus components are powered by the K124
Active Safety Control Module via the communication enable circuits, except the K109 Frontview Camera
Module (or B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield) which is powered directly by battery.

Object High Speed DLC Bus (Circuits 2089 & 2090)

Between the X84 Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals 3 & 11 and the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module
terminals 13 X1 & 14 X1, there is a high speed bus called the Object High Speed DLC Bus. The Object High
Speed DLC Bus is similar to the Object High Speed GMLAN Bus. Between the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-
Low circuits, there is a 120 Ω termination resistor internal to the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module. There is no
terminating resistor at the DLC.

The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module uses its low speed microprocessor to gate signals between the Object
High Speed DLC Bus and the Object High Speed GMLAN Bus.

Gateway Isolated High Speed GMLAN Bus (Circuits 1304 & 1305)

NOTE: Continuity check cannot be performed between the X84 Data Link Connector (or
control modules on the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus) and control modules
on the Gateway Isolated High Speed GMLAN Bus.

The Gateway Isolated High Speed GMLAN Bus is an extension of the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus
except it is separated from the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus by the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module for
cybersecurity protection. The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module verifies data messages being transmitted from
the control modules on the Gateway Isolated High Speed GMLAN Bus back to the primary High Speed
GMLAN Bus are good with valid transmitter messages. This bus does not terminate to the X84 Data Link
Connector.

The Gateway Isolated High Speed GMLAN Bus consists of two twisted wires. One signal circuit is identified as
GMLAN-High and the other signal circuit is identified as GMLAN-Low. At each end of the data bus there is a
120 Ω termination resistor between the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low circuits.

Gateway Expansion High Speed GMLAN Bus (Circuits 3935 & 3936)

NOTE: Continuity check cannot be performed between the X84 Data Link Connector (or
control modules on the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus) and control modules
on the Gateway Expansion High Speed GMLAN Bus.

The Gateway Expansion High Speed GMLAN Bus is not cybersecurity protected and does not terminate at the
X84 Data Link Connector. This expansion bus is created to alleviate the throughput on the primary High Speed
GMLAN Bus.

The Gateway Expansion High Speed GMLAN Bus consists of two twisted wires. One signal circuit is identified
as GMLAN-High and the other signal circuit is identified as GMLAN-Low. At each end of the data bus there is
a 120 Ω termination resistor between the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low circuits.

Ethernet Bus (if equipped)

At the core of the infotainment system is the Radio Ethernet Audio Video Bridging switch which communicates
directly to each contributing Infotainment module terminator. The Ethernet harness consists of twisted pair
wires from point to point. Each device on the Ethernet infotainment system sends/receives data at 100 Mbit/s
to/from a specified port at the A11 Radio. The Radio/Ethernet will also be used to program USB software
update files to the devices connected to the Ethernet ports.

The A11 Radio is the Ethernet master. The Radio communicates with other devices and systems in the vehicle
via GMLAN and LIN buses. Diagnostic Trouble Codes will be read on GMLAN to diagnose Ethernet, LIN and
system faults. GMLAN will also be used for programming calibrations.

Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) Bus (Circuits 3997 & 3998) (if equipped)

The MOST Infotainment network is a dedicated high speed multimedia streaming data bus independent from
GMLAN. The MOST Bus will be configured in a physical hardwired loop with each device within the bus
sends and receives data on an assigned MOST addresses in a set order. Each device on the MOST Bus will be
required to have twisted pair copper wires (2 transmit TX, 2 receive RX, and 1 electronic control line which is a
12 V wakeup signal line). The A11 Radio is the MOST Master and will monitor the bus for vehicle
configuration, Infotainment data messages and errors on the bus. The MOST initialization consists of a short
100 ms low voltage pulse on the electronic control line (or MOST control line) connected to all devices
contained on the MOST ring. This wakeup message once received by each device, will first respond with a
generic device response. Once these initial responses on the MOST Bus are reported successfully without error
to the A11 Radio, the second data request will record the MOST device addresses, their functionality
requirements and capabilities within. The A11 Radio will learn this information and also record the address
node sequence on the MOST Bus at this point. This node address list will now be stored within the A11 Radio
as the MOST Bus configuration (called "Last Working MOST ID of Node 1 - 9" on scan tool data display).

When MOST receive, transmit, or control line faults are detected, transmit/receive messages will not received
as expected from the wakeup request. The A11 Radio and the K74 Human Machine Interface Control Module
will then perform diagnostics to isolate these MOST faults. If the MOST control line is shorted low to 0 V for
excess amount of time, the A11 Radio will set a U2098 DTC and K74 Human Machine Interface Control
Module will set a U0029 02 DTC. At this point the MOST Bus will be unable to communicate until the shorted
MOST control line is repaired.

Once the shorted MOST control line diagnostics pass, the A11 Radio will attempt to resend the initial short
pulse attempts up to 3 times on the MOST control line. If the expected responses are not received, the A11
Radio continues into a failure mode setting a U0028 DTC and will continue on to send one 300 ms long pulse,
which will enable the furthest upstream transmitting device to become the surrogate MOST Master in this
MOST fault/diagnostic mode. When the A11 Radio receives this new MOST Master identity, the surrogate
MOST master device can be identified based on scan tool data parameter "Surrogate MOST Master Node
Upstream Position". The scan tool should be used to determine the MOST Bus configuration and direction by
utilizing the "Last Working MOST ID of Node 1 - 9" parameters from the A11 Radio data display. When a fault
is present, it will indicate the newly enabled "Surrogate MOST Master Node Upstream Position" from the A11
Radio. This will assist in determining where the MOST bus/control is at fault. The MOST device upstream from
the surrogate MOST master device, transmit, receive, or control lines will be the suspect areas for diagnostics at
this point. These faults can be associated with any of the MOST transmit, receive, or control line twisted copper
wires or possibly an internal device fault.

The K74 Human Machine Interface Control Module will set a U0029 00 DTC when it diagnoses a MOST bus
not communicating properly after one attempt. When the DTC U0029 00 is set by the K74 Human Machine
Interface Control Module without the corresponding DTC U0028 from the A11 Radio, it will be an indication

6 of 9
of an intermittent wiring/device condition.

FlexRay Bus (if equipped)

The FlexRay Bus is developed for safety related applications and higher data rate in real time application. The
communication is time triggered. The FlexRay serial data network consists of two unshielded twisted wires to
connect FlexRay nodes together. A FlexRay node is a device connected to a FlexRay Bus.

The FlexRay serial data network features 2 communication channels: channel A and channel B. Each channel
may be operated at a data rate of up to 10 Mbit/s. FlexRay nodes can be connected to either both channels or a
single channel. Each FlexRay channel consists of multiple branches. Each branch is a private bus. At each end
of a branch, there is a 100 Ω terminating resistor connected between the pair of FlexRay serial data circuits. The
terminating resistors can be external or internal to a FlexRay device.

The second FlexRay channel can be used as a redundant channel for fault toleration or to increase data rate of
up to 20 Mbit/s. The dual channel configuration consists of two independent data channels for fault-tolerance.
When one channel fails, the communication can still continue with reduced bandwidth.

Low Speed GMLAN Bus (Circuit 5060)

NOTE: Continuity check cannot be performed between the X84 Data Link Connector
and control modules on the Low Speed GMLAN Bus.

Low Speed GMLAN Bus is used in applications where a high data rate is not required which allows for the use
of less complex components. It is typically used for operator controlled functions where the response time
requirements are slower than those required for dynamic vehicle control.

The Low Speed GMLAN Serial Data Network consists of a single wire, ground referenced bus with high side
voltage drive. During on road vehicle operation data symbols (1's and 0's) are transmitted sequentially at the
normal rate of 33.3 Kbit/s. For component programming only, a special high speed data mode of 83.3 Kbit/s
may be used.

Unlike the high speed dual wire networks, the single wire low speed network does not use terminating resistors
at either end of the network.

The data symbols to be transmitted over the bus are represented by different voltage signals on the bus. When
the Low Speed GMLAN Bus is at rest and is not being driven, there is a low signal voltage of approximately
0.2 V. This represents a logic "1". When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the signal voltage is driven higher to
around 4.0 V or higher.

Low Speed DLC Bus (Circuit 2100)

Between the X84 Data Link Connector (DLC) terminal 1 and the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module terminal 26
X1, there is a low speed bus called the Low Speed DLC Bus. The Low Speed DLC Bus is similar to the primary
Low Speed GMLAN Bus.

The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module uses its low speed microprocessor to gate signals between the Low
Speed DLC, the primary Low Speed GMLAN, and the Gateway Isolated Low Speed GMLAN Buses.

Gateway Isolated Low Speed GMLAN Bus (Circuit 1102)

NOTE: Continuity check cannot be performed between the X84 Data Link Connector (or
control modules on the primary Low Speed GMLAN Bus) and control modules

7 of 9
on the Gateway Isolated Low Speed GMLAN Bus.

The Gateway Isolated Low Speed GMLAN Bus is an extension of the primary Low Speed GMLAN Bus except
it is separated from the primary Low Speed GMLAN Bus by the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module for
cybersecurity protection. The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module verifies data messages being transmitted from
the control modules on the Gateway Isolated Low Speed GMLAN Bus back to the primary Low Speed
GMLAN Bus are good with valid transmitter messages. This bus does not terminate to the X84 Data Link
Connector.

Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus

The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus consists of a single wire with a transmission rate of 10.417 Kbit/s.
This bus is used to exchange information between a master control module and other smart devices which
provide supporting functionality. This type of configuration does not require the capacity or speed of either a
High Speed GMLAN Bus or Low Speed GMLAN Bus and is thus relatively simpler.

The data symbols (1's and 0's) to be transmitted are represented by different voltage levels on the
communication bus. When the LIN Bus is at rest and is not being driven, the signal is in a high voltage state of
approximately Vbatt. This represents a logic "1". When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the signal voltage is
driven low to about ground (0.0 V).

Communication Enable Circuit Description

Devices on High Speed GMLAN Bus enable or disable communication based on the voltage level of the Serial
Data Communication Enable circuit or Accessory Wakeup Serial Data circuit. When the circuit voltage is high
(around 12 V), communications are enabled. When the circuit is low, communications are disabled.

X84 Data Link Connector (DLC)

The X84 Data Link Connector is a standardized 16-cavity connector. Connector design and location is dictated
by an industry wide standard, and is required to provide the following:

• Terminal 1: Low Speed GMLAN Serial Data #3 terminal (Low Speed DLC Bus)
• Terminal 3: High Speed GMLAN Serial Data (+) (13) terminal (Object High Speed DLC Bus)
• Terminal 4: Scan tool power ground terminal
• Terminal 5: Common signal ground terminal
• Terminal 6: High Speed GMLAN Serial Data (+) (11) terminal (High Speed DLC Bus)
• Terminal 11: High Speed GMLAN Serial Data (-) (13) terminal (Object High Speed DLC Bus)
• Terminal 12: High Speed GMLAN Serial Data (+) (12) terminal (Chassis High Speed DLC Bus)
• Terminal 13: High Speed GMLAN Serial Data (-) (12) terminal (Chassis High Speed DLC Bus)
• Terminal 14: High Speed GMLAN Serial Data (-) (11) terminal (High Speed DLC Bus)
• Terminal 16: Scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal

Serial Data Reference

The scan tool communicates over the various buses on the vehicle. When a scan tool is installed on a vehicle,
the scan tool will try to communicate with every device that could be optioned into the vehicle. If an option is
not installed on the vehicle, the scan tool will display No Comm (or Not Connected) for that optional device. In
order to avert misdiagnoses of No Communication with a specific device, refer to Data Link References for a
list of devices and the buses they communicate with. Use schematics and specific vehicle build RPO codes to

8 of 9
determine optional devices.

Circuit/System Description

The serial data circuit is the means by which the devices in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the
scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the Data Link Connector (DLC), the scan tool can be
used to monitor each device for diagnostic purposes and to check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). Each
device communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health message to ensure that the device is
operating properly. When a device stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for example if the device
loses power or ground, the state of health message it normally sends on the serial data circuit disappears. Other
devices on the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that state of health message, detect its absence; those
devices in turn set a DTC associated with the loss of state of health of the non-communicating device. The DTC
is unique to the device which is not communicating and one or more devices may set the same exact code. A
loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the devices that contain the stored code.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• Specific subsystems will not function.


• DTC U0100 in the Transmission Control Module will cause the transmission to go into default gears.
• Both DTC U0100 in the Transmission Control Module and DTC U0101 in the Engine Control Module
will cause the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The Engine Control Module or Transmission Control Module turns 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 device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.

63 of 142
Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between some devices and the scan tool with either the low or high
speed GMLAN serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to those devices using multiple serial
data communication systems.
• Use Data Link References to determine what serial data communications the device uses.
• Some devices 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 device.
• Some intermittent communication concerns may be caused by fretting corrosion on the serial data circuit
terminals. Inspect all connectors at the device that set the communication DTC, the device that the
communication DTC was set against, and any inline harness connectors between the two devices. Do not
replace a device based only on fretting corrosion. Refer to bulletin 09-06-03-004 for assistance with the
diagnosis and repair of this condition, if applicable.
• This diagnostic can be used for any device that is not communicating, regardless of the type of serial data
circuit it is connected to, providing the vehicle is equipped with the device.
• This diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the common no communication DTCs: U0100, U0101,
U0102, U0103, U0104, U0105, U0106, U0109, U010E, U010F, U0111, U0112, U0115, U0117, U0121,

Circuit/System Description

Devices connected to the Powertrain Sensor High Speed GMLAN serial data circuits (circuits 4498 and 4499)
monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands
are exchanged among the devices. The devices have prerecorded information about what messages are needed
to be exchanged on the serial data circuits, for each virtual network. The messages are supervised and also,
some periodic messages are used by the receiver device as an availability indication of the transmitter device.
Each message contains the identification number of the transmitter device. A loss of serial data communications
DTC does not represent a failure of the devices that contain the stored DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Specific subsystems will not function.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.


• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a

70 of 142
repeat of the malfunction.

Circuit/System Description

The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus consists of a single wire with a transmission rate of 10.417 Kbit/s.
The serial data is transmitted over a LIN circuit between a master control module and other LIN devices within
a particular subsystem. If serial data communication is lost between any of the LIN devices on the LIN bus
network, the master control module will set a no communication code against the non-communicating LIN
device.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Specific subsystems will not function.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.


• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.

78 of 142
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Some devices 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 device.
• An open in the LIN bus serial data circuit between the splice pack and a LIN device will only affect that
specific LIN device. This type of failure will set a loss of communication DTC for each LIN device
affected and the other LIN devices will still communicate.

Circuit/System Description

The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus consists of a single wire with a transmission rate of 10.417 Kbit/s.
The serial data is transmitted over a LIN circuit between a master control module and other LIN devices within
a particular subsystem. If serial data communication is lost between any of the LIN devices on the LIN bus
network, the master control module will set a no communication code against the non-communicating LIN
device.

Conditions for Running the DTC

111 of 142
The system voltage is between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Specific subsystems will not function.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.


• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Some devices 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 device.
• Some intermittent communication concerns may be caused by fretting corrosion on the serial data circuit
terminals. Inspect all connectors at the device that set the communication DTC, the device that the
communication DTC was set against, and any inline harness connectors between the two devices. Do not
replace a device based only on fretting corrosion. Refer to bulletin 09-06-03-004 for assistance with the
diagnosis and repair of this condition, if applicable.
• An open in the LIN bus serial data circuit between the splice pack and a LIN device will only affect that

112 of 142
specific LIN device. This type of failure will set a loss of communication DTC for each LIN device
affected and the other LIN devices will still communicate.
• This diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the common LIN DTCs: U1340, U1341, U1342,
U1343, U1344, U1345, U1346, U1347, U1348, U1349, U134A, U134B, U134C, U134D, U134E, U134F,

Circuit/System Description

The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus consists of a single wire with a transmission rate of 10.417 Kbit/s.
The serial data is transmitted over a LIN circuit between a master control module and other LIN devices within
a particular subsystem. If serial data communication is lost between any of the LIN devices on the LIN bus
network, the master control module will set a no communication code against the non-communicating LIN
device.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is between 9-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Specific subsystems will not function.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.


• A history DTC clears when the device ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold of 50, without a
repeat of the malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

117 of 142
• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• A device may have a U code stored in history that does not require any repairs. Issues with late or
corrupted messages between devices can be temporary with no apparent symptom or complaint; this does
not mean the device is faulty. Do not replace a device based only on a history U code.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication will be available between the master control module and the scan tool if there is a loss of
communications with any of the other LIN devices on the LIN bus network.
• Some devices 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 device.
• Some intermittent communication concerns may be caused by fretting corrosion on the serial data circuit
terminals. Inspect all connectors at the device that set the communication DTC, the device that the
communication DTC was set against, and any inline harness connectors between the two devices. Do not
replace a device based only on fretting corrosion. Refer to bulletin 09-06-03-004 for assistance with the
diagnosis and repair of this condition, if applicable.
• An open in the LIN bus serial data circuit between the splice pack and a LIN device will only affect that
specific LIN device. This type of failure will set a loss of communication DTC for each LIN device
affected and the other LIN devices will still communicate.
• This diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the common LIN DTCs: U1500, U1501, U1502,
U1503, U1504, U1505, U1506, U1507, U1508, U1509, U150E, U150F, U1510, U1511, U1512, U1513,

Circuit/System Description

The serial data circuit is the means by which the devices in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the
scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the X84 Data Link Connector (DLC), the scan tool can
be used to monitor each device for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). When
the vehicle is ON, each device communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health message to
ensure that the device is operating properly. When a device stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for
example if the device loses power or ground, the state of health message it normally sends on the serial data
circuit disappears. Other devices on the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that state of health message,
detect its absence; those devices in turn set a DTC associated with the loss of state of health of the non
communicating device. A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the devices
that contain the stored DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

132 of 142
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Circuit/System Description

A security policy value called Not Before ID is stored in K56 Serial Data Gateway Module memory. This is a
hex number identifier used by cyber security calibrations to prevent programming an earlier model year security
calibration into a current or subsequent model year. If the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module is reprogrammed
with a security calibration that contains a security policy value greater than the value that is currently stored in
memory, then the security policy value is updated in memory to the new value. The value in memory can only
be incremented and can never be decremented. If the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module is reprogrammed with a
security calibration that contains a security policy value lower than the value stored in the memory, then DTC
U1980 will be set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Battery voltage is between 9 - 16 V.


• Vehicle power mode is Ignition/Vehicle OFF, ACCESSORY, or Ignition ON/Vehicle In Service Mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

On the first startup after the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module is reprogrammed, it detects that the security
policy value in the security calibration is lower than the value stored in the memory.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module will not gate any message from dirty buses to clean buses.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The security policy value in the memory is updated with the new value in the security calibration which shall be
equal to or greater than the value currently stored in the memory.

* No communications with one or more high speed GMLAN devices. An open in only one high speed
GMLAN serial data circuit may allow degraded communication between the devices. An open between
the X84 Data Link Connector (DLC) and the K56 Serial Data Gateway Module will only affect the
communication with the scan tool. The devices will still communicate.
1. No communication with any high speed GMLAN device

Circuit/System Description

The devices connected to the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications
during normal vehicle operation. The serial data is transmitted on two twisted wires that allow speeds up to 500
kbit/s. The twisted pair is terminated with two 120 Ω resistors, one is internal to the K20 Engine Control
Module (ECM) and the other can be a separate resistor in a connector assembly or in another device. The
resistors are used as the load for the High Speed GMLAN bus during normal vehicle operation. The high speed
GMLAN is a differential bus. The high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) and high speed GMLAN serial data
(-) are driven to opposite extremes from a rest or idle level of approximately 2.5 V. Driving the lines to their
extremes, adds 1 V to the high speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) circuit and subtracts 1 V from the high speed
GMLAN serial data bus (-) circuit. If serial data is lost, devices will set a no communication code against the
non-communicating device. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not represent a failure of the device that set
it.

Diagnostic Aids

• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis.
A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between some devices and the scan tool with the high speed GMLAN
serial data system inoperative. This condition is due to those devices using multiple serial data
communication systems.
• An open in the X84 Data Link Connector ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but
not communicate with the vehicle.
• The engine will not start when there is a total malfunction of the high speed GMLAN serial data bus.

124 of 158
• Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC) and no high speed GMLAN communications with the scan tool.
• Some devices may not have internal protection for specific voltage outputs and may open a battery
positive voltage or ignition voltage source fuse. If a voltage input fuse is open and no short is found in
that circuit, ensure that no device output voltage circuit is shorted to ground before replacing the device.

131 of 158
Circuit/System Description

The devices connected to the low speed GMLAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications
during normal vehicle operation. The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate devices. The
transmission speed for GMLAN low speed is up to 83.33 kbit/s. Under normal vehicle operating conditions, the
speed of the bus is 33.33 kbit/s. The devices toggle the serial data circuit between 0 - 5 V during normal
communications. To wake the devices connected to the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit, a voltage wake
up pulse of 10 V is sent out. If serial data is lost, devices will set a no communication code against the non-
communicating device. A loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the device that
set it.

Diagnostic Aids

• Sometimes, while diagnosing a specific customer concern or after a repair, you may notice a history U
code present. However, there is no associated "current" or "active" status. Loss of communication U
codes such as these can set for a variety of reasons. Many times, they are transparent to the vehicle
operator and technician, and/or have no associated symptoms. Eventually, they will erase themselves
automatically after a number of fault-free ignition cycles. This condition would most likely be attributed
to one of these scenarios:
A device on the data communication circuit was disconnected while the communication circuit is
awake.
Power to one or more devices was interrupted during diagnosis
A low battery condition was present, so some devices stop communicating when battery voltage
drops below a certain threshold.
Battery power was restored to the vehicle and devices on the communication circuit did not all re-
initialize at the same time.
If a loss of communication U code appears in history for no apparent reason, it is most likely
associated with one of the scenarios above. These are all temporary conditions and should never be
interpreted as an intermittent fault, causing you to replace a part.
• Do not replace a device reporting a U code. The U code identifies which device needs to be diagnosed for
a communication issue.
• Communication may be available between the device and the scan tool with the low speed GMLAN serial
data system inoperative. This condition is due to the device using both the high and low speed GMLAN
systems.
• An open in the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit between the splice pack and a device will only
affect that specific device. This type of failure will set a loss of communication DTC for each device
affected, and the other devices will still communicate.
• An open in the X84 Data Link Connector ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but
not communicate with the vehicle.
• The engine may not start when there is a total malfunction of the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
• Technicians may find various Local Area Network (LAN) communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC) and no low speed LAN communications with the scan tool.
• These conditions may be caused by the installation of an aftermarket navigation radio device (see
bulletins). Some customers may comment of one or more of the following concerns:
Vehicle will not crank
Vehicle cranks but will not start

132 of 158
Vehicle stability enhancement system warning lights and messages
PRNDL gear indicator position errors
• Some devices may not have internal protection for specific voltage outputs and may open a battery
positive voltage or ignition voltage source fuse. If a voltage input fuse is open and no short is found in
that circuit, ensure that no device output voltage circuit is shorted to ground before replacing the device.

Circuit/System Description

The K56 Serial Data Gateway Module is used to handle communications between multiple GMLAN busses and
functions as a gateway to isolate the secure networks from the unsecured networks. When the K56 Serial Data
Gateway Module is not communicating, the scan tool can not communicate with the vehicle.

146 of 158
Diagnostic Aids

• An open in the X84 Data Link Connector ground circuit terminal 5 will allow the scan tool to operate but
not communicate with the vehicle.
• Some devices may not have internal protection for specific voltage outputs and may open a battery
positive voltage or ignition voltage source fuse. If a voltage input fuse is open and no short is found in
that circuit, ensure that no device output voltage circuit is shorted to ground before replacing the device.

1. Head-Up Display Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The head-up display projects a full color image onto the windshield and is only viewable from the driver seat.
The image location and brightness is adjustable using the head-up display switch. The image information is
received from the instrument cluster through a video cable.

The head-up display is a slave device to the instrument cluster. The head-up display is powered through ignition
voltage and ground. It communicates directly with instrument cluster via serial data and only has limited self-
diagnosis capacity. Head-up display DTCs are reported through the Instrument Cluster.

The head-up display switch is a multiplexed switch that controls the head-up display based on driver inputs. The
head-up display provides the switch with a low reference and monitors a signal circuit. The head-up display
switch is made up of a resistor ladder and three switches: Dim +/-, Up/Down, and Page. When a switch is
pressed, the signal voltage is pulled low through the resistor ladder. When pressed, each of the switches will

12 of 137
result in a different signal voltage seen by the head-up display, depending on the switch's location on the resistor
ladder.

Circuit/System Description

The ambient air temperature sensor is located behind the grille. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the
ambient air temperature sensor utilizing a low reference circuit and signal circuit. The ECM monitors the
voltage drop across the sensor, which is inversely proportional to temperature. When the ambient air
temperature is cold, the resistance of the sensor is high. When the ambient air temperature is warm, the
resistance of the sensor is low. The ECM converts the voltage value to a temperature value. The ECM also
sends the temperature value to other control modules via serial data.

1. Fuel Gauge Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The fuel level sensor changes resistance based on fuel level. The Fuel Pump Driver Control Module monitors
the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor and sends the signal information to the Engine Control Module (ECM)
for all further handling. The ECM uses this value in order to determine the fuel level. When the fuel tank is full,
the resistance of the fuel level sensor is low and the ECM senses a low signal voltage on the signal circuit of the
fuel level sensor. When the fuel tank is empty, the resistance of the fuel level sensor is high and the ECM senses
a high signal voltage. The ECM uses the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor in order to calculate the
percentage of remaining fuel in the tank. The Fuel Pump Driver Control Module sends the fuel level percentage
via High Speed CAN-Bus to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the fuel level percentage
via Low Speed CAN-Bus to the instrument cluster in order to control the fuel gauge.

1. Fuel Gauge Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The fuel level sensor changes resistance based on fuel level and is wired to the Fuel Pump Driver Control
Module. The Fuel Pump Driver Control Module sends the fuel level sensor reading to the Engine Control
Module (ECM) via serial data. The ECM monitors the fuel level sensor signal in order to determine the fuel
level. When the fuel tank is full, the resistances of both fuel level sensors are low. When the fuel tank is empty,
the resistances of the fuel level sensors are high. The ECM uses the signal voltages of the primary fuel level
sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor (integrated in the fuel tank) to calculate the percentage of remaining
fuel in the tank. The ECM sends the fuel level percentage via serial data to the body control module (BCM).
The BCM then sends the fuel level percentage via serial data to the P16 Instrument Panel Cluster Control
Module to control the fuel gauge.

1. Tachometer Inaccurate or Inoperative

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) creates the engine speed signal by pulsing the engine speed signal circuit at a
rate of 2 pulses per engine revolution. The Radio converts the 2 pulses per engine revolution signal to an engine
speed value used for active noise cancellation purposes. The ECM monitors the voltage at the engine speed
signal circuit to determine when the voltage is out of the normal operating range.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• The engine speed is more than 400 RPM.


• The ignition voltage is between 9 - 18 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

• The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the signal circuit do not
match.
• The above condition must be present for a minimum of 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM displays the failure
information in the Failure Records on the scan tool.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
• The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction-free warm-up cycles.

Engine Oil Level Switch


Circuit Short to Ground Open Short to Voltage
Operating Conditions: Ignition ON
Parameter Normal Range: OK
Engine Oil Level Sensor/Switch Signal OK Low OK
Engine Oil Level Sensor/Switch Ground - Low -

Circuit/System Description

The engine oil level sensor/switch is normally-closed with proper engine oil level. The switch opens when the
engine oil level drops below a calibrated level. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the engine oil level
signal circuit when the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF. With the switch in the closed position, the ECM
detects a low voltage on the signal circuit. With the switch in the open position, the ECM detects a high voltage
on the signal circuit. When high voltage is detected on the signal circuit, the ECM will send a serial data
message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The IPC will then display a message on the driver information
center (DIC) or illuminate a low engine oil level lamp.

The following information determines the message sent from the ECM to the IPC:

• The Low Engine Oil Level message lamp is displayed only after the ECM detects a high voltage on the
signal circuit for three consecutive ignition cycles, followed by an ignition OFF event from 15 minutes to
greater than 50 minutes, depending on engine oil temperatures.
• The Low Engine Oil Level message is turned OFF when the ECM detects a low voltage on the signal
circuit after an ignition OFF event for greater than 90 seconds, followed by an ignition ON event for less
than 1 second.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects a high voltage on the signal circuit for three consecutive ignition cycles, followed by an
ignition OFF event from 15 minutes to greater than 50 minutes, depending on engine oil temperatures.

1. Fuel Gauge Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The fuel level sensor changes resistance based on fuel level. The Fuel Pump Driver Control Module monitors
the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor and sends the signal information to the Engine Control Module (ECM)
for all further handling. The ECM uses this value in order to determine the fuel level. When the fuel tank is full,
the resistance of the fuel level sensor is low and the ECM senses a low signal voltage on the signal circuit of the
fuel level sensor. When the fuel tank is empty, the resistance of the fuel level sensor is high and the ECM senses
a high signal voltage. The ECM uses the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor in order to calculate the
percentage of remaining fuel in the tank. The Fuel Pump Driver Control Module sends the fuel level percentage
via High Speed CAN-Bus to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the fuel level percentage
via Low Speed CAN-Bus to the instrument cluster in order to control the fuel gauge.

Circuit/System Description

The fuel level sensor changes resistance based on fuel level and is wired to the Fuel Pump Driver Control

93 of 137
Module. The Fuel Pump Driver Control Module sends the fuel level sensor reading to the Engine Control
Module (ECM) via serial data. The ECM monitors the fuel level sensor signal in order to determine the fuel
level. When the fuel tank is full, the resistances of both fuel level sensors are low. When the fuel tank is empty,
the resistances of the fuel level sensors are high. The ECM uses the signal voltages of the primary fuel level
sensor and the secondary fuel level sensor (integrated in the fuel tank) to calculate the percentage of remaining
fuel in the tank. The ECM sends the fuel level percentage via serial data to the body control module (BCM).
The BCM then sends the fuel level percentage via serial data to the P16 Instrument Panel Cluster Control
Module to control the fuel gauge.

1. Head-Up Display Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The head-up display projects a full color image onto the windshield and is only viewable from the driver seat.
The image location and brightness is adjustable using the head-up display switch. The image information is
received from the instrument cluster through a video cable.

The head-up display is a slave device to the instrument cluster. The head-up display is powered through ignition
voltage and ground. It communicates directly with instrument cluster via serial data and only has limited self-
diagnosis capacity. Head-up display DTCs are reported through the Instrument Cluster.

The head-up display switch is a multiplexed switch that controls the head-up display based on driver inputs. The
head-up display provides the switch with a low reference and monitors a signal circuit. The head-up display
switch is made up of a resistor ladder and three switches: Dim +/-, Up/Down, and Page. When a switch is
pressed, the signal voltage is pulled low through the resistor ladder. When pressed, each of the switches will
result in a different signal voltage seen by the head-up display, depending on the switch's location on the resistor
ladder.

Circuit/System Description

The engine oil level sensor/switch is normally-closed with proper engine oil level. The switch opens when the
engine oil level drops below a calibrated level. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the engine oil level
signal circuit when the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF. With the switch in the closed position, the ECM
detects a low voltage on the signal circuit. With the switch in the open position, the ECM detects a high voltage
on the signal circuit. When high voltage is detected on the signal circuit, the ECM will send a serial data
message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The IPC will then display a message on the driver information
center (DIC) or illuminate a low engine oil level lamp.

The following information determines the message sent from the ECM to the IPC:

• The Low Engine Oil Level message lamp is displayed only after the ECM detects a high voltage on the
signal circuit for three consecutive ignition cycles, followed by an ignition OFF event from 15 minutes to
greater than 50 minutes, depending on engine oil temperatures.
• The Low Engine Oil Level message is turned OFF when the ECM detects a low voltage on the signal
circuit after an ignition OFF event for greater than 90 seconds, followed by an ignition ON event for less
than 1 second.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Circuit/System Description

The ambient air temperature sensor is located behind the grille. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the
ambient air temperature sensor utilizing a low reference circuit and signal circuit. The ECM monitors the
voltage drop across the sensor, which is inversely proportional to temperature. When the ambient air
temperature is cold, the resistance of the sensor is high. When the ambient air temperature is warm, the
resistance of the sensor is low. The ECM converts the voltage value to a temperature value. The ECM also
sends the temperature value to other control modules via serial data.

Diagnostic Instructions

• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The instrument cluster displays the engine coolant temperature, fuel level, vehicle speed and the engine speed
based on the information from the engine control module (ECM). The ECM sends information via serial data to
the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via serial data to the instrument cluster
to display the engine coolant temperature, fuel level, the engine speed, the vehicle speed and the distance
travelled, either in kilometers or miles, based on the vehicle requirements. The instrument cluster will display
dashes when its VIN does not match the VIN received from the BCM.

Diagnostic Aids

If the VIN mismatch is corrected the odometer will once again be displayed in the instrument cluster. If the
vehicle is driven for a calibrated distance with a VIN mismatch, it will cause the instrument cluster odometer to
enter into an error mode and lock itself. When this occurs the dashes will remain on the display even after
correcting the VIN mismatch. The vehicle odometer status data display on the scan tool can be used to identify
a locked odometer. The only way to unlock the instrument cluster (clear the dashes from the display) is to
perform an SPS programming event. Failure to follow the diagnostic and programming procedures may result in
either an improper odometer value or a module replacement.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


AUDIBLE WARNINGS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. If equipped with an
serial data communicating audio amplifier, the audio amplifier generates the audible warnings through the
speakers. If not equipped with an audio amplifier, the radio generates the audible warnings through the
speakers. The radio or audio amplifier receives audible warning requests via serial data. If the radio or audio
amplifier receives multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority sounds first.
Different audible warnings may sound with a different frequency or a different chime pattern, depending on the
system or module making the request. The chime volume may be selectable through vehicle personalization.

Audible Warnings or Chimes

The following is a list of common audible warnings or chimes. For additional chimes or complete system
description, refer to the appropriate system's Description and Operation or the vehicle owner's manual.

• Driver Seat Belt Reminder - If the vehicle is started and the seat belt is unbuckled, the BCM requests the
radio or audio amplifier sound a chime to indicated that the belt is unbuckled. This is accompanied by a
flashing driver seat belt indicator on the instrument cluster. If the belt remains unbuckled, the chime cycle
may continue multiple times if the vehicle is driven and the indicator will remain on solid.
• Passenger Seat Belt Reminder - If the passenger presence system determines that their is an occupant in
the passenger seat and the vehicle is started with the passenger seat belt unbuckled, the BCM requests the
radio or audio amplifier sound a chime to indicated that the belt is unbuckled. This is accompanied by a
flashing passenger seat belt indicator. If the belt remains unbuckled, the chime cycle may continue
multiple times if the vehicle is driven and the indicator will remain on solid. If an object is placed on the
passenger seat, the passenger presence system may interpret this as a passenger occupying the seat.
Because the passenger seat belt is unbuckled, the passenger seat belt reminder chime will sound. To

129 of 137
correct this, remove the object from the passenger seat.
• Exterior Lamps On Warning - If the exterior lamps are left on after the ignition is turned off and the
driver door is opened, the BCM will request the radio or audio amplifier sound a chime as an indicator
that the exterior lamps are on.
• Electric Parking Brake (if equipped) - If the electric parking brake switch is pressed while the vehicle is
in motion, the parking brake control module will request the radio or audio amplifier sound a chime. To
release the parking brake, the brake pedal must be pressed when the electric parking brake switch is
pressed. If the brake pedal is not pressed, the parking brake control module will request the radio or audio
amplifier sound a chime. A message will also appear on the driver information center.
• Delayed Locking - If the keyless entry transmitter is not in the vehicle and the door lock switch is pressed
with the driver door open, the BCM will request the radio or audio amplifier sound a chime three times to
indicate that the vehicle has entered a delayed locking state. The doors will automatically lock five
seconds after the last door is closed.
• Object Detection - The object detection system sends various chime requests to the radio or audio
amplifier during normal operation.

Additional Warnings

The following warnings have an associated instrument cluster indicator or driver information center message:

• Turn Signal Indicators - The radio or audio amplifier activates the audible warning as requested by the
BCM.
• Vehicle Overspeed Message - The radio or audio amplifier activates the audible warning as requested by
the BCM.
• Fuel Level Low Message - The radio or audio amplifier activates the audible warning as requested by the
BCM.
• Oil Pressure Indicator - The radio or audio amplifier activates the audible warning as requested by the
BCM.
• Tire Pressure Low Indicator - The radio or audio amplifier activates the audible warning as requested by
the BCM.
• Antilock Brake Indicator - The radio or audio amplifier activates the audible warning as requested by the
electronic brake control module.
• Engine Cooling System Messages - The radio or audio amplifier activates the audible warning as
requested by the engine control module.
• Transmission Messages - The radio or audio amplifier activates the audible warning as requested by the
transmission control module.

Backup Alarm (with 8S3)

When transmission placed in reverse, the Body Control Module (BCM) activates the KR61 Trailer Backup
Lamps Relay which supplies 12V to the reverse lamps and the Backup Alarm simultaneously.

DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The driver information center is located in the lower middle portion of the instrument cluster, between the
speedometer and the tachometer. The driver information center displays information about the vehicle and
allows the operator to access applications. It also displays warning messages if a system problem is detected.

The driver information center is made up of three zones. The left zone is a list of the applications that can be

130 of 137
displayed. The right zone contains choices to customize what information is displayed for the respective
application chosen. In the middle is the interactive application display zone. The application display zone
allows access to the navigation application, audio application, phone application, or settings applications. The
information display zone contains multiple pages that display vehicle information. The compass and PRNDL
are displayed at all times in the lower portion of the display zone.

The driver information center can also be configured with several different themes. Changing the theme is
accomplished using the infotainment system faceplate settings page. The chosen theme is used for both the
faceplate and the driver information center displays.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The head-up display projects an image on the windshield that is viewed from the driver seat. Information that is
relevant to what the drive is currently doing is displayed, as well as any safety-critical information as it is
happening.

The components of the head-up display are:

• Head-Up Display
• Instrument Cluster
• Head-Up Display Switch

Head-Up Display

The head-up display is a slave device to the instrument cluster. The head-up display is powered through ignition
voltage and ground. It communicates directly with instrument cluster via serial data and only has limited self-
diagnosis capacity. Head-up display DTCs are reported through the instrument cluster.

The head-up display projects a full color image onto the windshield and is only viewable from the driver seat.
The image location and brightness is adjustable using the head-up display switch. The image information is
received from the instrument cluster through a video cable.

On some models, the head-up display image rotation is also adjustable in the DIC customizations using the
steering wheel controls.

Instrument Cluster

The instrument cluster sends the image information to the head-up display via a discrete video cable. The image
sent to the head-up display is closely related to the information currently being displayed on the instrument
cluster or driver information center. For example, if an incoming phone call is displayed in the cluster, this
information will be displayed on the head-up display. If a navigation alert is shown in the cluster, then a turn-
by-turn alert will display on the head-up display. When the operator interacts with the instrument cluster using
the steering wheel mounted driver information center switch, the head-up display also responds to the
interaction. If the operator dismisses the navigation alert on the instrument cluster, it is also removed from the
head-up display.

Head-Up Display Switch

The head-up display switch is a multiplexed switch that controls the head-up display based on driver inputs. The
head-up display provides the switch with a low reference and monitors a signal circuit. The head-up display
switch is made up of a resistor ladder and three switches: Dim +/-, Up/Down, and Page. When a switch is
pressed, the signal voltage is pulled low through the resistor ladder. When pressed, each of the switches will

131 of 137
result in a different signal voltage seen by the head-up display, depending on the switch's location on the resistor
ladder.

Head-Up Display Operation

In normal operation, the operator may select from three different display configurations. These display
configurations provide the operator with different information, with the vehicle speed being the primary item,
along with the following standard indicators:

• Turn signal indicators


• High beam indicator
• Lane departure warning indicator (if equipped)
• Vehicle detected ahead indicator (if equipped)
• Adaptive cruise control on indicator (if equipped)

Standard/Speed Configuration

The head-up display projects only the vehicle speed. Additionally, the outside air temperature, compass, and
time may also be displayed.

Audio Configuration

The head-up display will project the current audio information when listening to the audio system and the active
phone information if the operator is on a phone call.

Navigation Configuration

The head-up display will project navigation information. If a current route is being followed, turn by turn
instructions and arrows will be displayed. If no route is programed, the compass heading is displayed.

Performance Configuration

The head-up display will project RPM and PRNDL information.

Adaptive Cruise Control Configuration (if equipped)

The head-up display will project the selected following distance when adaptive cruise control is active.

132 of 137
CHANGE TIMING BELT MESSAGE (without LWN/LIH)

The Instrument Cluster monitors the odometer mileage to determine when timing belt (if equipped) replacement
may be necessary. After the vehicle has accumulated approximately 100, 000 miles (160, 000 kilometers), the
Instrument Cluster may display the CHANGE TIMING BELT message. After the engine timing belt has been
replaced, reset the CHANGE TIMING BELT message by locating and removing the fuses that supply power to
the Instrument Cluster for two minutes.

CHANGE TIMING BELT MESSAGE (LWN)

The Instrument Cluster monitors the odometer mileage to determine when timing belt replacement may be
necessary. After the vehicle has accumulated approximately 100, 000 miles (160, 000 kilometers), the
Instrument Cluster may display the CHANGE TIMING BELT message. After the engine timing belt has been
replaced, reset the CHANGE TIMING BELT message by performing the Instrument Cluster control function
Timing Belt Life Reset , using the scan tool.

CHANGE TIMING BELT MESSAGE (LIH)

The Instrument Cluster monitors the odometer mileage to determine when timing belt replacement may be
necessary. After the vehicle has accumulated 150, 000 miles (240, 000 kilometers), the Instrument Cluster may
display the CHANGE TIMING BELT message. After the engine timing belt and oil pump drive belts have been
replaced, reset the CHANGE TIMING BELT message by performing the Instrument Cluster control function
Timing Belt Life Reset , using the scan tool.

BRAKES OVERHEATED

The Electronic Brake Control Module monitors brake usage and compares it to an internal thermal model to
determine if the brakes could become overheated. If the Electronic Brake Control Module determines the brakes
pads have exceeded a desirable temperature based on the thermal model, it sends a serial data message to the
Instrument Cluster to display the BRAKES OVERHEATED message. The message remains displayed until the
estimated temperature returns to a desirable range.

Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator

The Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator (if equipped) is located on the center console and indicates the
current transmission shift lever position. The Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicator receives power and
ground and is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM) via serial data. The Transmission Control Module
determines transmission shift lever position based on signals from the Transmission Internal Mode Switch and
sends the shift lever position information to the BCM via serial data.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


Instrument Cluster (with RPO UDC)

The instrument cluster is a multifunction module that provides the vehicle operator with information that is
critical to vehicle operation, such as vehicle speed, engine RPM, oil pressure, battery voltage, fuel level, and
coolant temperature, using analog gauges. The instrument cluster also provides the operator with operational
warnings and message through various indicators and the driver information center. The driver information
center is a one color multifunction display that is located in the instrument cluster. The driver information center
has several screens that can be scrolled through by twisting the trip reset stem.

Indicators and Warning Messages

Refer to Indicator/Warning Message Description and Operation.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge (if equipped)

The instrument cluster displays the engine coolant temperature as determined by the engine control module
(ECM). The ECM sends the engine coolant temperature information via serial data to the body control module
(BCM). The BCM then sends the information via a serial data to the instrument cluster to display the engine
coolant temperature.

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge (if equipped)

The IPC displays the engine oil pressure as determined by the ECM. The engine oil pressure sensor changes
voltage based on the engine oil pressure. The engine oil pressure sensor is a 3-wire sensor comprising of the
signal circuit, the low reference circuit and the 5 V reference circuit. The ECM supplies 5 V to the engine oil
pressure sensor via the 5 V reference circuit and provides ground via the low reference circuit. The ECM
monitors the signal circuit of the engine oil pressure sensor to determine if the engine oil pressure sensor
voltage is within the normal operating range of approximately 1 - 4 V. When the engine oil pressure is high, the
engine oil pressure sensor voltage is high and the ECM senses a high signal voltage. When the engine oil
pressure is low, the engine oil pressure sensor voltage is low and the ECM senses a low signal voltage. The
ECM sends the engine oil pressure information to the instrument cluster via serial data. The instrument cluster
will illuminate or display the engine oil pressure indicator when the engine oil pressure is low. The engine oil
pressure gauge defaults to 0 kPa (0 psi) if:

• The ECM detects a malfunction in the engine oil pressure sensor signal circuit.
• The IPC detects a loss of serial data communication with the ECM.

Fuel Level Gauge

The K20 Engine Control Module monitors the fuel level sensor. When the fuel tank is full, the resistances of the
fuel level sensor is low and the control module senses a low signal voltage on the signal circuit of the fuel level
sensor. When the fuel tank is empty, the resistance of the fuel level sensor is high and the control module senses
a high signal voltage. The K20 Engine Control Module converts the signal input to a fuel level value. The ECM
sends the fuel level signal via serial data to the BCM. The BCM then sends the information via serial data to the
instrument cluster to display the fuel level.

The instrument cluster displays the fuel level based on the information from the ECM. If the fuel level falls
under 11% the instrument cluster will illuminate the low fuel level indicator. The fuel gauge defaults to empty
if:

• The ECM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.


• The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
• The instrument cluster detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.

Speedometer

The instrument cluster displays the vehicle speed based on the information from the ECM. The ECM sends the
vehicle speed information via serial data to the BCM. The BCM then sends the vehicle speed information via
serial data to the instrument cluster to display the vehicle speed.

Odometer

135 of 137
The instrument cluster displays the vehicle odometer in the driver information center. The ECM send a distance
rolling count message via serial data to the body control module (BCM). The BCM uses this information to
calculate the vehicle odometer. This odometer value is then sent to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster
does not calculate the odometer.

The odometer value is stored in multiple modules. The instrument cluster is a secondary storage module for the
odometer, while the BCM is the primary storage and accumulator.

In addition to storing the odometer value for the vehicle, the instrument cluster and the BCM store the VIN.
Software checks are performed to ensure these modules, and their stored odometer information, can not be
move or transferred between different vehicles.

Tachometer

The instrument cluster displays the engine speed based on the information from the ECM. The ECM converts
the data from the crankshaft position sensor to an engine revolution signal. The ECM sends the engine speed
information via serial data to the BCM. The BCM then sends the information via serial data to the instrument
cluster to display the engine speed.

Compass (with UE1)

If equipped with this option, the vehicle compass information is gathered through the Telematics
Communication Interface Control Module. The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module
determines vehicle direction and communicates this with the BCM through serial data. The BCM sends the
compass information to the Instrument Cluster via serial data, where it is displayed.

Compass (without UE1)

If equipped with this option, the vehicle compass information is gathered through the Compass Module. The
Compass Module determines vehicle direction and communicates this with the BCM through serial data. The
BCM sends the compass information to the instrument cluster via serial data, where it is displayed.

Outside Air Temperature

The outside air temperature can be accessed through the driver information center Trip/Fuel switch function.
The driver information center shows the outside air temperature as a damped value. The time and rate of the
temperature update is based on an algorithm in the instrument cluster or ECM. Factors such as last temperature
reading, current temperature reading, length of time the vehicle was off, current vehicle speed, and the distance
driven effect when the displayed temperature is updated. To get the vehicle to display the most accurate
temperature faster, drive the vehicle. Constant moving traffic will update the display to the correct temperature
more quickly than stop and go traffic.

Driver Information Center Display

The driver information center is located in the lower middle portion of the instrument cluster, between the
speedometer and the tachometer. The driver information center displays information about the vehicle and
allows the operator to access applications. It also displays warning messages if a system problem is detected.

The driver information center is made up of three zones. The left zone is a list of the applications that can be
displayed. The right zone contains choices to customize what information is displayed for the respective
application chosen. In the middle is the interactive application display zone. The application display zone
allows access to the navigation application, audio application, phone application, or settings applications. The

136 of 137
information display zone contains multiple pages that display vehicle information. The compass and PRNDL
are displayed at all times in the lower portion of the display zone.

The driver information center can also be configured with several different themes. Changing the theme is
accomplished using the infotainment system faceplate settings page. The chosen theme is used for both the
faceplate and the driver information center displays.

Circuit/System Description

4 of 120
The side blind zone alert system sensors are located behind the rear fascia and detect and report objects on
either side of the vehicle, within a specified blind zone. The system alerts with a visual indicator placed on each
side rear view mirror, to the presence of objects that may not be visible in the inside rearview mirror and outside
rearview mirrors. When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forward, independent
if passing a vehicle or being passed, an amber warning symbol will light up in the appropriate outside mirror.
This indicates that it may be unsafe to change lanes. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the amber
warning symbol starts flashing and a chime sounds to give an extra warning not to change lanes. The side object
sensor module provides the voltage to the outside rearview mirror to illuminate the side blind zone alert symbol
on the mirror.

Side blind zone alert is active from speeds of 10 km/h (6.2 MPH) up to 140 km/h (87 MPH). Driving faster
deactivates the system, indicated by low lighting warning symbols in the mirrors. Driving under this speed
again will turn off the warning symbols. If then a vehicle is detected in blind zone, the warning symbols will
illuminate normally on the appropriate side. When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displays will
briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The control module has detected a malfunction.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The Side Blind Zone and Rear Cross Traffic Alert Systems will not function.
• The DIC will display "Service Side Detection System".

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• 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.

Diagnostic Aids

If DTC B094B 58 or B094C 58 is set, check for anything that can interfere with the radar signal. Verify area in
front of radar is clean of mud, ice, snow, etc. Also verify the fascia panels in front of the radar are damage-free
and not obstructed by any add-on accessories such as emblems, etc.

DTC B1011 00

System Disabled Information Stored Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The frontview camera module permanently monitors the serial data bus for error messages. When a malfunction
is detected by the frontview camera module, the system will be disabled and an error message will be stored in
the frontview camera module disable history buffer which is used to store information about the front camera
features that are disabled.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Ignition ON
• Frontview camera enabled

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The frontview camera module detects a malfunction.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The frontview camera module is disabled.


• The frontview camera module disable history buffer stores information why the system was disabled.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Diagnostic Aids

The frontview camera module disable history buffers are used to store information about the frontview camera
module features that are disabled. The buffers will only update if the disable condition changes.

Example: If the data received from the steering wheel angle sensor is Invalid across many ignition cycles then it
will only appear in 1 history buffer and not all history buffers. If this condition is the current reason why the
frontview camera module is disabled then it will be set in frontview camera module disable history buffer 1. If a

17 of 120
new reason occurs, such as vehicle speed validity is invalid, then the invalid steering wheel angle sensor fault
will shift into disable history buffer 2 and vehicle speed validity invalid will be in disable history buffer 1. Since
there are only 4 disable history buffers, the invalid steering wheel angle sensor will age out if 4 other disable
reasons occur since the last invalid steering wheel angle sensor event occurred. Frontview camera module
disable history buffer 1 contains the current reason that one of the frontview camera module features is disabled.

The frontview camera module disable history buffers can display the following values:

• Lane Departure Warning Indicator Malfunction


• Lane Departure Warning Switch Malfunction
• Camera Obstructed
• Accelerator Pedal Position Out of Range
• Driven Wheel Speed Signal Invalid
• Non-Driven Wheel Speed Signal Invalid
• Brake Pedal Moderate Travel Signal Invalid
• Brake Pedal Initial Travel Position Achieved
• Lost Communication with Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Module
• Invalid Data Received From Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Module
• Forward Collision Alert Switch Malfunction
• Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Sensor Performance
• Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Sensor Performance
• Transmission Gear Engaged
• Acceleration Sensor Longitudinal Signal
• Invalid Data Received From Yaw Rate Sensor Module
• Power Mode Controlled by Backup Device

1. Lane Keep Assist Switch Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The lane keep assist system is controlled by the B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield. Lane keep assist is
enabled and disabled through a switch located on the S48A Multifunction Switch - Instrument Panel. When
enabled, the B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield will illuminate the indicator located in the switch. The
switch is a normally open momentary switch. The B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield applies voltage to
the signal circuit. With the switch open (not pressed), voltage seen at the B174W Frontview Camera -
Windshield remains high. When the switch is closed (pressed), the signal circuit is pulled to ground and voltage
monitored by the B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield is low.

When the B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield is operating and can detect the lane markings, the B174W
Frontview Camera - Windshield will request via serial data communications that the green lane keep assist
indicator be illuminated on the P16 Instrument Cluster. As the vehicle approaches an indicated lane marking,
the lane keep assist indicator on the P16 Instrument Cluster will change to yellow and the vehicle will gently
steer back toward the center of the lane. If the B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield detects that the vehicle
has crossed a lane marking without the turn signal being used, it will request that the instrument cluster flash the
yellow lane keep assist indicator. An audible warning may also sound three times or the haptic seat (if
equipped) may pulse when the yellow lane keep assist indicator is flashing. The driver can select between
audible or haptic alerts in the vehicle personalization menu. See the Owner's Manual for more detailed
information on vehicle personalization.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield has detected a short to ground on the signal circuit for greater than
10 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• Lane keep assist is disabled.


• A service message is displayed on the driver information center.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.


• A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

Short Range Object Sensor Performance

For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List .

Circuit/System Description

The radar sensor module - short range performs internal fault detection on itself.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The radar sensor module - short range continually runs the program to detect faults.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

34 of 120
The radar sensor module - short range has detected an internal malfunction.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The control module will not function and the Active Safety System will be inoperative.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• 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.

Diagnostic Aids

• If DTC B900A 58 is set, verify the interior and exterior fascia areas of the radar sensor modules - short
range are clean and free of mud, ice, snow, etc., as well as being damage-free and unobstructed by any
add-on accessories, such as emblems or stickers. Additionally, if the vehicle's engine is running in a
garage-type environment, objects in close proximity to the radar sensor modules - short range, such as a
hoist, can also create a condition that will erroneously set DTC B900A 58. If this condition occurs, it can
be corrected by driving the vehicle for 4.8-8.0 km (3 - 5 miles) at a speed greater than 9 km/h (6 mph) in
normal traffic conditions.
• The radar sensor modules - short range cannot be swapped from side to side once they have been
installed. DTC B390A 67 may set if a radar sensor module - short range is reinstalled on the incorrect
side of the vehicle.
• If DTC B390A 45 is set, it is most often due to the radar not learning the vehicle position correctly rather
than an indication of an actual Software programming issue. To correct, run or re-run the set-up function
within the programming tool.

• B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long Range Mounting/Alignment: For (some) vehicles the "SERVICE
DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEM" message can be displayed without a DTC being set, when the long range
radar gets misaligned. Inspect the long range radar for proper mounting/alignment. In most cases, a
mounting/alignment issue may be caused by a front end impact/collision that may or may not be obvious.
Physically check the Long Range Radar Module bracket for damage and make sure it is in alignment.
Place the vehicle on a level surface. Use an angle gauge/level to make sure the bracket is mounted 90
degrees (+/- 3 degrees). After the Long Range Radar Module alignment has been checked and/or
corrected, perform the Radar Sensor Module - Long Range Learn
• B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield Mounting: Inspect the front view camera sensor, on the
windshield near the inside rearview mirror, to make sure it is attached properly to the windshield.
Calibrate the front camera module after repair. Refer to B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield: Scan
Tool Information
• Visually inspect the vehicle for any aftermarket add on equipment like bug deflectors, windshield
tint/banners, grille emblems, push bars, license plates, etc. These items could block the radar / camera's
view. Question the customer to see if this concern started after the installation of the aftermarket
equipment. Remove any aftermarket items and retest system for proper operation.
• The radars and front camera are continuously monitoring for a blocked condition and if it determines its
ability to "see" clearly is compromised, the radar/camera may become unavailable. When this occurs, the
cruise will disengage and/or no cruise engagement with an "Adaptive Cruise: Temporarily Unavailable"

46 of 120
message. Since the radars cannot visually "see" they rely on a complex blockage detection algorithm to
predict blockage. Also, keep in mind that the front camera cannot see through objects or debris, so the
camera can become visibly blocked. It is important to understand that disabling the adaptive cruise
control, as a result of sensor blockage, is a normal function of the system and is intended to protect the
driver from compromised system performance. Blockage detection is needed because if the radars/camera
were/was truly blocked, the adaptive cruise control would not function properly.
• Foul weather: Foul weather such as snow, ice, heavy rain, road spray conditions may limit the sensors
ability to "see". Also, a buildup of mud, snow, frost, dirt, bugs, etc. on the windshield or front fascia can
cause a blockage. This buildup can also occur on the back side of the fascia between the radar and back of
fascia. One example, if the windshield has a buildup of frost/snow/ice which covers the front camera, the
system may detect a blockage and disable the cruise. After the defroster warms the windshield and melts
away the frost/snow/ice the system will become operational. This example may appear to be an
intermittent issue.
• If driving in 4WD HI range (if equipped), adaptive cruise control will be disabled, which is normal.
(Adaptive cruise control will function in Auto 4WD.)
• Dark Rural Areas: In very dark rural areas, the front view camera may detect blockage.
• Very High Ambient Temperatures: Very high ambient temperatures may affect camera operation.
• Barren Environments: As part of the blockage detection algorithm, the radar may conclude it is blocked if
the radar does not "see" anything over a period of time. This can happen when driving in very bare
environments, such as deserts and rural areas where there are no large objects to detect like other vehicles,
bridges, building, trees, signs, mail boxes, guard rails, etc. Below is an example photo of an area where
the radar may determine a blockage because there are no objects in the environment for the radar to "see".
In these cases, if the system does not detect an object within approximately 60 seconds or 1.2 miles (2
km) the cruise will be disengaged and a "ADAPTIVE CRUISE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE"
message. If there were other vehicles on the road for the radar to detect there would not be any issues.

SEAT HAPTIC SIGNAL MOTOR MALFUNCTION


Diagnostic Instructions

• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The haptic seats, also known as Active Safety Seats, provide a vibration to alert the driver in certain
circumstances. There are two motors in the driver's seat cushion. Either the right or left motor can run or both
depending on the alert. The K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver provides the output voltage for the
motors. The K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver receives serial data requests from other modules to
activate the appropriate seat motors with the number of pulses requested. While the motors are activated, the
K40D Seat Memory Control Module - Driver checks for either shorts to voltage or shorts to ground. Due to the
nature of the PWM signal, if a motor circuit is open, it may be reported as either a short to voltage or short to
ground.

Diagnostic Aids

The infotainment personalization menu allows the user to set alerts to be either haptic through the seats or audio
beeps through the radio. Refer to the Owner's Manual to verify this setting.

Circuit/System Description

The B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield performs a self-test to verify if a malfunction exists within the
system. During the power-up mode, the B174W Frontview Camera - Windshield also checks for a valid
calibration data set. If a malfunction or invalid calibration data is detected within the system, the Service Front
Camera message will be displayed on the driver information center.

The Service Front Camera message is also displayed when the K124 Active Safety Control Module is not
communicating with the instrument cluster on the low speed GMLAN serial data bus.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the front view camera sensor, on the windshield near the inside rearview mirror, to make sure it is
attached properly to the windshield.

Visually inspect the vehicle for any aftermarket add on equipment like bug deflectors, windshield tint/banners,
grille emblems, push bars, license plates, etc. These items could block the camera's view. Question the customer
to see if this concern started after the installation of the aftermarket equipment. Remove any aftermarket items
and retest system for proper operation

Foul weather such as snow, ice, heavy rain, road spray conditions may limit the sensors ability to "see". Also, a
buildup of mud, snow, frost, dirt, bugs, etc. on the windshield can cause a blockage. One example, if the
windshield has a buildup of frost/snow/ice which covers the front camera, the system may detect a blockage.
After the defroster warms the windshield and melts away the frost/snow/ice the system will become operational.

In some instances, a "Forward Collision System Reduced" message or "Automatic Collision Prep Reduced"
message may be displayed on the driver information center. This is a normal result of forward automatic
braking being set to "Alert" instead of "Alert and Brake" in vehicle personalization. No correction is necessary;
this is normal operation. Discuss with the customer the operating characteristics of the vehicle personalization
settings and set forward automatic braking to "Alert and Brake" if desired.

Circuit/System Description

The forward collision alert system is controlled by the frontview camera module mounted on the windshield.
The system is designed to detect vehicles directly ahead, within a distance of approximately 60 meters (197 ft).
The forward collision alert system operates at speeds above 3 km/h (2 mph). When the system detects a vehicle
in the path ahead, the green vehicle ahead alert indicator in the driver information center is illuminated. When
approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the collision alert symbol will flash and the radio will beep or the
haptic seat will pulse, depending on user configuration. The red collision alert display will stay continuously
illuminated if the vehicle ahead remains much too close. These actions are requested by the frontview camera
module via serial data. The forward collision alert switch is part of the left steering wheel controls and is used to
adjust the timing sensitivity of the front collision alert system.

Diagnostic Aids

Camera Mounting: Inspect the front view camera sensor, on the windshield near the inside rearview mirror, to
make sure it is attached properly to the windshield. Calibrate the front camera module after repair. Refer to
Front View Camera Module Learn

Certain factors will affect the operation of the forward collision alert system. Forward collision alert is intended
to detect vehicles. It is not intended to warn the driver of any objects that are not detected as a vehicle such as
pedestrians, animals, signs, guard rails, bridges, construction barrels or other stationary or slow moving objects.
In few cases the camera may inadvertently detect a vehicle that is not in the path ahead, or the system may
occasionally provide unrealistic alerts. This could occur with a turning vehicle ahead, guard rails, traffic signs,
or other stationary objects. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. When the system is
operating properly, the green vehicle ahead alert indicator will illuminate on the vehicle direction display when
the system detects a vehicle in the path ahead. This indicates that all of the required operating conditions are
met. The green vehicle ahead alert indicator will not appear when the system is having difficulty seeing other
vehicles on the road. This can occur if the front view camera is blocked with mud, dirt, snow, ice, slush, if the

54 of 120
windshield is damaged, or when weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain, or snow conditions.
This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service.

Additionally, the Front View Camera Disable History can give useful hints about what affected the operation of
the forward collision alert system. For the Front View Camera Disable History, refer to DTC B1011.

In some instances, a "Forward Collision System Reduced" message or "Automatic Collision Prep Reduced"
message may be displayed on the driver information center. This is a normal result of forward automatic
braking being set to "Alert" instead of "Alert and Brake" in vehicle personalization. No correction is necessary;
this is normal operation. Discuss with the customer the operating characteristics of the vehicle personalization
settings and set forward automatic braking to "Alert and Brake" if desired.

1. Rear Cross Traffic Alert Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The same sensors are also used for side blind zone alert. The sensors use radar
to determine the presence of objects near the back of the vehicle. When an object is detected in the rear cross
traffic zone, the module will send out a signal through serial data communication to turn on the visual icons and
also audio chime or haptic notification. Each sensor is supplied B+ and ground. The right sensor receives an
additional ground. Both sensors communicate independently on the serial data line. The serial data enters the
left sensor in a pass-thru configuration, that connects to the right sensor. The scan tool is able to individually
communicate with each sensor.

Diagnostic Aids

• The rear cross traffic alert system uses the same sensors as side blind zone alert so a malfunction may
affect either or both systems.
• The conditions for disabling the rear cross traffic alert system are captured by DTCs. The drivers
information center will display Service Side Detection System if one of the sensors has failed. A B101E
47 Electronic Control Unit Software VIN Not Programmed DTC in history will not affect sensor
operation and the module should not be replaced for this DTC.
• The rear cross traffic system can be disabled if any off the following occur:
The driver has selected the Off mode through vehicle personalization menus. The selected mode is
retained over ignition cycles. A driver information center message stating that the Rear Cross
Traffic System Alert Off shall be displayed.
There is a loss of serial data communication with a sensor or between modules.
• The side blind zone may be temporarily unavailable due to the following:
A blockage condition exists (i.e. mud/snow buildup in front of the sensor). A driver information
message "Side Detection System Unavailable" will be displayed. The side blind zone system
transitions back to the normal operating state when the blockage is removed. Bumper sticks, fascia
damage, labels, and heavy rain storms may also cause this condition. The blockage determination is
performed with the vehicle in a drive gear.
The rear cross traffic alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus
and calculate if the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe
and Japan and require the sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable"
message will be displayed to the driver when this occurs.
• The rear cross traffic alert system is designed to ignore stationary objects; however, the system may
occasionally detect pedestrians, shopping carts, or other objects. This is normal system operation and
does not require service.

57 of 120
• The rear cross traffic alert system may indicate an object if a trailer is attached to the vehicle, or a bicycle
or object is extending out to either side of the vehicle. This is normal operation and does not require
service.

• The side blind zone system can be disabled if any off the following occur:
Disabled by Driver Personalization
There is a loss of serial data communication with a sensor or between modules.
• The side blind zone may be temporarily unavailable due to the following:
A blockage condition exists (i.e. mud/snow buildup in front of the sensor). A driver information
message "Side Detection System Unavailable" will be displayed. The side blind zone system
transitions back to the normal operating state when the blockage is removed. Bumper sticks, fascia
damage, labels, and heavy rain storms may also cause this condition. The blockage determination is
performed with the vehicle in a drive gear.
The side blind zone alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus and
calculate if the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe and
Japan and require the sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable" message
will be displayed to the driver when this occurs.
• Because the sensors are identical, they may be swapped from one side of the vehicle to the other in an
attempt to isolate a concern. Sensors should NOT be swapped from one vehicle to another.
• The side blind zone system is designed to ignore stationary objects; however, the system may
occasionally detect guard rails, signs, trees, shrubs, or other stationary objects as an object in the blind
zone. This is normal system operation and does not require service.
• The side blind zone system may indicate an object in the blind zone if a trailer is attached to the vehicle,
or a bicycle or object is extending out to either side of the vehicle. This is normal operation and does not
require service.
• Lane Change Alert (LCA) can be disabled in vehicle personalized settings, this will also disable the Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system. When disabled, the bulb check of the mirror indicators will also be
disabled. A driver information center message will be displayed at start up when the LCA system is
disabled. This feature must be enabled prior to trying to diagnose the system.

1. Lane departure warning switch malfunction.
2. Lane departure warning switch indicator malfunction.

Circuit/System Description

The lane departure warning system is enabled and disabled through the lane departure switch. When enabled,
the lane departure warning indicator will illuminate.

For vehicles without UGN, the switch and indicator are connected to the frontview camera module. The
frontview camera module supplies a reference voltage to the lane departure switch. When the switch is pressed,
the signal circuit is grounded. When enabled, the frontview camera module will illuminate the indicator located
in the switch when lane departure warning system is enabled.

With UGN, the indicator and switch are connected to the active safety control module. The active safety control
module receives input from several modules including the Parking Assist Control Module to provide additional
features. The lane departure warning alerts and DTCs are from the frontview camera module with the exception
of the indicator DTCs which are sent by the active safety control module. There are no switch DTCs for
vehicles with the active safety control module.

65 of 120
When the system is operating and can detect the lane markings, the frontview camera module will request via
serial data communications that the instrument cluster illuminate the green lane departure warning symbol. If
the frontview camera module detects that the vehicle unintentionally crosses a lane marking without the turn
signal being used, the module will request the instrument cluster to flash the amber lane departure warning
indicator. An audible warning will also sound three times when the amber lane departure warning indicator in
the instrument cluster is flashing.

Diagnostic Aids

Certain factors will affect the operation of the lane departure warning system. When the system is operating
properly, the indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster. This indicates that all of the required operating
conditions to permit lane departure warning have been met. The indicator will not appear when the system is
having difficulty seeing the lines on the road or if the view of the frontview camera is blocked with mud, dirt,
snow, ice, or slush, if the windshield is damaged, or when weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog,
rain, or snow conditions. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. Additionally, lane
departure warnings may occasionally occur in a properly operating vehicle due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in
the road, or other road imperfections. This is normal system operation and the vehicle does not require service.
The driver information center may also display Lane Departure System Unavailable due to the temporary
conditions listed above.

Additionally, the Frontview Camera Disable History can give useful hints about what affected the operation of
the lane departure warning system. For the Frontview Camera Disable History, refer to Control Module
References for scan tool information.

FRONT VIEW CAMERA MODULE LEARN


Calibration (without UGN)

The calibration process for the front view camera system is necessary when a front view camera module is
replaced by a new one. This process is required anytime the module is removed from it's bracket, or the
windshield glass has been replaced, and the frontview camera module has been mounted again properly. Any
maintenance, repair, or part replacement that impacts the vehicle ride height will also require frontview
camera calibration. This process shall be completed within 3 - 5 minutes when the correct driving conditions
are met. If conditions are not met, the front view camera module shall continuously run the service point
calibration until successfully completed. This process shall work across ignition cycles and shall not be required
to be re-initialized at start up. If the Lane Departure Warning Switch is pressed during calibration, the indictor
will flash momentarily and then stay out - this is normal operation.

During this time the Lane Departure Warning amber indicator will illuminate.

To calibrate the front camera, operate the vehicle in the following conditions until the calibration is complete:

• Clean windshield.
• Avoid lane changes.
• Maintain vehicle speeds between 56 - 90 km/h (35 - 56 MPH).
• Ensure the road contains visible references (well defined lane markings, curbs, etc.).

Calibration Procedure

1. Apply the parking brake.


2. Place the transmission in Park (if applicable)
3. Install scan tool
4. Navigate to the module diagnostics menu
5. Select Frontview Camera Module
6. Select Configuration/Reset Functions menu Item
7. Select the Frontview Camera Learn procedure and follow the directions displayed on the screen.
8. Drive the vehicle to complete calibration.

Once the procedure is complete, the amber indicator will turn off. Shortly after the green ready to assist light
should turn on as long as all conditions are met for normal operation and the system is left ON. The system is
then ready to assist.

78 of 120
Calibration (with UGN)

New modules must be SPS programmed prior to calibration, refer to Control Module References

The calibration process for the front view camera system is necessary when a front view camera module is
replaced by a new one. This process is required anytime the module is removed from it's bracket, or the
windshield glass has been replaced, and the frontview camera module has been mounted again properly. Any
maintenance, repair, or part replacement that impacts the vehicle ride height will also require frontview
camera calibration. This process shall be completed within 3 - 5 minutes when the correct driving conditions
are met. If conditions are not met, the front view camera module shall continuously run the service point
calibration until successfully completed. This process shall work across ignition cycles and shall not be required
to be re-initialized at start up. If the Lane Departure Warning Switch is pressed during calibration, the indictor
will flash momentarily and then stay out - this is normal operation.

NOTE: Calibration is not required if the existing module was reprogrammed. This
procedure only needs to be conducted if the module was replaced.

Once SPS programming is complete, it is necessary to initiate the calibration using a scantool. During this time
the "Service Driver Assist" service message will be displayed.

To calibrate the front camera, operate the vehicle in the following conditions until the calibration is complete:

• Clean windshield.
• Avoid lane changes.
• Maintain vehicle speeds between 56 - 90 km/h (35 - 56 MPH).
• Ensure the road contains visible references (well defined lane markings, curbs, etc.).

Calibration Procedure

NOTE: It is necessary to have the scan tool connected during the entire process.
Do not back out of the screen or press any other buttons.

1. Apply the parking brake.


2. Place the transmission in Park (if applicable)
3. Install scan tool
4. Navigate to the module diagnostics menu
5. Select Frontview Camera Module
6. Select Configuration/Reset Functions menu Item
7. Select the Frontview Camera Learn procedure and follow the directions displayed on the screen.
8. Do not disconnect the scan tool, drive the vehicle to complete calibration.

Once the procedure is complete, the service message will turn off and normal operation will resume. Shortly
after the green ready to assist light should turn on as long as all conditions are met for normal operation. The
system is then ready to assist.

If Slow to Calibrate

The ideal calibration condition is driving on a 2 lane divided highway with markings on both sides of the lane.
One or more of the following conditions may increase the length of time required to complete the self-

79 of 120
calibration procedure:

• Heavy traffic
• Stop and go traffic
• Mountain roads
• Curves in roadway
• Poor contrast lane markings
• Botts' Dots type lane markings
• Operating the vehicle speed is greater than 90 km/h (56 MPH)
• Driving through snow or fog, or driving directly into the sun
• Camera not properly installed. Verify it is snapped into tabs and is secure. Refer to Front View Camera
Replacement.

No Calibration

Conditions that will prevent completion of the self-calibration procedure:

• Dirty windshield glass or obstruction on windshield


• Operating the vehicle with speed less than 56 km/h (35 MPH)
• No visible lane markings
• Severe weather where lane markings cannot be seen
• Camera not properly installed. Verify it is snapped into tabs and is secure. Refer to Front View Camera
Replacement.

RADAR SENSOR MODULE - LONG RANGE LEARN

NOTE: An ADAPTIVE CRUISE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE message may be


displayed on the driver information center if this calibration procedure is
required. The B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long Range may have become
misaligned.

After replacing and programming the B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long Range, it is necessary to perform a
calibration procedure to align the radar. This is indicated by DTC B101E 4B being set as current. Calibration is
performed while driving the vehicle with the scan tool connected. Calibration is initialized using a scan tool and
the scan tool must remain connected until calibration is complete. During this time the SERVICE DRIVER
ASSIST message will be displayed on the driver information center. Once the procedure is complete, the
message will turn off and normal operation will resume.

Calibration is not required if the existing B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long Range was only programmed.
Calibration needs to be conducted if the B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long Range was replaced or removed
and re-secured.

If calibration is not successful, it could be due to improper driving environment, radar and bracket assembly
bent out of position, or incorrect radar mounting. A typical driving environment is usually sufficient to calibrate
the module within 10 - 30 minutes. Visually inspect for damaged, bent, or broken B233B Radar Sensor Module
- Long Range bracket. Brackets out of level more than 2 degrees will not calibrate or self-learn. Discuss with
the customer about vehicle history and possible past accident. Replace bracket if damaged.

80 of 120
Calibration Procedure

1. Verify no other DTCs, except for DTC B101E 4B, are set.
If other DTCs are set

Diagnose any other DTCs first. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .

Go to next step: If no other DTCs are set


2. Prior to driving the vehicle make sure the surface in front of the B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long
Range is clean. Also, verify the mounting area is not damaged and allows the B233B Radar Sensor
Module - Long Range to face the intended direction.
3. Prepare the scan tool to be mobile for Long Range Radar Calibration driving phase. The scan tool needs
to stay connected during the driving phase of the calibration.
4. Engine running.

NOTE: Once calibration has begun, do not back out of screen or press any other
buttons on the scan tool until the calibration is complete.

5. Select Long Range Radar Sensor Module Learn on the scan tool and follow any on-screen instructions.
The driver information center will display the SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST message during calibration.
6. Drive the vehicle within the following conditions for 10 - 30 minutes or until calibration is complete. The
SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST message will turn off when calibration is complete.
• Drive at speeds greater than 56 kph (35 mph)
• Minimize tight curves
• Avoid extreme acceleration or deceleration
• Follow one or multiple vehicles. (typical vehicle traffic is sufficient, but vehicles 30 m - 50 m (100
- 165 ft) away are most effective at decreasing the calibration time)
• Drive in an environment that has stationary objects on the side of the road (street signs, guard rails,
mail boxes, fences, etc.)
7. Verify proper calibration by observing that the SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST message turns off within 10 -
30 minutes of normal driving.
If the SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST message fails to turn off
1. Verify DTC B390C 66 is not set
If the DTC is set

Refer to DTC B390C.

Go to next step: If the DTC is not set


2. Refer to If Slow to Calibrate below and repeat the calibration procedure following recommended
operating conditions.
Go to next step: If the SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST message turns off
8. Drive at speeds greater than 40 kph (25 mph) and verify engagement of adaptive cruise control.
If adaptive cruise control will not engage

Check vehicle for DTCs and correct as required.

81 of 120
Go to next step: If adaptive cruise control engages
9. All OK.

If Slow to Calibrate

The ideal calibration condition is driving on a freeway or two lane road with medium traffic. One or more of the
following conditions may increase the length of time required to complete the self-calibration procedure:

• Visually inspect for damaged, bent, or broken Long Range Radar bracket. Brackets out of level more than
2 degrees will not calibrate or self-learn. Discuss with the customer about vehicle history and possible
past accident. Replace bracket if damaged.
• Heavy traffic - following too close behind vehicles for long periods (more than 40 min)
• Stop and go or very slow traffic
• Mountain roads
• Constant sharp curves in roadway
• No traffic - if no traffic is available, may need to add vehicle ahead to support calibration
• Limited or no stationary structures on side of the road - need structures such as street signs, guard rails,
mail boxes, parked cars, etc.
• Driving in tunnels

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The active safety system is a comprehensive feature set designed to help a driver avoid collisions or reduce
crash damage while driving, backing, and parking. The K124 Active Safety Control Module is the primary
controller for the active safety system. The active safety control module communicates on multiple serial data
busses to share information with various control modules throughout the vehicle. The active safety control
module uses various sensors and control modules to monitor the vehicle surroundings and take deliberate action
to avoid collisions or reduce crash damage. The active safety system tightly integrates the forward collision
alert, adaptive cruise control, parking assist, and active emergency braking systems into a single cohesive
system.

The active safety control module communicates via serial data on the object detection bus with the B174W
Frontview Camera - Windshield or K109 Frontview Camera Module, B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long
Range, radar sensor module - short range left front, and radar sensor module - short range right front to create a
virtual fusion image of the area in front of the vehicle. The active safety control module observes an actual
visual image of the area directly ahead of the vehicle, within 60 m (197 ft), with the frontview camera. The
radar sensor module - long range is used to measure the distance to objects that are up to 200 m (656 ft) in front
the vehicle and the two radar sensor modules - short range are used to measure the distance to objects that are
within 30 m (98 ft) of the front of the vehicle. Within 60 m (197 ft) of the vehicle, all of these inputs are
combined to create a fusion image of the area in front of the vehicle. At up to 200 m (656 ft), the radar sensor
module - long range will detect and begin tracking objects immediately in front of the vehicle. Within 60 m
(197 ft), the frontview camera will confirm objects that have been detected by the radar sensor module - long
range. The two radar sensor modules - short range improve cut-in detection, which are objects that enter the
vehicle path from the side and are not necessarily detected by the frontview camera and radar sensor module -
long range, who's focus are those object directly in front of the vehicle.

The fusion image created by the active safety control module is used to detect collision risks and take action

82 of 120
based on the immediacy of the risk. The a collision risk exists, the active safety control module will alert the
driver using the forward collision alert system. This will provide the driver with a visual and audible or haptic
alert that a collision risk has been detected. If the driver does not take action to reduce the risk of collision, such
as changing lanes or applying the brakes, the intelligent brake assist system will pre-fill the brake hydraulic
system to reduce system response time and increase pressure when quickly applying the brakes. If a collision
risk is imminent, the active safety control module will enter automatic collision preparation, which will
automatically apply the brakes in an effort to mitigate the collision or reduce collision damage.

The active safety control module communicates with the steering wheel angle sensor and the multi-axis
acceleration sensor via serial data on the chassis expansion bus. These sensors are used to determine the
intended vehicle path. Using the steering data and vehicle acceleration data, the active safety control module
will determine where the vehicle will be traveling and focus attention on objects in this path. An example would
be a driver quickly changing lanes to avoid a collision. This would mitigate the collision risk in the previous
lane and the active safety control module would quickly transition to tracking objects for any collision risk in
the new lane based on intended vehicle path. The active safety control module also communicates with the
electronic brake control module to instigate the braking functions of intelligent brake assist and automatic
collision preparation.

At the rear of the vehicle, the active safety control module uses the radar sensor module - short range left rear,
radar sensor module - short range right rear, and the parking assist control module as part of the backing
warning system and the rear automatic braking system. Typical rear parking assist utilizes the parking assist
control module and the four ultrasonic rear parking assist sensors to detect object when reversing at speed of up
to 8 km/h (5 mph). The backing warning systems utilizes both the four ultrasonic rear parking assist sensors, as
well as the radar sensor module - short range left rear and radar sensor module - short range right to detect
object at speeds above 8 km/h (5 mph). The rear automatic braking system is intended to help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by backing crashes or prevent the vehicle from being from being reversed into an object if the
vehicle is already stopped.

Component Description

Active Safety Control Module

The active safety control module analyzes data from various modules, sensors, and switches to provide
enhanced safety features. In addition to providing alerts, the active safety control module will provide driver
assistance through integrated brake assist, automatic collision preparation, rear emergency braking, and
adaptive cruise control. Inputs and outputs can either be connected directly to the active safety control module

83 of 120
or communicate though serial data. The active safety control module communicates on a dedicated object
detection bus, as well as the chassis expansion bus and low speed GMLAN.

Forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and park assist alerts can be user selected to either a haptic
signal utilizing the driver's haptic signal motor seat or using beeps through the audio system. This setting can be
found in the vehicle personalization menus. See the owner's manual for more detailed information on vehicle
personalization.

If there is a DTC set in any of the modules that the active safety control module uses as inputs, it will send a
"Service Driver Assist" to the instrument cluster to alert the driver of a problem with the system. No other
specific details are given unless the driver attempts to activate a specific system. For example if the driver
attempts to turn on lane departure warning, the instrument cluster will display "Lane Departure Unavailable"
and the indictor will flash and then go out. A scan tool must be used to read the DTCs that are causing the
malfunction to help find the problem. Some of the inputs to the active safety control module can affect forward
facing features, rear facing features, or all features. Systems to check to determine which area to focus are rear
park assist for rear features, and lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control for front features. If none of
the active safety system features are operative, there may be an issue with another module on the vehicle not
providing the proper data to the active safety control module. If all active safety control module features are
inoperative, check the Adaptive Cruise Control Inhibit History and Disengage History scan tool data for the
reason for the malfunction. Definitions of parameters and suggestions on what to look for can be found in K124
Active Safety Control Module: Scan Tool Information . Any item with a "Yes" was the reason why the
adaptive cruise control system was inoperative at that time. In some cases verifying the module is the correct
part number, has the latest version of software is necessary, and is calibrated properly.

Frontview Camera

The frontview camera is located behind the windshield, looking out at the road ahead and detects lane markings
and objects directly ahead, within a distance of approximately 60 meters (197 ft). The frontview camera is used
for lane departure warning and forward collision alert systems. The frontview camera communicates with the
active safety control module via serial data on the object detection bus.

Using information from the frontview camera, the active safety control module will provide forward collision
alert and lane departure warning to the driver when appropriate. The alerts and warnings can be user-selected to
be audible through the audio system or haptic using the active safety seat.

Radar Sensor Module - Long Range

The radar sensor module - long range is located behind the front grille emblem and is used in the 30 - 200 m (98
- 656 ft) range. The radar sensor module - long range communicates with the active safety control module via
serial data on the object detection bus. In addition to the wiring harness ground, the module is grounded through
the mounting bracket.

Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Front

There are two radar sensor module - short range front located behind the front fascia that detect objects up to
approximately 30 meters (98 ft). The radar sensor modules - short range front communicate with the active
safety control module via serial data on the object detection bus.

Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Rear

There are two radar sensor modules - short range rear located behind the rear fascia that detect objects up to
approximately 30 meters (98 ft). The radar sensor modules - short range rear communicate with the active
safety control module via serial data on the object detection bus.

Parking Assist Control Module

The parking assist control module uses ultrasonic object sensors located in the fascias to provide distance
measurements to nearby objects. The park assist module sends rear object data to the active safety control
module via serial data.

Electronic Brake Control Module

The electronic brake control module performs the braking activities of the active safety system. When requested
by the active safety control module, the electronic brake control module will prepare or apply the brakes as
necessary in response to an imminent collision.

Active Safety System Operation

Forward Collision Alert

The forward collision alert system is a convenience feature of the active safety control module, frontview
camera, radar sensor module - long range, radar sensor module - short range left front, and radar sensor module
- short range right front that issues a warning to the driver when a potential collision risk exists. When the

85 of 120
system detects a vehicle in the path ahead, the green vehicle ahead indicator is illuminated on the instrument
cluster. If the vehicle ahead is being followed too closely, the vehicle ahead indicator will be amber. When
approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the collision alert symbol will flash in the head-up display. An audible
alert sound will simultaneously sound or the safety alert seat will provide haptic feedback. The visual alert
cannot be changed, but the driver can select between audible or haptic alerts in the vehicle personalization
menus. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for more detailed information on vehicle personalization.

Forward collision alert does not provide a warning to help avoid a crash, unless it detects a vehicle. Forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead if the frontview camera is blocked by dirt, snow, or ice, or if the
windshield is damaged. It may also not detect a vehicle on winding or hilly roads, or in conditions that can limit
visibility such as fog, rain, or snow, or if the headlamps or windshield are not cleaned or in proper condition.
Keep the windshield, headlamps, and frontview camera area clean and in good repair.

Forward collision alert may provide unnecessary alerts for turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes, objects that
are not vehicles, or shadows. These alerts are normal operation and the vehicle does not need service.

Intelligent Brake Assist

Intelligent brake assist is designed to pre-fill the brake hydraulic system to reduce system response time and
increase pressure when quickly applying the brakes. Using the active safety control module, frontview camera,
radar sensor module - long range, radar sensor module - short range left front, and radar sensor module - short
range right front, the system monitors the approach speed and distance to a vehicle ahead. If the Intelligent
brake assist system determines a collision risk exists, it will begin preparations to the brake hydraulic system.
When active, minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal movement may occur and this should be considered normal.
Intelligent brake assist will resort to normal braking operation after an intelligent brake assist even has occurred
when the brake pedal is released.

Automatic Collision Preparation

Automatic collision preparation system uses the active safety control module, frontview camera, radar sensor
module - long range, radar sensor module - short range left front, and radar sensor module - short range right
front to determine if an imminent collision risk exists. If the brakes have not been applied, the system will
automatically apply the brakes in an effort to mitigate the collision or reduce collision damage. The system has
a detection range of approximately 60 m (197 ft) and will only function when a vehicle is detected, as indicated
by the green vehicle ahead indicator is illuminated on the instrument cluster.

Automatic collision preparation is not a substitute for normal vehicle braking and should not be relied on to
brake the vehicle. Automatic collision preparation may not detect a vehicle ahead if the frontview camera is
blocked by dirt, snow, or ice, or if the windshield is damaged. It may also not detect a vehicle on winding or
hilly roads, or in conditions that can limit visibility such as fog, rain, or snow, or if the headlamps or windshield
are not cleaned or in proper condition. Keep the windshield, headlamps, and frontview camera area clean and in
good repair.

Backing Warning System

The backing warning system utilized the active safety control module, radar sensor module - short range left
rear, radar sensor module - short range right rear, and the parking assist control module to warn of rear objects
when backing up at speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). Utilizing the ultrasonic rear object sensors, the parking
assist control module can only detect object at seeps up to 8 km/h (5 mph). By utilizing the active safety control
module and radar sensor modules - short range along with the parking assist control module and the rear object
sensors, object can be detected at speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).

86 of 120
While reversing at speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph), the backing warning system will alert the driver with an
audible alert or through haptic feedback from the safety alert seat when an object is first detected. If the system
detects a potential collision risk, a series of audible beeps or haptic feedback pulses will be provided, as well as
a quick pulse of the brakes.

Rear Automatic Braking

The rear automatic braking system is designed to help avoid or reduce the harm caused by backing crashes. If
the system detects the vehicle is backing too fast to avoid a collision, it may automatically brake hard to a stop.

Utilizing the active safety control module, radar sensor module - short range left rear, radar sensor module -
short range right rear, and the parking assist control module, rear automatic braking attempts to avoid imminent
collision by automatically braking the vehicle when traveling in reverse. In conjunction with the backing
warning system, if the driver does not respond to the audible and haptic alerts while reversing, the system will
automatically brake the vehicle to a stop.

Rear automatic braking also prevents the vehicle from backing into an object if the vehicle is stopped and
shifted to R. If the system detects an object immediately behind the vehicle while attempting to reverse from a
stop, the brakes will be applied.

Pressing the brake pedal after the vehicle comes to a stop will release the rear automatic braking. It may be
necessary to release the electronic parking brake. When it is safe to do so, pressing the accelerator pedal firmly
at any time will override the rear automatic braking. If rear automatic braking is active and there is no object
behind the vehicle, make sure there is no snow, ice, or debris on the rear object sensors.

Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keep Assist

The lane departure warning system is a convenience feature that utilizes the frontview camera and active safety
control module to determine if the vehicle has unintentionally crossed a lane marking and issue a warning. The
frontview camera is located behind the windshield, looking out at the road ahead and detecting any lane
markings. When the vehicle unintentionally leaves a detected lane, visual and audible or haptic alerts are given
to the driver. The visual alert cannot be changed, but the driver can select between audible or haptic alerts in the
vehicle personalization menus.

Refer to Lane Departure Warning Description and Operation for more information about the Lane
Departure Warning function.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The adaptive cruise control system is an enhanced cruise control system with the ability to sense and react to
forward traffic. Compared to the common cruise control system found on many vehicles, the main functional
enhancement of the adaptive cruise control system is the ability to detect the presence of a vehicle in the path of
the adaptive cruise control vehicle. Adaptive cruise control retains the existing cruise control feature that
controls the vehicle speed to the driver selected speed. However, adaptive cruise control allows a driver to set
and maintain a following distance to the preceding nearest vehicle in the path ahead. The active safety control
module controller calculates a follow speed limit to ensure an acceptable distance is maintained to the preceding
vehicle in front, should one be present. The adaptive cruise control system automatically adjusts the speed when
the vehicle comes up behind a slower travelling vehicle in front. The system applies limited automatic braking
and throttle control without driver input when necessary to maintain the set following distance. The preceding
vehicle's speed and acceleration along with the active cruise control vehicle speed and acceleration and the
distance between the two vehicles are factors used by the active safety control module controller to determine
the follow speed limit. The vehicle speeds up to the original driver selected set speed when the pathway

87 of 120
becomes clear without driver input.

The adaptive cruise control functionality depends on various modules on the vehicle to function and each
module performs a function that is critical to the proper operation of the adaptive cruise control system.
Adaptive cruise control will not operate if any components fail. Communication between modules is via serial
data. The following is a functional description of the active safety control module and the other associated
components:

• Active Safety Control Module


• Body Control Module
• Digital Map Module
• Engine Control Module
• Electronic Brake Control Module
• Transmission Control Module
• Instrument Cluster
• Cruise Control Switch
• Gap Switch

Active Safety Control Module

The active safety control module analyzes data from various modules, sensors, and switches to provide
enhanced safety features. In addition to enhanced safety features, the active safety control module provides the
adaptive cruise control system functionality. The active safety control module analyzes data from the long range
radar sensor module, front short range radar sensor modules, and frontview camera module to identify and
classify objects in the road environment. The system scans the road environment to detect targets within its
specified field of view. The active safety control module then sends throttle and/or brake commands to the
engine control module (ECM) and electronic brake control module (EBCM) via serial data in order to control
the vehicle acceleration/deceleration based on the data from the modules. The ECM and EBCM provide throttle
control and automatic braking needed for proper cruise speed adjustment. The following is a list of the active
safety control module functions pertaining to the adaptive cruise control functionality:

• The active safety control module processes the road environment to get data concerning any vehicle
ahead of the adaptive cruise control vehicle. Detection, parameter estimation, tracking, object
classification and diagnostics are the primary functions. When an object is detected, the controller
calculates the object range, range rate, acceleration and azimuth angle parameters.
• The active safety control module performs adaptive cruise control state processing automatically -
distance control or speed control. The adaptive cruise control operates in 2 possible states - cruise or
follow. The normal operating state is cruise, whereby the vehicle speed is controlled to match the driver
selected set speed. When a preceding forward target is identified, the adaptive cruise control system will
automatically transition into the follow speed state to provide proper lane spacing behind the target
vehicle in front. The preceding vehicle's speed and acceleration, with the adaptive cruise control vehicle
speed, acceleration and distance between the two vehicles will be used to determine the adaptive cruise
control follow speed limit. The adaptive cruise control follow speed limit will ensure that an acceptable
distance is maintained to the preceding vehicle.
• The active safety control module determines the follow speed limit for throttle control by the ECM.
• The active safety control module arbitrates the adaptive cruise control system brake and throttle control
between the EBCM and the ECM.
• The active safety control module requests brake light activation during automatic braking.

88 of 120
• The active safety control module provides operational feedback to the vehicle driver. The active safety
control module sends signals for telltales and messages to be displayed on the instrument cluster or driver
information center.

Body Control Module

The following are the adaptive cruise control System functions provided by the body control module (BCM):

• The BCM provides a translating gateway for the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
• The BCM reads all cruise control switches and the gap switch. The active safety control module monitors
a variety of user operated switches from the BCM switch status information sent via the GMLAN serial
data circuit.
• The BCM illuminates the brake light based on a GMLAN message from the active safety control module
during automatic braking.
• The BCM measures the brake pedal position and sends brake pedal travel status via GMLAN serial data
circuit to the ECM. The ECM disengages the adaptive cruise control system when the brake is applied by
the driver pressing the brake pedal.
• The BCM serves as a gateway to the instrument cluster and driver information center. The BCM will
generate visual warnings based on high speed GMLAN serial data messages from the active safety
control module.

Digital Map Module

The following are the adaptive cruise control System functions provided by the Digital Map Module:

• The Digital Map Module (DMM) is capable of determining vehicle position and localization and then
communicating navigational and predictive data
• The Digital Map Module provides information to the Cruise system that the vehicle is on an acceptable
freeway or highway for engaging the feature
• The Digital Map Module provides road information to the Cruise system about road characteristics, like
exits and merge areas that will alert the system to changing road conditions

Engine Control Module

The following are the adaptive cruise control system functions performed by the engine control module (ECM):

• The ECM provides the electronic throttle control to the adaptive cruise control System. The ECM is also
responsible for determining when a driver is overriding the adaptive cruise control throttle position by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
• The ECM processes the cruise control switch requests received via the GMLAN serial data circuit from
the BCM. Engaging and disengaging the adaptive cruise control system are functions performed by the
ECM.
• The ECM determines the driver selected vehicle speed. Unless the adaptive cruise control module
requests a lower vehicle speed, the ECM will control the vehicle speed to the driver selected set speed.
• The ECM allows automatic braking without disengaging the adaptive cruise control.

Electronic Brake Control Module

The following are the adaptive cruise control System functions performed by the electronic brake control

89 of 120
module (EBCM):

• The EBCM controls the operation of the Antilock Brake System.


• The EBCM provides automatic braking for the adaptive cruise control system. The active safety control
module will request vehicle deceleration via high speed GMLAN serial data circuit.
• The EBCM determines when the driver - applied brake pressure is active. The EBCM will communicate
this status via the GMLAN serial data circuit to the BCM.
• The EBCM releases vehicle automatic braking when there is a throttle override by the driver pressing the
accelerator.
• The EBCM predicts brake temperatures. Due to automatic braking, the brake system may overheat. When
the brakes are overheated, the EBCM requests the adaptive cruise control System to be temporarily shut
down by the ECM until the brakes cool to a normal operating temperature.

Transmission Control Module

The transmission control module (TCM) provides a down shift to protect the brakes. When the TCM detects
some driver braking activity or adaptive cruise control automatic braking activity, the TCM down shifts the
vehicle transmission to increase engine braking. This helps reduce braking activity, extend brake pad life and
reduce brake system overheating.

Instrument Cluster

The driver information center is a part of the instrument cluster and displays the adaptive cruise control system
warning messages. The active safety control module requests messages to be displayed on the driver
information center by sending a GMLAN request to the BCM. The BCM sends a GMLAN serial data request to
the instrument cluster demanding the display of the warning message. When the message is acknowledged by
the driver and the cause of the message resolved, the driver information center turns the message off. The
adaptive cruise control system will not operate if the driver information center fails.

Cruise Control Switch

The cruise control switch, functionally is a common feature that is shared between the adaptive cruise control
system and the regular cruise control system. The adaptive cruise control system will not operate if any cruise
switch fails. The cruise control switch comprises the following cruise control function switches:

• On/Off switch
• Set/decrease switch
• Resume/increase switch

The cruise control function switches are arranged in a resistive ladder design whereby each switch function is
set up with different resistance values. The BCM through the cruise control switch signal circuit detects a
predetermined voltage value when any cruise control switch function is activated. The associated cruise control
function signal detected by the BCM is then sent to the engine control module (ECM) as a GMLAN serial data
circuit message. The ECM on receiving the message provides the cruise control function requested by the BCM.
The ECM is responsible for recognizing and responding to cruise control switch requests sent by the BCM. The
cruise control function switches are used by the ECM to communicate to the active safety control module the
driver selected vehicle speed. The driver selected vehicle speed is communicated through GMLAN serial data
circuit to the active safety control module and the BCM. The adaptive cruise control system engages and adjusts
vehicle speeds based on the activation of the following cruise control function switches:

90 of 120
Cruise Control On/Off Switch

The BCM monitors the switch signal circuit in order to determine when the On/Off switch is disabled or
activated. The BCM detects a predetermined voltage value on the switch signal circuit. The On/Off switch state
is then relayed to the ECM via the GMLAN serial data circuit. The ECM sends the On/Off switch input status
to the active safety control module. When the On/Off switch is turned ON, the adaptive cruise control system
enters either a standby enabled or a standby disabled mode. The standby enabled mode indicates that every
condition required for the adaptive cruise control system to function has been met, but the adaptive cruise
control is not engaged. When the adaptive cruise control is in the standby disabled mode, the conditions
necessary for the adaptive cruise control system to function has not been met. When the On/Off switch is turned
OFF, the adaptive cruise control will enter the disabled mode. The adaptive cruise control will not activate in
the disabled mode.

Cruise Control Set/Decrease Switch

The adaptive cruise control system is engaged when the adaptive cruise control On/Off switch is turned ON and
the set/decrease switch is momentarily pressed and released. When the set/decrease switch is pressed, the
selected vehicle speed is set to the current vehicle speed by the ECM. The vehicle speed must be at or greater
than 40 km/h (25 MPH). The selected vehicle speed is displayed by the driver information center. While in the
engaged state, the selected vehicle speed and the following distance can be adjusted. Pressing and holding the
set/decrease switch, when the adaptive cruise control system is engaged, will decrease the selected vehicle
speed without deactivating the adaptive cruise control. Momentarily pressing and releasing the set/decrease
switch, when the adaptive cruise control is engaged, decreased the selected vehicle speed by 1.6 km/h (1 MPH)
for each time that the set/decrease switch is pressed.

Cruise Control Resume/Increase Switch

The resume/increase switch is used in order to increase the selected vehicle speed when adaptive cruise control
is active. The amount selected vehicle speed can be increased from the resume/increase switch depends on how
long the switch is pressed. The presence of a slower moving vehicle in the path of the adaptive cruise control
vehicle will limit the extent to which the selected vehicle speed can be achieved. If there is no preceding vehicle
in front, limiting the adaptive cruise control vehicle acceleration, then the vehicle speed that is attained is the
new selected vehicle speed. The current selected vehicle speed is displayed by the driver information center.
Acceleration is terminated when the resume/increase switch is released. Momentarily pressing and releasing the
resume/increase switch will allow the selected vehicle to accelerate in at 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) increments for each
time that the resume/increase switch is momentarily pressed.

Gap Switch

The gap switch allows the driver to determine how closely the adaptive cruise control vehicle follows a target
vehicle while adaptive cruise control is engaged. When the adaptive cruise control vehicle speed is being
limited due to a slower travelling vehicle, the adaptive cruise control vehicle speed is automatically controlled
to the follow speed limit. The gap switch has 3 following distance selections that range from 1 - 2 s. The gap
switch following distance between the adaptive cruise control vehicle and the target vehicle is expressed in time
as opposed to actual distance. The distance maintained for a selected gap will vary based on vehicle speed. The
faster the vehicle speed, the further back you will follow. The gap setting can only be adjusted when the
adaptive cruise control system is engaged. The gap switch is hard-wired to the BCM. Based on voltage
variations, the BCM is able to read the gap switch selection and communicates the switch status on the
GMLAN serial data circuit to the active safety control module. The gap switch is a momentary switch.

The initial push of the gap switch recalls the current setting and activates the display. Subsequent pushes of the

91 of 120
gap switch will change the gap setting.

Driver Information Messages

Adaptive Cruise Control Temporarily Unavailable

The active safety control module will send this message if the adaptive cruise control has been disengage or
disabled. There are many reasons that can cause this, some will also set DTCs. Check vehicle for DTCs and also
check the adaptive cruise control enable and disengage scan tool data. Definitions of parameters can be found in
active safety control module scan tool information.

Service Driver Assist System

This message can be set by either the active safety control module if there is a problem with the driver assist
system or by the memory seat module if there is a problem with the haptic seat circuits. Check vehicle for
DTCs.

Service Adaptive Cruise Control and Service Front Camera

The message is set if the active safety control module is not communicating to the instrument cluster. Check
vehicle for DTCs.

Set Speed

The adaptive cruise control vehicle set speed is displayed at all times in the driver information center when
adaptive cruise control is engaged. The active safety control module set speed display request is sent to the
instrument cluster via the GMLAN serial data circuit.

Follow Distance

The driver information center displays the driver selected following distance when adaptive cruise control is
engaged and the gap switch is active. The current follow distance setting is displayed in the driver information
center for a few seconds after the gap switch is pressed to increase or decrease the following distance. The
active safety control module follow distance display request is sent to the instrument cluster via the GMLAN
serial data circuit.

Vehicle Ahead Indicator

The vehicle ahead indicator is displayed in the instrument cluster hen the radar identifies an in-path vehicle. The
vehicle ahead indicator is a warning to the driver that a vehicle is ahead. The indicator also serves as a feedback
to the driver that the radar is functioning properly. The active safety control module commands the display of
the vehicle ahead indicator via a GMLAN serial data message to the instrument cluster. The vehicle ahead
indicator only displays with the adaptive cruise control active and may sometimes display for stationary road
objects.

The rear cross traffic alert system is designed to provide enhanced customer visibility while backing up by
providing warnings to the driver on impending rear cross traffic. The rear cross traffic alert system is designed
to detect and track objects of interest within a specified coverage zone behind the vehicle. The system is
designed to alert the driver, with a visual display and either an audible sound or a haptic warning, to the
presence of objects of interest that may cause a collision with the host vehicle. Although the system is intended
to assist drivers in backing up, it does not replace driver's vision. The driver is responsible to check carefully for
objects outside of the coverage zone (e.g., a fast approaching vehicle) for a safe backing maneuver. In the event
that the system senses a malfunction through its diagnostic functions, the system will be disabled and the driver
will be visually notified.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert System Components

The side blind zone alert system is made up of the following components:

• Left side object sensor module (also used for side blind zone alert)
• Right side object sensor module (also used for side blind zone alert)
• Visual Display Icons located on the rear vision display screen
• Audio System chime or Haptic Seat notification

Side Object Sensor Modules

The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The sensors use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. When an
object is detected in the rear cross traffic zone, the module will send out a signal through serial data
communication to turn on the visual icons and also audio chime or haptic notification. Each sensor is supplied
B+ and ground. The right sensor receives an additional ground. Both sensors communicate independently on the
serial data line. The serial data enters the left sensor in a pass-thru configuration, that connects to the right
sensor. The scan tool is able to individually communicate with each sensor.

Display Icons

The rear cross traffic alert system visual alert display consists of two visual icons, one on each side of the
display screen of the rear vision camera, that are used to alert the driver on rear cross traffic from each side of
the host vehicle respectively.

Audio or Haptic Notification

The alert output type can be driver selected to either audio or haptic. The chime location will be left rear for left
rear cross traffic alert and right rear for right rear cross traffic alert. The haptic seat system response will be to
generate 3 repetitions of haptic vibration in the left rear area of the seat for left cross traffic alert and right rear
area of the seat for right cross traffic alert. If there is a problem with the haptic seats, the audio chime will be
substituted.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert Operation

The rear cross traffic alert system is designed to detect objects of interest as small as a 125cc motorcycle with

94 of 120
rider. The detection zone extends approximately 30 m (99 ft) from the rear corner of the car and covers an area
from behind the vehicle to 125 degrees towards the front at a height of 0.45 m (1.5 ft) to 2 m (6.5 ft) above
ground. The system operates when vehicle speed is 10 kph (6 mph) or less and is designed to detect objects
moving at speeds up to 36 kph (22 mph).

When the vehicle is backing up, the side object sensors receive energy that is reflected from external objects and
determine if the objects are objects of interest or not. The system may at times detect pedestrians, shopping
carts, or similar moving objects. This is normal and should not be considered as a false alert or problem with the
system. The rear cross traffic alert system will estimate vehicle travel trajectory and use the information in
conjunction with object travel trajectory information to determine if there is a potential collision between the
vehicle and the object of interest. The rear cross traffic alert function will only alert on objects of interest that
pose a potential collision with the host vehicle. The system is not designed to provide an alert to objects that
have no potential collision with vehicle. In addition, the system will not alert to stationary objects such as signs,
parked cars, etc.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert Driver Information Center Messages

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT OFF

This message indicates that the system has been disabled through the driver information center. Refer to the
vehicle owner's manual for instructions on how to set personalization options on the driver information center.

SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM

This message indicates that the system requires service. Since the sensors are also used for side blind zone alert,
this feature will also be inoperative.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE

This message indicates that the system has been temporarily disabled because the sensor is blocked or can
otherwise not accurately detect vehicles or objects. Such instances may be mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-
up on the rear fascia, heavy rainfall, excessive road spray, fascia damage or stickers.

The rear cross traffic alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus and calculate if
the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe and Japan and require the
sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable" message will be displayed to the driver when
this occurs.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

During the course of vehicle diagnosis and repair, part replacement, or collision repair, components related to
advanced driver assistance systems may need to be accessed or removed. In some cases, a learn may need to be
performed after service to ensure proper operation of the system. Below is a list of available systems,
components involved in the system, and when these components require a learn procedure be performed. Refer
to the appropriate Service Information document for specific learn instructions, as well as any additional
programming operations needed if the component was replaced.

conditions while helping prompt the driver to pay
close attention to the road so they are ready to take
control. The Active Safety Control Module 1 is the
primary control module for Super Cruise operation,
while Active Safety Control Module 2 is a redundant
control module for backup operation.
The Super Cruise driver assistance feature uses
Global Positioning System (GPS) sensing, GPS-
enhanced data, a high-precision map and network of
cameras to maintain automatic control of vehicle
steering on compatible highways.
Super Cruise is available only on compatible
highways that are separated from opposing traffic.
The GPS uses real-time corrections and map data to
determine the vehicle's location while the Frontview
Camera - Windshield detects the marked lanes on the
road to help the vehicle automatically steer and
maintain lane position. Map data is provided by the
Digital Map Module.
The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control -
Advanced, which is designed to detect vehicles
traveling in the same direction in its path and
accelerate or brake the vehicle to maintain a driver-
selected following gap time from a vehicle ahead,
even in stop-and-go traffic conditions. The Long
Range Radar Sensor Module is used to detect other
vehicles.
When engaged, Super Cruise utilizes a Driver
Attention System. It provides feedback on system
status while tracking the driver's head position and
using alerts that prompt the driver to pay close
attention to the road and steer manually when
needed. The Driver Attention System uses the Driver
Monitoring System Control Module and Driver
Monitoring System Camera to monitor the driver.
Some vehicles with Super Cruise use two Short
Range Radar Sensor Modules in place of the Left
Side Object Sensor Module and Right Side Object
Sensor Module. These additional Short Range Radar
Sensor Modules integrate the traditional Lane
Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert into the
Super Cruise system and allow Super Cruise to
perform lane-change maneuvers.

driver is following. This feature helps drivers follow
a vehicle ahead at the following gap they select (Far,
Medium, or Near) while they steer. This helps reduce
the driver's need to frequently brake and accelerate.
If the system does not detect a vehicle ahead,
Adaptive Cruise Control - Advanced works just like
regular cruise control and maintains a selected cruise
speed. When the system detects a vehicle ahead in
the driving lane, the VEHICLE AHEAD icon will
appear in green. When the vehicle detected ahead is
within the selected following gap setting, Adaptive
Cruise Control - Advanced can automatically slow
the vehicle down and adjust vehicle speed to follow
the vehicle ahead at the selected following gap.
Just like regular Cruise Control, Adaptive Cruise
Control - Advanced uses the cruise control ON/OFF,
CANCEL, SET and RESUME buttons on the
steering wheel.

Adaptive Cruise Control - Camera uses the


Frontview Camera - Windshield that looks directly
ahead to monitor vehicles that a driver is following.
This feature helps drivers follow a vehicle ahead at
the following gap they select (Far, Medium, or Near)
while they steer. This helps reduce the driver's need
to frequently brake and accelerate.
If the system does not detect a vehicle ahead,
Adaptive Cruise Control - Camera works just like
Adaptive Cruise KSG regular cruise control and maintains a selected cruise
Control - without ACC speed. When the system detects a vehicle ahead in
Camera UGN the driving lane, the VEHICLE AHEAD icon will
appear in green. When the vehicle detected ahead is
within the selected following gap setting, Adaptive

FORWARD COLLISION ALERT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The forward collision alert system is a convenience feature of the frontview camera module that issues a
warning to the driver when a potential collision risk exists. The frontview camera module is located behind the
windshield, looking out at the road ahead and detecting vehicles directly ahead. When the system detects a
vehicle in the path ahead, the green vehicle ahead indicator is illuminated on the instrument cluster. When
approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the collision alert symbol will flash in the head-up display (if
equipped) or a series of red collision alert indicators will flash. An audible alert sound will simultaneously
sound or the safety alert seat will provide haptic feedback. The visual alert cannot be changed, but the driver
can select between audible or haptic alerts in the vehicle personalization menus. The forward collision alert
system can also be turned on or off through the vehicle personalization menus. See the vehicle owner's manual
for more detailed information on vehicle personalization.

108 of 120
Forward collision alert does not provide a warning to help avoid a crash, unless it detects a vehicle. Forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead if the frontview camera module is blocked by dirt, snow, or ice, or
if the windshield is damaged. It may also not detect a vehicle on winding or hilly roads, or in conditions that can
limit visibility such as fog, rain, or snow, or if the headlamps or windshield are not cleaned or in proper
condition. Keep the windshield, headlamps, and frontview camera module clean and in good repair.

Forward collision alert may provide unnecessary alerts for turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes, objects that
are not vehicles, or shadows. These alerts are normal operation and the vehicle does not need service.

Forward Collision System Reduced Message

This message displays when Forward Automatic Braking or Front Automatic Braking has been set to the
"Alert" setting. This setting disables most automatic braking functions. This is normal operation when the
Forward Collision System setting is set to OFF or ALERT . This message is not present when the Forward
Collision System is set to Alert and Brake .

Front Automatic Braking (UHY) (if equipped)

When the system detects a vehicle ahead in your path that is traveling in the same direction that you may be
about to crash into, it can provide a boost to braking or automatically brake the vehicle. This can help avoid or
lessen the severity of crashes when driving in a forward gear. Depending on the situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or hard. This front automatic braking can only occur if a vehicle is detected.

The system works when driving in a forward gear between 8 km/h (5 mph) and 60 km/h (37 mph), or on
vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control above 2 mph (4 km/h). It can detect vehicles up to approximately 60 m
(197 ft).

Pedestrian Collision Mitigation Braking (UKJ) (if equipped) is a feature subset of Front Impact
Mitigation that aims to reduce the likelihood of collisions or reduce the impact speed with pedestrians in
the forward direction by the following:

• Determining the forward path of the vehicle


• Monitoring this path with respect to pedestrians in or near the forward path
• When appropriate, providing pedestrian detection pedestrian and alerts to the driver, and if certain
conditions are met, providing autonomous braking to help avoid or reducing the impact speed of a
collision with the pedestrian

This system is not intended to replace the driver responsibility paying careful attention to the forward scene for
pedestrian, vehicle, and other potential hazards. Its function is limited to supplemental use only to assist rather
than replace the driver in responding to pedestrians in the forward scene.

The Pedestrian Collision Mitigation Braking system can detect and alert to up to 10 pedestrians in a forward
gear at speeds between 5 mph (8 km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h). During daytime driving, the system detects
pedestrians up to a distance of approximately 40 m (131 ft). Pedestrians must be at least 31.5 inches (80 cm) tall
to be detected.

No added components are required for Front Automatic Braking, or Pedestrian Collision Mitigation Braking.
Refer to Owner's Manual - Driver Assistance Systems for more details.

The forward collision alert system is made up of the following components:

109 of 120
• Frontview camera module
• Forward collision alert switch
• Instrument cluster
• Collision alert indicators (without UV6)
• Head-up display (with UV6)
• Infotainment system
• Safety alert seat, if equipped

Frontview Camera Module

The frontview camera module detects vehicles in front of the vehicle. The frontview camera module
communicates with the instrument cluster via serial data to illuminate the appropriate amber or green vehicle
ahead indicator, collision alert symbol will flash in the head-up display, or collision alert indicators. The
frontview camera module also communicates via serial data with the infotainment system and memory seat
module to request audible or haptic alerts.

Forward Collision Alert Switch

The forward collision alert switch provides an input to the frontview camera module to select the alert timing
sensitivity when approaching another vehicle too rapidly. The forward collision alert switch is part of the
steering wheel controls switch - left and provides inputs to the body control module (BCM), which then
communicates with the frontview camera module via serial data.

The BCM applies a reference voltage and monitors a low signal voltage from the normally open switch. When
the switch is pressed, the signal circuit is pulled low through a specific series of resistors, indicating that the
system has been requested to change the alert timing sensitivity. The first button press will show the current
alert timing setting on the driver information center. With every subsequent button press, the alert timing
sensitivity is changed.

Instrument Cluster

The instrument cluster communicates via serial data with the frontview camera module and will illuminate the
amber or green vehicle ahead indicator as requested by the frontview camera module. The instrument cluster
also controls the head-up display or the collision alert indicators.

Collision Alert Indicators (without UV6) (if equipped)

The collision alert indicators are a series of red LEDs that will flash when approaching another vehicle too
rapidly. The collision alert indicators are located in the upper instrument panel area and reflect off the
windshield when illuminated.

The collision alert indicators receive power and ground and are discretely controlled by the instrument cluster
through a pair of low control circuits. When requested by the frontview camera module, the instrument panel
will pulse the low control circuits, flashing the LEDs as a visual alert that another vehicle is being approached
too rapidly.

Head-up Display (with UV6) (if equipped)

The instrument cluster controls the head-up display via serial data. The instrument cluster will command the
head-up display to flash the collision alert indicator as a visual alert when approaching another vehicle too

110 of 120
rapidly as requested by the frontview camera module.

Infotainment System

The infotainment system controls the audible alerts for the forward collision alert system. If the host vehicle is
approaching another vehicle too rapidly, the frontview camera module will command the infotainment system
issue an audible alert to the driver.

Safety Alert Seat (if equipped)

The memory seat module controls the haptic alert provided by the seats. If the vehicle is approaching another
vehicle too quickly, the frontview camera module will command the memory seat module to pulse both sides of
the seat.

Forward Collision Alert System Driver Information Center Messages

Forward Collision System Reduced or Automatic Collision Prep Reduced

In some instances, a "Forward Collision System Reduced" message or "Automatic Collision Prep Reduced"
message may be displayed on the driver information center. This is a normal result of forward automatic
braking being set to "Alert" instead of "Alert and Brake" in vehicle personalization. No correction is necessary;
this is normal operation. Discuss with the customer the operating characteristics of the vehicle personalization
settings and set forward automatic braking to "Alert and Brake" if desired.

LANE CHANGE ALERT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

NOTE: When the vehicle is new, or the system has been programmed, there may be
intermittent false alerts for up to 644 km (400 miles). The system is in an auto

Lane Change Alert (LCA) can be disabled in vehicle personalized settings, this will also disable the Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA) system. When disabled, the bulb check of the mirror indicators will also be disabled. A
driver information center message will be displayed at start up when the LCA system is disabled. This feature
must be enabled prior to trying to diagnose the system.

This is a feature of the Side Blind Zone system, for more information, refer to Side Blind Zone Alert
Description and Operation. Lane Change Alert system is a lane-changing aid that assists drivers with avoiding
lane change crashes that occur with moving vehicles in the side blind zone (similar to blind spot) areas or with
vehicles rapidly approaching these areas from behind. The Lane Change Alert warning display will light up in
the corresponding outside side mirror and will flash if the turn signal is on.

The Lane Change Alert sensor covers a zone of approximately one lane over from both sides of the vehicle, or
3.5 m (11 ft). The height of the zone is approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2 m (6 ft) off the ground. The
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) warning area starts at approximately the middle of the vehicle and goes back 5
m (16 ft). Drivers are also warned of vehicles rapidly approaching from up to 25 m (82 ft) behind the vehicle.

Feature Limitations

WARNING: LCA does not alert the driver to vehicles outside of the system detection zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. It may not provide alerts when changing
lanes under all driving conditions. Failure to use proper care when changing
lanes may result in injury, death, or vehicle damage. Before making a lane
change, always check mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use the turn

111 of 120
signals.

• Lane Change Alert displays may not come on when passing a vehicle quickly, for a stopped vehicle, or
when towing a trailer.
• Lane Change Alert may alert to objects attached to the vehicle, such as a trailer, bicycle, or object
extending out to either side of the vehicle. Attached objects may also interfere with the detection of
vehicles.
• Lane Change Alert may not always alert the driver to vehicles in the next lane over, especially in wet
conditions or when driving on sharp curves.
• The system may light up due to guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other non-moving objects.
• Lane Change Alert may not operate when the B218L Side Object Sensor Module - Left or B218R Side
Object Sensor Module - Right sensors in the corners of the rear bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow,
ice, or slush, or in heavy rainstorms.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The lane departure warning system is a convenience feature that utilizes the frontview camera module to
determine if the vehicle has unintentionally crossed a lane marking and issue a warning. The frontview camera
module is located behind the windshield, looking out at the road ahead and detecting any lane markings. When
the vehicle unintentionally leaves a detected lane, visual and audible or haptic (if equipped) alerts are given to
the driver. The visual alert cannot be changed, but the driver can select between audible or haptic alerts (if
equipped) in the vehicle personalization menus. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for vehicle personalization
options.

The lane departure warning system utilizes the following components:

• Frontview camera module


• Lane departure warning switch
• Instrument cluster
• Infotainment system
• Safety alert seat, if equipped

Frontview Camera Module

The frontview camera module detects visual queues such as lane markings. When it is determined that the
vehicle has unintentionally moved outside of the lane, visual and audible or haptic (if equipped) warning is
given to the driver. The frontview camera module receives an input from the lane departure warning switch and
controls the lane departure warning switch indicator output. The frontview camera module also communicates
via serial data with the instrument cluster, infotainment system, and memory seat module to request visual,
audible, and/or haptic alerts.

Lane Departure Warning Switch

The lane departure warning switch provides an input to the frontview camera module to turn the lane departure
warning system on and off. The frontview camera module applies voltage and monitors the parking assist
switch signal circuit. The lane departure warning switch is a normally open switch. With the switch open,
voltage seen at the frontview camera module is high. When the lane departure warning switch is pressed, the
switch is closed and the signal circuit is pulled to ground. With the switch closed, voltage seen at the frontview
camera module is low. The frontview camera module will respond to this by activating or deactivating the lane

112 of 120
departure warning system.

The lane departure warning switch also utilizes the lane departure warning indicator, which is part of the lane
departure warning switch and is controlled by the frontview camera module to indicate the operational status of
the lane departure warning system. When the lane departure warning is enabled, the frontview camera module
will illuminate the indicator on the switch. The indicator receives voltage through a high control circuit from the
body control module (BCM) and is controlled through a low control circuit by the frontview camera module.

Instrument Cluster

The instrument cluster contains green and amber lane departure warning indicators. These indicators inform the
driver of the current status of the lane departure warning system and are controlled via serial data by the
frontview camera module. When the vehicle speed is above 56 km/h (35 MPH) and the system has detected the
required lane markings and is ready to assist, the green indicator will be illuminated. If the vehicle has
unintentionally left the lane, the amber indicator will flash.

Infotainment System

The infotainment system controls the audible alert for the lane departure warning. If the vehicle has
unintentionally left the lane, the frontview camera module will request via serial data an audible alert to the
driver through the infotainment system

Safety Alert Seat

The memory seat module controls the haptic alert provided by the seats. If the vehicle has unintentionally left
the lane, the memory seat module will command pulses to the left or right side of the seat, depending on the
lane departure direction.

Lane Departure Warning Operation

System Operational Modes

• Off State: The system has been turned off by the driver using the lane departure warning switch. The lane
departure warning indicator located on the lane departure warning switch will not be illuminated.
• Not Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and the lane departure warning indicator located on the lane
departure warning switch is illuminated, but the system is not ready to assist because one of the following
conditions is true:
Vehicle speed is less than 56 km/h (35 MPH). The system is designed to function at speeds greater
than 56 km/h (35 MPH).
The system cannot detect lane markings. This may be because there are no lane markings or the
lane markings cannot be determined due to snow, rain, or other driving conditions.
The windshield area in front of the camera or the camera lens is blocked by fog, dirt, damage to the
windshield, or other elements that may prevent the camera from detecting lane markings.
• Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and ready to warn of the unintentional lane crossing. The system
is ready to assist when the green lane departure warning indicator is illuminated on the instrument cluster.

Lane Crossing Alerts

• A lane crossing alert consists of the following:


The amber lane departure warning indicator located on instrument cluster will flash.

113 of 120
Three chimes are activated through the infotainment system or three pulses to the left or right side
of the seat, if equipped with safety alert seat
• When any of the following conditions occurs, the system will not give alerts:
The appropriate turn signal is activated. An activated turn signal is interpreted as an intentional lane
crossing.
The operator makes an intentional steering maneuver.
The operator makes an intentional accelerating maneuver.
The operator makes an intentional braking maneuver.

LANE KEEP ASSIST DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

NOTE: • The Lane Keep Assist system DOES NOT continuously steer the vehicle
• The Lane Keep Assist system replaces Lane Departure Warning System
• Lane Departure Warning will have more alerts than Lane Keep Assist
(visual, audible, and haptic warning

The system assists driver to keep vehicle in-lane by providing a steering push back to the vehicle when an
unintended lane departure is detected. See the user's manual for more detailed information on vehicle
personalization.

The lane keep assist system is made up of the following components:

• Front view camera module


• Lane Keep Assist switch / control indicator
• Instrument cluster / Vehicle Direction Display
• Radio
• Safety Alert Seat (if equipped)
• Yaw rate sensor
• Electric power steering

Front View Camera Module

The camera detects visual queues such as lane markings. When it is determined that the vehicle has
unintentionally moved outside of the lane, visual, and audible or haptic warning is given to the driver. The front
view camera module receives an input from the lane keep assist switch and controls the lane keep assist switch
indicator output. The front view camera module also communicates via serial data with the instrument cluster,
radio, and memory seat module to request visual, and audible or haptic alerts.

Lane Keep Assist Switch

The lane keep assist switch provides an input to the front view camera module to turn the lane keep assist
system ON and OFF. The front view camera module provides a signal voltage to the normally open momentary
switch. When the switch is pressed, the signal circuit is pulled to ground, indicating to the front view camera
module that the system has been requested to turn ON or OFF. The lane keep assist switch also contains the lane
keep assist switch indicator, which is controlled by the front view camera module to indicate the ON and OFF
status of the lane keep assist system. When the system has been enabled by the lane keep assist switch, the front
view camera module applies ground to the switch indicator and illuminates the LED. The location of the lane

114 of 120
keep assist switch can vary with different vehicles. For the exact location please refer to the user's manual.

Instrument Cluster

The vehicle direction display contains green and amber lane keep assist indicators. These indicate to the driver
the current status of the lane keep assist system and are controlled via serial data by the front view camera
module. When the vehicle speed is above 56 km/h (35 MPH) and the system has detected the required lane
markings and is ready to assist, the green indicator will be illuminated on the vehicle direction display. If the
vehicle has unintentionally left the lane, the amber indicator will flash.

Radio

The radio controls the audible alert for the lane keep assist. If the vehicle has unintentionally left the lane, the
radio will command three beeps as an audible alert to the driver.

Safety Alert Seat (if equipped)

The memory seat module controls the haptic alert provided by the seats. If the vehicle has unintentionally left
the lane, and the Electric Power Steering determines the corrective action requires an above threshold amount of
effort, the memory seat module will command three pulses to the left or right side of the seat, depending on the
lane departure direction.

Yaw Rate Sensor

The steering intervention is based on the forward looking sensor outputs, such as lateral offset of the vehicle,
relative yaw angle and time to line crossing. Over that, other vehicle dynamics signals are needed, e.g. velocity,
steering angle, yaw rate for the purpose of a driver suppression.

Electric Power Steering

The electric power steering uses a torque sensor to detect driver inputs and relays that information to the
frontview camera module. The electric power steering is used to provide steering push back.

Lane Keep Assist Operation

There is two stages of warning/intervention for the driver: The first stage is the steering push back, if the lane
keep assist system detects that the vehicle will cross the lane marking despite it is intervening, a second stage
warning shall be issued. The second stage warning is a chime or a haptic seat vibration, if equipped with haptic
seats. If a haptic seat vibration is used as stage 2 warning, the vibration shall take place on the side of the seat,
where the lane departure happened.

System operation can be described by the following modes:

• Off State: The system has been turned off by the driver using the lane keep assist switch. The lane keep
assist indicator will not be illuminated.
• Not Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and the lane keep assist indicator is illuminated, but not
ready to assist when any of the following conditions is true:
Vehicle speed is less than 37 MPH (60 km/h). The system is designed to function at speeds greater
than 37 MPH (60 km/h).
The system cannot detect lane markings. This may be because there are no lane markings, as on a
country road or that the lane markings cannot be determined due to snow, rain, or other driving
conditions.

or if equipped , three pulses to the left or right side of the seat.

Lane Keep Assist System Driver Information Center Messages

The front view camera module can command the driver information center to display the various messages to
alert the driver of a system concern or status information. For detailed information about the possible messages
please refer to the user's manual.

SAFETY ALERT SEAT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The safety alert seat provides a vibration in the driver's seat bottom cushion to alert the driver of a number of
concerns. Two seat haptic movement motors are utilized to create the vibration and are located on the left and
right sides of the seat cushion. Utilizing two motors allows the vibration to be localized to the left or right side
of the seat, depending on the side of the vehicle generating the alert, or to vibrate both simultaneously.

The active safety seat utilizes the following components:

• Seat Memory Control Module


• Seat Haptic Movement Motor - Driver Left
• Seat Haptic Movement Motor - Driver Left

Seat Memory Control Module

The seat memory control module receives serial data messages from other modules and provides voltage to
control the seat haptic movement motors. The seat memory control module will pulse the left, right, or both
motors with the number of pulses requested over serial data. The seat memory control module monitors the
control circuits for open, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions and will set DTCs if a circuit fault is
detected.

Seat Haptic Movement Motor

116 of 120
The seat haptic movement motor is DC motor located in the driver's seat bottom cushion. Two seat haptic
movement motors are used in the seat bottom cushion, positioned on the left and right side. An offset weight is
attached to the motor. When activated, the spinning offset weight creates a vibration felt by the driver through
the seat cushion.

Each seat haptic movement motor receives a constant chassis ground. The motor is controlled by the seat
memory control module providing voltage through a dedicated control circuit. When an alert is required, the
seat memory control module will apply voltage, activating the seat haptic movement motor.

schematics for specific vehicle wiring diagrams.

Description and Operation

The side blind zone alert system shall detect and report "objects of interest" on either side of the vehicle, within
a specified "blind spot" zone. The system is designed to alert the driver, with a visual display placed on the side
view mirror, to the presence of objects of interest that may not be visible in the inside rearview mirror and
outside rear view mirrors. Although this system is intended to help drivers avoid lane change crashes, it does
not replace driver vision and therefore should be considered a lane change aid. Even with the side blind zone
alert system, the driver must check carefully for objects outside of the reporting zone (e.g., a fast approaching
vehicle) before changing lanes. In the event that the system senses a malfunction through its diagnostic routines,
the system will be disabled and the driver will be visually notified.

When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forward, an amber warning symbol will
light up in the appropriate outside mirror. This indicates that it may be unsafe to change lanes. If the driver then
activates the turn signal, the amber warning symbol starts flashing as an extra warning not to change lanes.

Side blind zone alert is active when the vehicle is out of park or the parking brake is off on manual transmission
vehicles and at speeds up to approximately 140 km/h (87 MPH). If a vehicle is detected in the blind zone, the
warning symbols will turn illuminate on the appropriate side. When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror
displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating. The warning symbols will vary brightness
based on the ambient light conditions.

Side Blind Zone Alert System Components

The side blind zone alert system is made up of the following components:

• Left side object sensor module (also used for rear cross traffic alert)
• Right side object sensor module (also used for rear cross traffic alert)
• Driver outside rearview mirror
• Passenger outside rearview mirror

Side Object Sensor Modules

The side object sensor modules are located on each side of the vehicle behind the rear fascia and are not directly
visible from outside the vehicle. The sensors use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. When an
object is detected in the side blind zone, the side object sensor module supplies voltage to illuminate the visual
indicator on the appropriate side rear view mirror. Each sensor is supplied B+ and ground. The right sensor
receives an additional ground. Both sensors communicate independently on the serial data line. The serial data
enters the left sensor in a pass-thru configuration, that connects to the right sensor. The scan tool is able to
individually communicate with each sensor.

Outside Rearview Mirrors

The outside rearview mirrors contain an icon that is backlit with high intensity, amber-colored LED's located on

118 of 120
the mirror surface. The display brightness adapts to day/night conditions. The side blind zone alert indicator
icon in the left or right outside rearview mirror is illuminated if the left or right side object sensor module
detects a vehicle in the side blind zone to inform the driver that there is a vehicle driving in the blind spot zone.

Side Blind Zone Alert Operation

When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is
operating. The system is designed to detect objects of interest as small as a 125cc motorcycle with rider. The
detection zone starts at the outside rearview mirror and extends out to 3.5 m (11 ft) at the back corner of the
vehicle and 3 m (10 ft) behind the vehicle at a height of 0.5 m (1.5 ft) to 2.0 m (6 ft) above the ground. The
system may light up an indicator due to guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other non-moving objects. This is
normal system operation; the vehicle does not need service.

When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forward, independent if passing a vehicle
or being passed, an amber warning symbol will light up in the appropriate outside mirror. This indicates that it
may be unsafe to change lanes. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the amber warning symbol starts
flashing as an extra warning not to change lanes.

Foul weather may affect the operation of the side blind zone system. Occasional missed alerts can occur under
normal circumstances and will increase in wet conditions. The number of missed alerts will increase with
increased rainfall or road spray. Heavy rainfall, as well as mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-up on the rear
fascia, can completely disable the system.

If the vehicle is towing a trailer or has an object such as a bicycle rack attached to the rear of the vehicle, the
side blind zone system may not function properly and the indicators may illuminate intermittently or remain
illuminated all the time.

Side Blind Zone Alert Driver Information Center Messages

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT OFF

This message indicates that the system has been disabled through the driver information center. Refer to the
vehicle owner's manual for instructions on how to set personalization options on the driver information center.

SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM

This message indicates that the system requires service. When the message is displayed, the indicators will
remain illuminated at all times, notifying the driver that the side blind zone system should not be relied upon
when changing lanes. Since the sensors are also used for rear cross traffic alert, this feature will also be
inoperative.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE

This message indicates that the system has been temporarily disabled because the sensor is blocked or can
otherwise not accurately detect vehicles or objects. Such instances may be mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-
up on the rear fascia, heavy rainfall, excessive road spray, fascia damage or stickers.

The rear cross traffic alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus and calculate if
the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe and Japan and require the
sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable" message will be displayed to the driver when
this occurs.

Lane Change Alert Operation (if equipped)

119 of 120
Lane Change Alert (LCA) can be disabled in vehicle personalized settings, this will also disable the Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA) system. When disabled, the bulb check of the mirror indicators will also be disabled. A

forward, an amber warning symbol will light up in the appropriate outside mirror. This indicates that it may be
unsafe to change lanes. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the amber warning symbol starts flashing as
an extra warning not to change lanes.

The system is designed to detect objects of interest as small as a 125cc motorcycle with rider. The detection
zone starts at the outside rearview mirror and extends out to 3.5 m (11 ft) at the back corner of the vehicle and
70 m (230 ft) behind the vehicle at a height between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2.0 m (6 ft) above the ground. The
system may light up an indicator due to guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other non-moving objects. This is
normal system operation; the vehicle does not need service.

If the vehicle is towing a trailer or has an object such as a bicycle rack attached to the rear of the vehicle, the
lane change alert system may not function properly and the indicators may illuminate intermittently or remain
illuminated all the time. The driver information center may display "SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM
UNAVAILABLE".

Foul weather may affect the operation of the lane change alert system. Occasional missed alerts can occur under
normal circumstances and will increase in wet conditions. The number of missed alerts will increase with
increased rainfall or road spray. Heavy rainfall, as well as mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush build-up on the rear
fascia, can completely disable the system. The warning symbols will vary brightness based on the ambient light
conditions.

SYMPTOMS - FIXED AND MOVEABLE WINDOWS

Important Preliminary Checks Before Starting:

1. Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle before using the symptom tables in order to verify that all of
the following are true:
• There are no DTCs set.
• The control modules can communicate via the serial data link.
2. Review the power window system operation or rear window defogger system operation in order to familiarize
yourself with the system functions. Refer to the following:
• Rear Window Defogger Description and Operation
• Power Windows Description and Operation

Visual/Physical Inspection

• Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the rear window defogger.
• Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could
cause the symptom.
• Inspect the power window mechanical components for misalignment or binding which may prevent the
function of the power window.

Intermittent

NOTE: • Inspect for proper installation of electrical components if an intermittent


condition exists. Inspect for aftermarket theft deterrent devices, lights, and
cellular phones. Ensure that no aftermarket equipment is connected to the
class 2 circuit. If you can not locate an intermittent condition, a cellular phone
signal may cause the condition. Faulty electrical connections or wiring may be

21 of 106
the cause of intermittent conditions. Refer to Testing for Intermittent
Conditions and Poor Connections .
• The problem may or may not turn ON the SERVICE VEHICLE SOON indicator
or store a DTC. Do not use the symptom tables to diagnose intermittent
conditions. The malfunction must be present in order to locate the problem.

Poor electrical connections or wiring cause most intermittent conditions. Perform a careful visual/physical check for
the following conditions:

• Poor mating of the connector halves or a terminal not fully seated in the connector body
• An improperly formed or damaged terminal
• Reform or replace connector terminals in the problem circuit in order to ensure proper contact tension.
• Poor terminal to wire connection requires removing the terminal from the connector body in order to perform
the check.

Use a scan tool in order to help detect intermittent conditions. The scan tool has several features that can be used to
locate an intermittent condition. The snapshot feature can capture and store data parameters within the scan tool
when the malfunction occurs. This information can then be reviewed in order to see what caused the malfunction.

Symptom List

Refer to a symptom diagnostic procedure from the following list in order to diagnose the symptom:

• Rear Window Defogger Malfunction


• Power Windows Malfunction

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER MALFUNCTION

The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure
optimal heating, ventilation and air conditioning of the
K33 HVAC Control Module passenger compartment. The control module does this by
reading values from a variety of sensors and interprets the data
and adjusts the actuators accordingly.
The position of the defogger switch is read by the control
module A26 and, via CAN bus, forwarded to the control
A26 HVAC Controls
module K33, which translates the bus message into a control
signal for E18.

functions. Window Motor Programming - Express Function

WINDOW MOTOR PROGRAMMING - EXPRESS FUNCTION

A window motor that has not been normalized may no longer perform the express up functions or may not index up
when the door is closed, this may occur during the following conditions:

• When a window motor has been disconnected or replaced


• When a door harness has been disconnected

When the battery has been disconnected or replaced, all window motors may no longer perform the express up
functions

NOTE: When DTC B3205 4B, B3210 4B, B3215 4B or B3220 4B are set, the following
warnings will be displayed on the driver information center:

• Open, then Close Driver Window


• Open, then Close Passenger Window

These warnings will clear once the windows have been "Normalized" and the
respective DTC will clear.

Single Window Motor Normalization Procedure

NOTE: The doors must be completely closed prior to normalizing the windows, a door
that is open or ajar may cause the power window to function abnormally or to
become inoperative while performing the normalizing procedure. If this occurs,
verify that the door is completely closed then repeat the normalizing
procedure.

1. Ignition ON.
2. Starting with the window completely UP, press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully
open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely open.
3. Pull the power window switch up until the window is fully closed and continue holding the switch up for
approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely closed.

68 of 106
The window should now be normalized and the window should perform the express up and express down functions
and should index normally when the door is opened and closed.

All Window Motors Normalization Procedure

NOTE: The doors must be completely closed prior to normalizing the windows, a door
that is open or ajar may cause the power window to function abnormally or to
become inoperative while performing the normalizing procedure. If this occurs,
verify that the door is completely closed then repeat the normalizing
procedure.

1. Ignition ON.
2. Starting with the left and right rear window completely UP, press and hold the appropriate power window
switch until the rear windows are fully open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5
seconds after the rear windows are completely open.
3. Pull the power window switch up until the rear windows are fully closed and continue holding the switch up
for approximately 5 seconds after the rear windows are completely closed.
4. With the driver window completely UP, press and hold the appropriate power window switch until the driver
window is fully open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5 seconds after the driver
window is completely open.
5. Pull the power window switch up until the driver window is fully closed and continue holding the switch up
for approximately 5 seconds after the driver window is completely closed.
6. With the front passenger window completely UP, press and hold the appropriate power window switch until
the front passenger window is fully open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5 seconds
after the front passenger window is completely open.
7. Pull the power window switch up until the front passenger window is fully closed and continue holding the
switch up for approximately 5 seconds after the front passenger window is completely closed.

All the window motors should now be normalized and the windows should perform the express up and express down
functions and should index normally when the door is opened and closed.

Window Motor Relearn Procedure

A relearn procedure may need to be performed after the following repair procedures have been completed:

• When the window glass had to be realigned


• When the window glass has been replaced
• When the door has been replaced and the original window motor has been reused
• When the window regulator has been replaced and the original window motor has been reused

The technician may experience the following symptoms when performing the express up function:

• The glass may stop before reaching the top of the window frame
• The window may auto-reverse when reaching the top of the window frame

This is caused by the window motor still retaining the original travel settings prior to being reinstalled with the new
components

NOTE: Prior to performing the relearn procedure the vehicle must have all 4 wheels
properly inflated and mounted, the vehicle must be sitting on a level surface and all
doors must be completely closed.

69 of 106
To relearn the window motor, follow these steps:

1. Ignition ON.
2. With a scan tool, select Module Diagnosis, K9 Body Control Module, Configuration/Reset Functions and then
select the appropriate Clear Window Learn Values for the window motor requiring the relearn procedure.
3. After the learn procedure, exit the scan tool learn procedure completely, the power window cannot be
normalized and will not function until you exit the program.
4. Starting with the window completely UP, press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully
open and continue holding the switch down for approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely open.
5. Pull the power window switch up until the window is fully closed and continue holding the switch up for
approximately 5 seconds after the window is completely closed.

The window motor has now been calibrated to the new travel settings and will function normally.

Driver and Passenger Express Up and Express Down Power Window Motors

The driver and passenger doors contains a window motor is smart motor that will detect excessive resistance while
performing the express up function and automatically reverse direction to prevent injury to any occupants that may
become trapped between the closing window and the door frame. The automatic reverse safety feature can be
overridden by pulling and holding the window switch.

The logic circuit within the window motor monitors the up, down and express signal circuits which are normally
equal to B+ voltage. When a switch is used on the window switch, the contacts close causing a voltage drop within
the appropriate signal circuit. The window motor will detect the voltage drop and will command the window to move
in the direction requested.

The driver window switch communicates to the BCM by a serial data circuit. When the driver wishes to control the
passenger window, the driver will use the appropriate switch on the driver window switch. When this switch is used,
a serial data message is sent to the BCM requesting the passenger window motor command, the BCM will then send
a serial data message to the passenger window motor which will then move in the direction requested.

Left Rear, Right Rear Express Down Window Motors

For the right rear and left rear doors, when their window switch is pressed in the down position, battery positive
voltage is applied to their respective window motor control circuit and ground to the other window motor control
circuit causing that window to open. When the individual window switch is pulled in the up position, voltage and
ground is applied to the window motor in the opposite direction causing that window to close. The return path to
ground is supplied through the inactive control circuit being normally grounded through the window switch.

Each rear window switch communicates to the BCM by a serial data circuit. When the driver wishes to control the
left rear or right rear window, the driver will use the appropriate switch on the driver window switch. When this
switch is used, a serial data message is sent to the BCM requesting a window motor command, the BCM will then
send a serial data message to the appropriate rear door window switch which will then command that window to
move in the direction requested.

Lockout Switch Feature

The driver power window switch contains a window lockout switch, when the driver presses the window lockout
switch, a serial data message is sent to the BCM which will send a disable command to the rear window switches,
deactivating them. The rear windows will still function normally from the switches on the driver window switch.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


Rear Window Defogger System Components

The rear window defogger system consists of the following components:

• HVAC Control Module


• HVAC Controls
• Rear Defogger Relay
• Rear Defogger Grid

E18 E18 Rear Defogger Grid
E17P E17P Outside Rearview Mirror Glass - Passenger
A26 A26 HVAC Controls
K33 K33 HVAC Control Module

Rear Window Defogger Operation

The rear defog control system utilizes a single zone backlight design, driven with a single relay configuration.
Additionally, up to two outside rear view mirrors can be heated if required. A switch for the customer to control the
system is provided within the HVAC controls. Also included in the HVAC controls is an indicator to inform the
customer with the current state of the system. The system is only operational when engine is running or during
remote start.

Pressing the heated rear window switch causes the HVAC controls to send a serial data message to the HVAC control
module requesting rear window defog operation. The HVAC control module upon receipt of the serial data message
will provide voltage to the coil side of the rear defogger relay, this will energize the relay causing the relay switch
contacts to close allowing B+ voltage to flow through the rear defogger grid control circuit to the rear defogger grid.

When the rear heated rear window switch is pressed and the engine is running, the rear window defogger grid will
activate and will turn off automatically depending upon the vehicle speed (refer to owner's manual for rear window
defogger operation cycles)

103 of 106
Heated Mirrors

The heated mirrors are also controlled through the rear defogger relay. Whenever the rear window defogger is turned
on battery voltage is supplied to the mirror heater elements through the left and right mirror heater element control
circuits.

STATIONARY WINDOW DESCRIPTION

Most stationary windows, specifically windshields, are retained to the body with adhesive which adheres the window
to the body, increasing structural integrity. The reinstallation of the windows with adhesive requires complete
replacement of the adhesive bead, and is known as the full cut method. All stationary windows must use a adhesive
systems which meet GM Specification GMW-15672.

Circuit Operation

Battery positive voltage is applied at all times to the horn relay coil and the horn relay switch. Pressing either of
the horn switches applies ground to the horn relay control circuit. The BCM may also apply ground to the horn
relay control circuit as described above. When the horn relay control circuit is grounded, the horn relay is
energized and battery positive voltage is applied to the horns through the horn control circuit. The horns sound
as long as ground is applied to the horn relay control circuit.

3. Poor Quality Image

Circuit/System Description

The Rearview Camera receives ignition voltage and a constant ground to power the camera. Video signal + and video
signal - circuits carry the video image from the Rearview Camera to the Radio. The Radio sends the video
information to the Info Display Module through an additional pair of video signal + and a video signal - circuits.
Additionally, the video signal circuits are shielded to prevent any interference which may lead to a loss of video
signal resolution and a degraded video image. The shield is provided a ground path by the rear vision camera. When
the transmission is placed into REVERSE, the Radio sends a request to the Info Display Module via serial data to
display the video image.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Engine running
• Transmission in R

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The video signal from the rearview camera has not been received by the Radio for 2.5 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The Radio stores the DTC in memory.


• A service message may be displayed on the driver information center of info display module.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

9 of 88
• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
• A history DTC will clear once 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

The rearview camera system is especially susceptible to interference from aftermarket electrical devices such as
charge cords, USB adapters, etc. To avoid mis-diagnosis, ensure any aftermarket electrical devices are
removed/disconnected before proceeding with this diagnostic.

A poor video image can be caused by ice, snow, and mud buildup on the lens of the rearview camera. Also, extreme
lighting conditions can affect performance, such as operating in the dark or with bright sunlight shining on the
camera. Extreme high or low temperatures can also affect the image quality. An open in the shield of the video signal
circuit can also cause a distorted screen.

Terminal fretting or incorrectly seated connectors can cause a poor image displayed condition. Check the circuit
terminals for fretting or incorrectly seated connector. If the condition is intermittent or cannot be duplicated,
disconnect the connectors and add Nyogel lubricant 760G. This procedure will correct the high resistance condition
due to terminal fretting corrosion.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The conditions for setting the DTC no longer exist.

Diagnostic Aids

The following conditions could cause component performance issues: B87 Rearview Camera

• Ambient Light Intensity - High/Low


• Camera Blocked - Debris/Ice/Mud/Snow
• Temperature - High/Low

An open in the shield of the video signal circuit can cause a distorted screen.

An open in the backup lamp control circuit, defective backup lamps, or incorrect/aftermarket backup lamps can
cause erratic circuit behavior such as unwanted voltage on circuit when vehicle is no longer in REVERSE. The rear
vision image display remaining active after the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE can also be an indication of
backup lamp control circuit issues.

Starting the vehicle and immediately placing the shifter in Reverse can also cause the Rear Vision Camera guidelines
to not be present during that Reverse cycle due to the system not being given enough time to fully initialize. If safely
coming to a stop, placing the transmission in Park for a moment, and then shifting to Reverse again restores the Rear
Vision Camera guidelines, this scenario is normal and no repair attempts should be made.

1. Rearview Camera = Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

When the transmission is placed into REVERSE, a signal is sent to the Radio indicating that camera operation is
requested. The rearview camera sends video information to the radio through a coax cable. The coax cable also
provides power from the Radio to the rearview camera.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Engine running
• Transmission in R

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The video signal from the rearview camera has not been received by the Radio or is frozen for 2.5 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The Radio stores the DTC in memory.


• A service message may be displayed on the driver information center of info display module.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.


• A history DTC will clear once 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

A poor video image can be caused by ice, snow, and mud buildup on the lens of the rearview camera. Also, extreme
lighting conditions can affect performance, such as operating in the dark or with bright sunlight shining on the
camera. Extreme high or low temperatures can also affect the image quality. An open in the shield of the video signal
circuit can also cause a distorted screen.

An open in the backup lamp control circuit, defective backup lamps, or incorrect/aftermarket backup lamps can

60 of 88

1. Rear vision camera inoperative
2. Rear vision camera image always displayed
3. Poor Quality Image

Circuit/System Description

The Rearview Camera receives ignition voltage and a constant ground to power the camera. Video signal + and video
signal - circuits carry the video image from the Rearview Camera to the Radio. The Radio sends the video
information to the Info Display Module through an additional pair of video signal + and a video signal - circuits.
Additionally, the video signal circuits are shielded to prevent any interference which may lead to a loss of video
signal resolution and a degraded video image. The shield is provided a ground path by the rear vision camera. When
the transmission is placed into REVERSE, the Radio sends a request to the Info Display Module via serial data to
display the video image.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Engine running
• Transmission in R

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The video signal from the rearview camera has not been received by the Radio for 2.5 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The Radio stores the DTC in memory.


• A service message may be displayed on the driver information center of info display module.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.


• A history DTC will clear once 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

The rearview camera system is especially susceptible to interference from aftermarket electrical devices such as
charge cords, USB adapters, etc. To avoid mis-diagnosis, ensure any aftermarket electrical devices are
removed/disconnected before proceeding with this diagnostic.

A poor video image can be caused by ice, snow, and mud buildup on the lens of the rearview camera. Also, extreme
lighting conditions can affect performance, such as operating in the dark or with bright sunlight shining on the
camera. Extreme high or low temperatures can also affect the image quality. An open in the shield of the video signal
circuit can also cause a distorted screen.

Terminal fretting or incorrectly seated connectors can cause a poor image displayed condition. Check the circuit
terminals for fretting or incorrectly seated connector. If the condition is intermittent or cannot be duplicated,
disconnect the connectors and add Nyogel lubricant 760G. This procedure will correct the high resistance condition

64 of 88
due to terminal fretting corrosion.

Circuit Description
Camera Video Signal Coaxial Camera Signal

Diagnostic Aids

The following conditions could cause component performance issues: Rearview Camera

• Ambient Light Intensity - High/Low


• Camera Blocked - Debris/Ice/Mud/Snow
• Temperature - High/Low

An open in the shield of the video signal circuit can cause a distorted screen.

If the Video Processing Control Module cannot calibrate all cameras, the rear vision image may be displayed without
projected path lines.

An open in the backup lamp control circuit, defective backup lamps, or incorrect/aftermarket backup lamps can
cause erratic circuit behavior such as unwanted voltage on circuit when vehicle is no longer in REVERSE. The rear
vision image display remaining active after the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE can also be an indication of

68 of 88
backup lamp control circuit issues.

Starting the vehicle and immediately placing the shifter in Reverse can also cause the Rear Vision Camera guidelines
to not be present during that Reverse cycle due to the system not being given enough time to fully initialize. If safely
coming to a stop, placing the transmission in Park for a moment, and then shifting to Reverse again restores the Rear
Vision Camera guidelines, this scenario is normal and no repair attempts should be made.

VIDEO PROCESSING CONTROL MODULE CALIBRATION

NOTE: • The surround vision camera system image will be slightly distorted at all
times, the camera (s) lens is a fish-eye lens meant to capture as much range as
possible.
• A Video Processing Control Module that is not calibrated adequately will
display an hour-glass icon on the surround vision camera system image
screen, a DTC should be set, and one or more of the scan tool Camera
Alignment Learn parameters will display Not Calibrated. Once calibration is
attained, the hour-glass will automatically disappear and the scan tool Camera
Alignment Learn parameters should display Stage 1, 2, or 3 showing no further
calibration is necessary.
• The Video Processing Control Module can disable rear camera display
guidelines if it is not calibrated adequately. Once calibration is attained, the

83 of 88
guidelines should return.

The calibration procedure is needed to have the Video Processing Control Module learn new cameras and their
positions. The calibration is performed automatically by the Video Processing Control Module.

If any one of the cameras is replaced on the Surround Vision Camera System, the camera image needs to be
calibrated to the system. For this reason, the Video Processing Control Module performs a calibration during its
power up and initialization during each ignition cycle in order to maximize the surround vision image quality.

A new Video Processing Control Module will have built-in default values for camera learn. However, the Video
Processing Control Module will automatically calibrate in order adapt to the vehicle.

To allow the Video Processing Control Module to complete calibration, drive the vehicle. Driving the vehicle in the
conditions listed below will reduce calibration time.

Diagnostic Aids

Ideal conditions to reduce the time needed for the Video Processing Control Module to complete the calibration
include:

• All moving points of vehicle access (doors, trunk/liftgate, fuel door, hood, etc.) of the vehicle Must be closed
and the corresponding vehicle access systems functional (no DTCs, etc.).
• No vehicle body or structural damage that may affect proper camera mounting or line of sight
• All surround vision cameras properly mounted, fully connected, and appropriately connected to the proper
terminal of the Video Processing Control Module.
• Vehicle driven reasonably flat and straight for at least 0.5 km (0.3 miles)
• Vehicle speed between 10-30 kph (6-19 mph)
• Steering wheel angle less than 0.5°
• It is a good practice to wipe camera lens' clean prior to alignment
• Vehicle should not be within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of a curb or roadside
• Dry weather, cloudy but bright sky

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


REARVIEW CAMERA FULL DISPLAY MIRROR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

If equipped, full display mirror provides a wider field of view than normally seen from the inside rearview mirror to
assist when driving and changing lanes. When the tab under the inside rearview mirror is pulled rearward, a view of
the area behind the vehicle displays on the mirror. The inside rearview camera full display mirror is connected to the
outside rearview camera via a shielded coaxial cable.

When the tab under the inside rearview mirror is pulled rearward, a view of the area behind the vehicle displays on
the mirror.

Adjust the rearview mirror for a clear view of the area behind the vehicle before turning on full display mirror. Use
the three buttons on the bottom of the mirror to adjust the brightness, zoom, and tilt of the display. Make sure the
light sensor is not covered when adjusting the brightness.

The inside rearview camera full display mirror may not work properly or display a clear image if:

• It is dark.

84 of 88
• The sun or the beam of headlamps are shining directly into the camera lens.
• Ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds up on the camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse it with water, and wipe it
with a soft cloth.

When the mirror detects that the camera is not sending a valid video signal, it "blue screens" with a "no video" decal
for 3 seconds, then reverts back to the mirror.

REAR VISION CAMERA DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (UVB)


Rear Vision Camera System Operation

The rear vision camera system consists of a video camera located at the rear of the vehicle and the Radio.

When the transmission is placed into REVERSE, a signal is sent to the Radio indicating that camera operation is
requested. The rearview camera sends video information to the radio through a coax cable. The coax cable also
provides power from the Radio to the rearview camera.

The following conditions may cause a degraded rear vision camera image:

• Ice, snow, or mud has built up on the rear vision camera


• Dark conditions
• Extreme light conditions, such as glare from the sun or the headlights of another vehicle
• Damage to the rear of the vehicle
• Extreme high temperatures or extreme temperature changes

If a malfunction is detected in the system, Service Rear Vision Camera may be displayed on the Info Display Module
as an indicator to the customer that a problem exists that requires service.

SURROUND VISION CAMERA DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

WARNING: The Surround Vision cameras have blind spots and will not display all objects near
the corners of the vehicle. Folding outside mirrors that are out of position may not
display surround view correctly. Always check around the vehicle when parking or
backing.

1. View Displayed by the Surround Vision Camera


2. Area Not Shown

85 of 88
1. View Displayed by the Surround Vision Camera
2. Area Not Shown

The surround vision camera system consists of the following components:

• B87 Rearview Camera


• B174G Frontview Camera - Grille
• K157 Video Processing Control Module
• A11 Radio OR K74 Human Machine Interface Module
• B225L Sideview Camera - Left
• B225R Sideview Camera - Right
• X20 Memory Card Receptacle (with XVR)

When the vehicle is traveling at speeds slower than 6 mph (10 kph) the video processing control module will power
up the cameras and send a video signal to the radio or human machine interface module.

The following conditions may cause a degraded surround vision camera image:

• Ice, snow, or mud has built up on the rear vision camera


• Dark conditions
• Extreme light conditions, such as glare from the sun or the headlights of another vehicle
• Damage to the rear of the vehicle
• Extreme high temperatures or extreme temperature changes

Surround Vision displays an overhead view of the area surrounding the vehicle, along with the front or rear camera
views in the center stack. The front camera is in the grille or near the front emblem, the side cameras are on the
bottom of the outside rearview mirrors, and the rear vision camera is above the license plate.

NOTE: Images from the Sideview Cameras are only displayed when both front doors are
properly closed.

Features of the Surround Vision System

• Rear camera (B87 Rearview Camera) view alongside overhead view is displayed in reverse
• Front camera (B174G Frontview Camera - Grille) view alongside overhead view is displayed after shifting out
of reverse to Neutral or Drive
• Will display front view when front park assist object is within trigger range calibration value (30 cm (12 in) in

86 of 88
a forward gear
• Image is removed from display when vehicle speed exceeds speed calibration (10 kph/6 mph) or button press /
screen touch

System Operation

The video processing control module is connected to each camera via a shielded coaxial cable. The coaxial cable
provides power for the camera and also carries the video image from the cameras to the video processing control
module for processing. The video processing control module will then send the processed image output to
infotainment system via another coaxial cable.

The video processing control module receives CAN information from Rear Park Assist object detection module and
Steering Wheel angle from body control module during Reverse. A warning triangle may display during the 360
surround view screen if Rear Parking Assist has detected an object during a reverse. This triangle changes from
amber to red and increases in size the closer the object. Also a dynamic guideline is displayed in Reverse to show the
projected path of the vehicle.

If equipped, the video processing control module system may have a memory card receptacle (with XVR) located in
the trunk. The memory card receptacle interfaces with the video processing control module via a USB cable. The
memory card receptacle also receives fused battery voltage and ground from the video processing control module.
The video processing control module uses the memory card as a mass storage device, similar to a USB storage
device.

Without BTM and/or ATH/ATS

When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition is switched ON, the transponder
embedded in the key is energized by the exciter coil surrounding the ignition lock cylinder. The transponder
transmits a signal to the immobilizer control module. The immobilizer control module translates this signal to a
serial data message which is sent to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares this value to a
value stored in memory. If the value is correct, the BCM will send the prerelease password via the serial data
circuit to the engine control module (ECM). If the learned key code does not match or a transponder value is not
received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.

With BTM and/or ATH/ATS

When a keyless entry transmitter is inserted into the transmitter pocket and the ignition mode switch is pressed,
the transponder embedded in the transmitter is energized by the immobilizer antenna exciter coil. The
transponder transmits a signal to the immobilizer control module. The immobilizer control module translates
this signal to a serial data message which is sent to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares

transponder value is not received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition is in the Accessory or Run position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM is unable to measure the ignition key transponder value.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• Vehicle starting will be disabled.


• The security indicator will illuminate. A service message will be displayed in the driver information
center.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• A current DTC will be cleared when the BCM detects a valid transponder value from the ignition key.
• A history DTC will be cleared after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Diagnostic Aids

• Because DTC B3055 may be caused by a malfunctioning vehicle key or keyless entry transmitter, it is
necessary to have all available vehicle keys or transmitters at the time of diagnosis. A possible scenario
would be a customer leaving the vehicle with a spare key or transmitter during the service visit, but the
key or transmitter which they use everyday, not the spare key or transmitter, is the cause of the DTC. Not
having all available keys or transmitter in this instance would result in the customer concern not being
duplicate or a misdiagnosis.
• Ensure that the immobilizer control module is properly installed and fully seated. An audible and/or
tactile click will indicate that the immobilizer control module is fully seated. To ensure proper
transponder communication, the key must be in a specific location in relation to the immobilizer control
module. If the immobilizer control module is not fully seated, transponder communication may not occur

Transponder Authentication

For symptom byte information, refer to Symptom Byte List .

Circuit/System Description

Without BTM and/or ATH/ATS

When an ignition key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and the ignition is switched ON, the transponder
embedded in the key is energized by the exciter coil surrounding the ignition lock cylinder. The transponder
transmits a signal to the immobilizer control module. The immobilizer control module translates this signal to a
serial data message which is sent to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares this value to a
value stored in memory. If the value is correct, the BCM will send the prerelease password via the serial data
circuit to the engine control module (ECM). If the learned key code does not match or a transponder value is not
received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.

With BTM and/or ATH/ATS

When a keyless entry transmitter is inserted into the transmitter pocket and the ignition mode switch is pressed,
the transponder embedded in the transmitter is energized by the immobilizer antenna exciter coil. The
transponder transmits a signal to the immobilizer control module. The immobilizer control module translates
this signal to a serial data message which is sent to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then compares
this value to a value stored in memory. If the value is correct, the BCM will send the prerelease password via
the serial data circuit to the engine control module (ECM). If the learned transponder code does not match or a
transponder value is not received, the BCM will send the start disable password to the ECM.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Ignition is in the Accessory or Run position.


• A valid transponder value has been read.

DTC P162B

Remote Vehicle Speed Limiting Signal Message Counter Incorrect

Circuit/System Description

When a remote slow-down request is sent from OnStar, the vehicle communication interface control module
sends a serial data message to the engine control module (ECM) indicating that reduced vehicle speed has been
requested. Once the request is active, the ECM begins reducing engine torque to match the requested vehicle
speed and the REDUCED ENGINE POWER message is displayed.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• The engine run time is greater than 5 s


• A remote slow-down request is sent from OnStar

Conditions for Setting the DTC

• The VIN embedded in the slow-down request does not match the VIN stored in the ECM.
• The rolling code counter embedded in the slow-down request does not increment for ten consecutive
messages.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• ECM ignores all reduced vehicle speed request messages from the vehicle communication interface
module.
• The ECM stores DTC P162B in history.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.


• A history DTC will clear after 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

DTC P1631

Immobilizer Fuel Enable Signal Not Correct

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) sends the pre - release information to the engine control module (ECM) via
the serial data circuit. The ECM then sends a challenge to the BCM. Both the ECM and BCM perform a
calculation on this challenge. If the calculated response from the BCM equals the calculation performed by the
ECM, the ECM will allow vehicle starting. The BCM follows this action by sending the remaining immobilizer
data to the ECM. If the immobilizer data sent by the BCM matches that stored by the ECM, the ECM will allow
the engine to remain running.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition is in the ACCESSORY or RUN position.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM receives incorrect immobilizer data from the BCM.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The security indicator in the instrument cluster will illuminate.


• Vehicle starting will be disabled.

Unable to Complete Programming

When attempting to program immobilizer components, various conditions may prevent the programming
operation from completing. These conditions may be caused by normal system operation, a system malfunction,
or an external influence. Common symptoms of a incomplete programming is receiving an error message during
the attempt or having the SPS application become unresponsive.

• DTCs are set in the body control module (BCM)

The immobilizer system is a function of the BCM software. If immobilizer DTCs are set in the BCM,
such as DTC B2955, a fault has been identified in the immobilizer system. If this is not corrected before
attempting to program components, the programming may not complete. Correct all immobilizer DTCs
before attempting to program any immobilizer components.

• The key has been programmed to another vehicle or is not the correct type for the vehicle

A key can only be programmed to a single vehicle. Once a key is programming to a vehicle, it is paired
for the life of the key. The key can be learned to the same vehicle again and again, but it is not able to be
programmed to a different vehicle.

Many vehicle are available with both a base keyless entry system and an optional passive entry system.
These keys typically look identical but cannot be substituted for one another. To verify the key is correct,
compare the part number that is etched on the key to the part number identified in the parts catalog. The
key should be correct for the system installed in the vehicle.

• The theft deterrent module is not properly secured or the key is not properly positioned in the pocket/slot.

A theft deterrent module that is not fully seated or is otherwise not properly secured may prevent a
coupling between the transponder located in the key and the theft deterrent module. Being out of place by
as little as 1 mm may prevent programming from completing. Make sure the theft deterrent module is
properly installed and fully seated in it's clip.

44 of 58
The key shank must be fully extended so that the entire key shank fits into the programming slot.

To determine if the theft deterrent module is properly secured, remove the battery from the key and place
the key into the pocket/slot. Attempt to change the vehicle mode by pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch.
The vehicle should change modes. If the NO REMOTE DETECTED message is displayed on the DIC,
the theft deterrent module may not be properly secured.

• External interference is interrupting the programming operation

External RF interference and EMI may interrupt the low frequency coupling between the key and theft
deterrent module. This interference may come from many different locations. Devices plugged into the
vehicle power outlets such as cell phone chargers, laptop computers, GPS devices, etc. may cause
interference. Vehicle location may also cause interference. Locations near airports and military
installations may causer interference. Remove all customer installed devices and, if necessary, move the
vehicle if interference is suspected.

KEY WITH INTEGRATED TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING (WITHOUT BTM)

Keys can be programmed in various ways using the procedures outlined below. Using the Replacing Keys
procedures will first erase all the known keys from the vehicle. Any existing keys and any new keys will then
be programmed. This procedure should be used any time a key is required to be unlearned or erased from a
vehicle. If a new key is being learned to a vehicle to replace a damaged, inoperative, or stolen key, the
Replacing Keys procedure must be used. This ensures that the old key cannot be used to access or start the
vehicle after programming.

The Adding Keys procedure does not erase any keys prior to programming. The procedure will simply program
the key into the next available slot. The Adding Keys procedure should only be used when adding an additional
key to the vehicle. The Adding Keys procedure should never be used to program a key to a vehicle that is
having a key replaced, regardless of the cause for the replacement.

11. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs.
12. Verify each key is operating properly. Operate each of the keyless entry functions using the buttons on the
key and then start the vehicle. When verifying operation, make sure that no other keys are near the
vehicle.

Unable to Complete Programming

When attempting to program immobilizer components, various conditions may prevent the programming
operation from completing. These conditions may be caused by normal system operation, a system malfunction,
or an external influence. Common symptoms of a incomplete programming is receiving an error message during
the attempt or having the SPS application become unresponsive.

• DTCs are set in the body control module (BCM)

The immobilizer system is a function of the BCM software. If immobilizer DTCs are set in the BCM,
such as DTC B2955, a fault has been identified in the immobilizer system. If this is not corrected before
attempting to program components, the programming may not complete. Correct all immobilizer DTCs
before attempting to program any immobilizer components.

• The key has been programmed to another vehicle or is not the correct type for the vehicle

A key can only be programmed to a single vehicle. Once a key is programming to a vehicle, it is paired
for the life of the key. The key can be learned to the same vehicle again and again, but it is not able to be
programmed to a different vehicle.

Many vehicle are available with both a base keyless entry system and an optional passive entry system.
These keys typically look identical but cannot be substituted for one another. To verify the key is correct,
compare the part number that is etched on the key to the part number identified in the parts catalog. The
key should be correct for the system installed in the vehicle.

• The theft deterrent module is not properly secured or the key is not properly positioned in the pocket/slot.

51 of 58
A theft deterrent module that is not fully seated or is otherwise not properly secured may prevent a
coupling between the transponder located in the key and the theft deterrent module. Being out of place by
as little as 1 mm may prevent programming from completing. Make sure the theft deterrent module is
properly installed and fully seated in it's clip.

The key should be positioned in the proper orientation so that it lays flat in the pocket. If a large key ring
or other item attached to the key prevents the key from laying flat, remove the key ring.

To determine if the theft deterrent module is properly secured, remove the battery from the key and place
the key into the pocket/slot. Attempt to change the vehicle mode by pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch.
The vehicle should change modes. If the NO REMOTE DETECTED message is displayed on the DIC,
the theft deterrent module may not be properly secured.

• External interference is interrupting the programming operation

External RF interference and EMI may interrupt the low frequency coupling between the key and theft
deterrent module. This interference may come from many different locations. Devices plugged into the
vehicle power outlets such as cell phone chargers, laptop computers, GPS devices, etc. may cause
interference. Vehicle location may also cause interference. Locations near airports and military
installations may causer interference. Remove all customer installed devices and, if necessary, move the
vehicle if interference is suspected.

PROGRAMMING ADDITIONAL KEYS (WITHOUT BTM)

The Adding Keys procedure does not erase any keys prior to programming. The procedure will simply program
the key into the next available slot. The Adding Keys procedure should only be used when adding an additional
key to the vehicle. The Adding Keys procedure should never be used to program a key to a vehicle that is
having a key replaced, regardless of the cause for the replacement.

Using the Replacing Keys procedures will first erase all the known keys from the vehicle. Any existing keys
and any new keys will then be programmed. This procedure should be used any time a key is required to be
unlearned or erased from a vehicle. If a new key is being learned to a vehicle to replace a damaged, inoperative,
or stolen key, the Replacing Keys procedure must be used. This ensures that the old key cannot be used to
access or start the vehicle after programming. Refer to Replacing Keys (without BTM).

Adding Keys (Without SPS)

NOTE: • To initiate, this procedure requires that 2 learned key be available.


• A total of eight keys maybe be learned to a single vehicle.
• This procedure adds keys only. The procedure does not erase previously
learned keys.
• The keys to be learned must duplicate the mechanical cut of the current
key.

1. With a previously learned key, turn the ignition ON.


2. Turn the ignition OFF and remove the key.
3. With a second previously learned key, turn the ignition ON.
4. Turn the ignition OFF and remove the key.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


IMMOBILIZER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

55 of 58
The immobilizer system functions are provided by the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver, the Steering
Column Lock Module, the Body Control Module (BCM), and the Engine Control Module (ECM), as well as
any control modules which store and report the environment identifier. The Body Control Module uses low
frequency antennas in three different locations on the vehicle to determine the location of the transmitter.
Multiple transmitting antennas are used to ensure complete coverage of the vehicle interior and rear
compartment. These antennas transmit to the keyless entry transmitter.

When the vehicle Stop/Start switch is pressed, the low frequency antennas emit a challenge to the keyless entry
transmitter. The transmitter receives this challenge and emits it's response as an RF message. The transmitter
transmits a signal that contains its unique value, which is received by the BCM through the Remote Control
Door Lock Receiver. The BCM then compares this value to a value stored in memory. The BCM also monitors
various control modules to determine if the stored environment identifiers match.

If the correct transponder is detected, the electric steering column is unlocked, and there is no start disable from
OnStar the BCM will send the prerelease allowed message via serial data to the ECM. The vehicle will be
allowed up to 3 seconds run time. If the theft check is incorrect, the environment identifier check fails, the
incorrect transponder is detected, the electric steering column is locked, or there is a start disable from OnStar,
the BCM will send a negative response and the ECM will not start the vehicle or will immediately shut off the
vehicle if prerelease allowed the vehicle to start.

If RF communication is interrupted, a "No Remote Detected" message will be displayed on the DIC. In these
cases, the transmitter can be placed in the transmitter pocket. The immobilizer coil antenna is located in the
immediate vicinity of the transmitter pocket. Placing the transmitter in the pocket/slot will create a low powered
coupling between the transmitter and immobilizer coil antenna, allowing communications to occur and enabling
vehicle starting.

The components of the immobilizer system are as follows:

• BCM
• ECM
• Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

56 of 58
• Steering column lock control module
• Immobilizer coil antenna
• Low frequency antenna
• Ignition key/Keyless entry transmitter
• Security indicator
• Various control modules which store and report the environment identifier

Body Control Module (BCM)

The immobilizer system is an integral part of the BCM and is controlled internally within the BCM. The BCM
can learn up to 8 keys (transponder values). The BCM uses low frequency antennas in three different locations
on the vehicle to determine the location of the transmitter. Multiple antennas are used to ensure complete
coverage of the vehicle interior and rear compartment. The BCM monitors the ignition mode switch. When the
ignition mode is changed, the BCM will command, or "ping", the low frequency antenna.

The BCM uses the following inputs:

• Environment identifier exchange with various modules


• Encrypted code from the vehicle key, received by the immobilizer coil antenna if the keyless entry
transmitter signal isn't detected as indicated by the "No Remote Detected" message
• Encrypted code from the vehicle key, received by the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

The BCM uses the following outputs:

• Prerelease Allowed signal communication with ECM


• Challenge/Response with ECM

When a transponder value is received by the BCM, the BCM will compare this value to the learned key code
stored in memory. The BCM then performs one of the following functions:

• If the encrypted code value matches the values stored in the BCM memory, the BCM will send the
Prerelease Allowed signal to the ECM via serial data.
• If the encrypted code unique value does not match the value stored in the BCM, the BCM will send the
start disable message to the ECM via serial data.
• If the BCM is unable to receive the vehicle key encrypted code value, the BCM will not send any
messages to the ECM.

Engine Control Module (ECM)

The ECM receives the BCM Prerelease Allowed signal and simultaneously the ECM sends a challenge to the
BCM via the serial data circuit upon seeing the vehicle transition from OFF to any other power mode. Both the
ECM and BCM perform a calculation on this challenge. If the calculated response from the BCM equals the
calculation performed by the ECM, the ECM will allow vehicle starting.

Low Frequency Antenna

When commanded, or "pinged", the low frequency antenna broadcast a challenge to the keyless entry
transmitter. Because of the low power of the antenna, this challenge is only broadcast in an approximate three
meter range of the antenna. Multiple antenna are used to ensure complete coverage of the vehicle interior and
rear compartment.

57 of 58
Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

When the keyless entry transmitter is challenged by a low frequency antenna, it responds by emitting a response
as an RF message. The transmitter transmits a signal that contains its unique value, which is received by the
Remote Control Door Lock Receiver. The Remote Control Door Lock Receiver relays this information to the
BCM via a discreet serial data circuit.

Steering Column Lock Control Module

On vehicles with electronic steering column lock that use a steering column lock control module the
immobilizer system will prevent vehicle starting if there is a fault or no communication with the steering
column lock control module.

Keyless Entry Transmitter

Each keyless entry transmitter contains a transponder with a unique encrypted value. The transponder's
encrypted value is fixed and unable to be changed. The immobilizer system uses the keyless entry transmitter
transponder value to determine if a valid keyless entry transmitter is being used to start the vehicle.

Security Indicator

The BCM will command the Instrument Cluster to illuminate the security indicator when the vehicle is ON to
indicate a fault has occurred within the immobilizer system.

REMOTE VEHICLE SPEED LIMITING DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Certain vehicles equipped with OnStar® now have an additional feature that allows for remote limiting of the
vehicle's speed. This OnStar® feature is called Stolen Vehicle Slow-Down and is now part of the OnStar®
Stolen Vehicle Assistance service. This feature, when used in conjunction with local law enforcement and strict
guidelines at the OnStar® Call Center, will slow the vehicle by interacting with the engine control system.

When the engine control system receives a valid request from the OnStar® telematics communications
interface module, it will enter into a reduced engine power/vehicle speed limiting mode, which will decelerate
the vehicle. Once the request is active the engine control module begins reducing engine torque to match
requested vehicle speed and a REDUCED ENGINE POWER indication is displayed. No DTCs will be set
during this process.

DTC Descriptors

DTC B154A 39

Driver Mirror Internal Malfunction

DTC B154B 39

Passenger Mirror Internal Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The outside rearview mirror switch is a multiplex switch which signals the mirror control module which outside
rearview mirror to move (driver or passenger) and which direction to move it. The mirror control module and
the passenger window switch are on a serial data circuit with the memory seat module as the master. The mirror
select and directional control switches are inputs to the mirror control module. When the memory seat module
receives the switch inputs from the mirror control module, mirror output commands are sent to the appropriate
module/switch through the serial data circuit. The mirror control module and passenger window switch control
the left and right outside rear view mirrors through bi-directional motor control circuits. The motor control
circuits are floating while in an inactive state and the switches will apply power and ground to the control
circuits as necessary to move the mirror in the commanded direction.

Mirror position is determined by both horizontal and vertical position sensors in each of the power mirrors. The
mirror control module and passenger window switch supply a 5 V reference, low reference, and horizontal and
vertical position signal circuits to these sensors. The signal circuits are referenced from 5 V by the switches and
the signal circuit voltage levels represent the mirror positions. The mirror positions are sent to the memory seat
module through the serial data circuit where they are stored for memory mirror operation. When the memory
seat module receives a memory recall command, the memory seat module will send the go to position
commands to the mirror control module and passenger window switch. The switches will then drive the
appropriate mirror motors to the commanded position sensor settings.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Battery voltage must be between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B154A 39

An internal malfunction has been detected by the mirror control module while commanding the driver outside

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

B154A 39

The driver outside rearview mirror must be replaced before the DTC can be cleared.

1. Inside and Outside Rearview Mirror Automatic Dimming Malfunction
2. Outside Rearview Mirror Automatic Dimming Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

The inside rearview mirror uses 2 photocell sensors. One sensor is the rear light sensor, located on the face side
of the mirror, facing the rear of the vehicle. The rear light sensor is used to determine light conditions present at
the mirror face. The other sensor is the front light sensor, located on the backside of the mirror, facing the front
of the vehicle. The front light sensor is used to determine the exterior light conditions at the front of the vehicle.
With a low exterior light condition detected by the front light sensor and a high light condition from the rear

11 of 47
light sensor, the inside rearview mirror will automatically darken the face of the inside rearview mirror and the
driver outside rearview mirror. The inside rearview mirror provides a control circuit and a low reference circuit
to the driver outside rearview mirror to darken the mirror when needed.

With the gear selector lever in the REVERSE position and the engine running, backup lamp control voltage is
supplied as an input to the inside rearview mirror. The mirror monitors this input to disable the automatic day-
night feature. This allows the driver to see objects in the mirrors clearly when backing up, regardless of the rear
light sensor status.

Diagnostic Aids

• Before replacing the rear window Sunshade Module, Rearview Camera, or the Inside Rearview Mirror,
verify the following:

Both backup lamps (left & right) are working properly. Refer to Backup Lamps Malfunction

The customer has not installed LED bulbs in the place of incandescent bulbs.

Circuit/System Description

The outside mirror switch (which is part of the driver window switch) and passenger window switch are on a
serial data circuit with the memory seat module as the master. The mirror select and directional control switches
are inputs to the memory seat module through the serial data circuit. When the memory seat module receives
switch inputs from the outside mirror switch, mirror output commands are sent to the appropriate switch
through the serial data circuit. The outside mirror switch and passenger window switch control the left and right
outside rear view mirrors through bi-directional motor control circuits. The motor control circuits are floating
while in an inactive state and the switches will apply power and ground to the control circuits as necessary to
move the mirror in the commanded direction.

Mirror position is determined by both horizontal and vertical position sensors in each of the power mirrors. The
outside mirror switch and passenger window switch supply a 5 V reference, low reference, and horizontal and
vertical position signal circuits to these sensors. The signal circuits are referenced from 5 V by the switches and
the signal circuit voltage levels represent the mirror positions. The mirror positions are sent to the memory seat
module through the serial data circuit where they are stored for memory mirror operation. When the memory
seat module receives a memory recall command, the memory seat module will send the go to position
commands to the outside mirror switch and passenger window switch. The switches will then drive the
appropriate mirror motors to the commanded position sensor settings.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


AUTOMATIC DAY-NIGHT MIRROR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Inside Rearview Mirror with the Automatic Day-Night Feature System Operation

The inside rearview mirror uses 2 photocell sensors. One sensor is the headlight sensor, located on the face side
of the mirror. The headlight sensor is used to determine light conditions present at the mirror face. The other
sensor is the ambient light sensor, located on the rear of the mirror or windshield side. The ambient light sensor
is used to determine the exterior light conditions. With a low exterior light condition detected, and a high light
condition from behind the car, at the headlight sensor, the inside rearview mirror will automatically darken the
face of the mirror.

In the daytime, the mirror is in a normal state because of the high exterior light condition that is indicated by the
ambient light sensor. With the gear selector lever in the REVERSE position and the Ignition ON/Vehicle in
Service Mode, backup lamp supply voltage is supplied as an input to the inside rearview mirror. The mirror
monitors this input to disable the automatic day-night feature. This allows the driver to see objects in the mirror
clearly when backing up, even during the night.

Driver Outside Rearview Mirror with Automatic Day-Night System Operation (If Equipped)

The automatic day-night feature of the driver outside rearview mirror is controlled by the inside rearview
mirror. The inside rearview mirror supplies control and low reference to the driver outside rearview mirror. At

44 of 47
night, with the automatic day-night feature enabled, the driver outside rearview mirror will automatically darken
with the inside rearview mirror to reduce glare from headlamps behind the vehicle.

Inside Rearview Camera Full Display Mirror System Operation

The inside rearview camera full display mirror is connected to the outside rearview camera via a shielded
coaxial cable. When the tab under the inside rearview mirror is pulled rearward, a view of the area behind the
vehicle displays on the mirror. Adjust the rearview mirror for a clear view of the area behind the vehicle before
turning on full display mirror. Use the button on the back of the mirror to adjust the brightness of the display.
Make sure the light sensor is not covered when adjusting the brightness.

The inside rearview camera full display mirror may not work properly or display a clear image if:

• It is dark.
• The sun or the beam of headlamps are shining directly into the camera lens.
• Ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds up on the camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse it with water, and
wipe it with a soft cloth.

When the mirror detects that the camera is not sending a valid video signal, it "blue screens" with a "no video"
decal for 3 seconds, then reverts back to the mirror. Meanwhile, if a blue screen keeps on displaying instead of
the camera view, take the vehicle to your dealer for service.

OUTSIDE MIRROR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


Power Mirror System Components

The power mirror system consists of the following components:

• Memory Seat Control Module


• Outside Rearview Mirror Switch
• Passenger Window Switch

• Driver Outside Rearview Mirror
• Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror

Callout Component Name

S52 S52 Outside Rearview Mirror Switch
S79P S79P Window Switch - Passenger
A9A A9A Outside Rearview Mirror - Driver
A9B A9B Outside Rearview Mirror - Passenger

Power Mirror System Controls

The outside mirror switch and passenger window switch are on a serial data circuit with the memory seat
control module as the master. The mirror select and directional control switches are inputs to the memory seat
module through the serial data circuit. When the memory seat module receives switch inputs from the outside
mirror switch, mirror output commands are sent to the appropriate switch through the serial data circuit. The
outside mirror switch and passenger window switch control the left and right outside rear view mirrors through
bi-directional motor control circuits. The motor control circuits are floating while in an inactive state and the
switches will apply power and ground to the control circuits as necessary to move the mirror in the commanded
direction.

Mirror position is determined by both horizontal and vertical position sensors in each of the power mirrors. The
outside mirror switch and passenger window switch supply a 5 V reference, low reference, and horizontal and
vertical position signal circuits to these sensors. The signal circuits are referenced from 5 V by the switches and
the signal circuit voltage levels represent the mirror positions. The mirror positions are sent to the memory seat
module through the serial data circuit where they are stored for memory mirror operation. When the memory
seat module receives a memory recall command, the memory seat module will send the go to position
commands to the outside mirror switch and passenger window switch. The switches will then drive the
appropriate mirror motors to the commanded position sensor settings.

Mirror Folding

The outside rearview mirror switch sends the mirror select and mirror fold/unfold inputs to the passenger
window switch and the memory seat control module through LIN data. When the memory seat control module
receives a fold/unfold signal it will send a fold/unfold command to the outside rearview mirror switch and the
passenger window switch. The outside mirrors will fold or unfold depending on their current state. The outside

46 of 47
rearview mirror switch and the passenger window switch control the fold/unfold motors through bi-directional
control circuits. If equipped with auto folding mirrors, the BCM receives the input of the lock/unlock button
being held on the transmitter and sends the signal to the memory seat module through serial data to command
the mirrors to fold/unfold.

Heated Mirrors

The heated mirrors are controlled through the rear defog relay. Whenever the rear window defogger is turned on
battery voltage is supplied to the mirror heater elements through the left and right mirror heater element control
circuits.

Diagnostic Aids

For symptom byte 21, the parking assist control module only runs the diagnostic when the vehicle is driven
greater than 40 km/h (25 MPH). When diagnosing symptom byte 21, the vehicle must be driven greater than 40
km/h (25 MPH) after a repair to verify the concern has been corrected.

The following is a list of reasons this symptom byte 21 might have set:

• One or more of the sensors may be blocked by snow, mud, ice, or debris. This condition may occur after
going through a car wash in cold weather.
• One or more of the sensors may be scratched or the paint maybe chipped.
• Excessive paint thickness on a sensor may cause an excessive sensor ring time. When replacing or
refinishing a sensor, do not apply an excessive amount of paint or clear coat.
• The silicone insulator (ring) surrounding sensor maybe missing, cut, or twisted.
• The sensor may be improperly installed and not fully seated, or the sensor may be misaligned due to a
tight wiring harness.

Circuit/System Description

The parking assist system is enabled and disabled through the parking assist switch. When enabled, the parking
assist indicator will illuminate.

For vehicles without UGN, the switch and indicator are connected to the Parking Assist Control Module. The
Parking Assist Control Module supplies a reference voltage to the parking assist switch. When the switch is
pressed, the signal circuit is grounded. The Parking Assist Control Module can control the Park Assist Indicator
by grounding the control circuit to illuminate the LED which indicates that the system is enabled.

31 of 59
With UGN, the indicator and switch are connected to the Active Safety Control Module. The Active Safety
Control Module receives input from several modules including the Parking Assist Control Module to provide
additional features. Refer to Active Safety System Description and Operation for additional information on
UGN. A malfunction in with the UGN system may also disable parking assist. The parking assist alerts and
DTCs are from the Parking Assist Control Module with the exception of the indicator DTCs which are sent by
the Active Safety Control Module. There are no switch DTCs for vehicles with the Active Safety Control
Module.

The Parking Assist Control Module supplies a reference voltage and a low reference to the parking assist
sensors. The sensors will return a signal based on the reflections from objects within range of the sensors.

When an object is detected, the Parking Assist Control Module will send serial data to the radio and memory
seat module to provide either an audible alert or haptic feedback through the Active Safety Seat. The driver can
select between audible or haptic alerts in the vehicle personalization menu.

Diagnostic Aids

For vehicles with UGN, the parking assist feature can be disabled if the Active Safety Control Module detected
a problem in the active safety system. Check the Active Safety Control Module for DTCs.

The scan tool Park Assist Disable History parameters are a list of the seven previous reasons the parking assist
system was disabled. These parameters may help in the diagnosis of an intermittent concern or a customer
concern which is the result of normal system operation. The following is a brief description of potential causes
which may aid in diagnosis:

• Manual Disable - The parking assist system has been disabled through the parking assist switch or audio
system personalization menu.
• Hitch/Object Attached - The parking assist control module is detecting an object that is attached to the
vehicle. Common items such as a hitch receiver, trailer, or a bicycle rack may cause this concern.
Additionally, damage to the rear of the vehicle or a misaligned sensor may cause this concern. If the
vehicle is damaged in a manner that causes the sensor to detect the bumper itself, the parking assist
control module will interpret this as an attached object and disable the system. Carefully inspect the
bumper, bumper mounting surface, and sensor retainers before continuing with normal diagnosis. After
the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).
• Reverse Overspeed - The vehicle is travelling too fast in reverse at speeds of greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
• Inhibit - The parking assist control module has lost or received invalid GMLAN signal(s).
• Sensor Disturbance - An outside interference is causing sensor movement. Such interference may be
caused a heavy pounding, like that of a nearby jackhammer, or large changes in pressure, such as a large
truck air brakes.
• Sensor Ring Time - If the sensor fails its own diagnostic initialization the parking assist control module
will set this error. After the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater
than 40 km/h (25 mph). The following is a list of reasons this cause may have set:
One or more of the sensors may be blocked by snow, mud, ice, or other debris. This might happen
after going through a car wash in cold weather.
Silicone insulator surrounding sensor maybe missing, cut, or twisted.
Improperly installed sensor, sensor maybe be crooked due to a tight wire harness.
One or more of the sensors may be scratched or the paint maybe chipped.
Excessive paint thickness on a sensor may cause an excessive sensor ring time. When replacing or

32 of 59
refinishing a sensor, do not apply an excessive amount of paint or clear coat.

PARALLEL PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM MALFUNCTION


Diagnostic Instructions

• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The parallel parking assist is activated/deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch at speeds below 30
km/h (18 mph). The activated parallel parking assist then searches for an appropriate parking spot. If a spot is
detected, feedback is given to the driver through the indicator in the driver information center. The driver
accepts the decision by stopping the vehicle. The system calculates the optimal path into the parking lot and will
then guide the vehicle into the chosen spot by taking over the steering control from the driver. The driver only
needs to shift gears, brake and accelerate following the instructions given on the driver information center.

The system consists of the 8 parking assist sensors from the normal parking assist located in the front and rear
bumper, and two additional parallel parking assist sensors on the side of the vehicle. The additional parallel
parking assist sensors are used to measure the parking lot size. The parallel parking assist system uses the 8
parking assist sensors to identify objects in the vehicle's path when moving into the parking lot.

Diagnostic Aids

The following is a brief description of potential causes which may aid in diagnosis:

• Possible disengagement reasons:


Steering input by driver. The driver must not interfere with the steering function during a parking
maneuver.
Vehicle speed. The vehicle is travelling at speeds of greater than 10 km/h (6 MPH) while
performing a parking maneuver.
Electronic stability control or anti-lock brakes are activated.
Failure within the system - check for DTCs.
• Manual Disable - The parking assist system has been disabled through the parking assist switch or audio
system personalization menu.
• Hitch/Object Attached - The parking assist control module is detecting an object that is attached to the

34 of 59
vehicle. Common items such as a hitch receiver, trailer, or a bicycle rack may cause this concern.
Additionally, damage to the rear of the vehicle or a misaligned sensor may cause this concern. If the
vehicle is damaged in a manner that causes the sensor to detect the bumper itself, the parking assist
control module will interpret this as an attached object and disable the system. Carefully inspect the
bumper, bumper mounting surface, and sensor retainers before continuing with normal diagnosis. After
the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater than 40 km/h (25
MPH).
• Sensor Disturbance - An outside interference is causing sensor movement. Such interference may be
caused a heavy pounding, like that of a nearby jackhammer, or large changes in pressure, such as a large
truck's air brakes.
• Sensor Ring Time - If the sensor fails its own diagnostic initialization the parking assist control module
will set this error. After the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater
than 40 km/h (25 MPH). The following is a list of reasons this cause may have set:

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


PARKING ASSIST DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (UD7)

The parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle path when
reversing at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH). The distance and location of the object is determined by four
Parking Assist sensors located in the rear fascia. The parking assist system will notify the driver using audible
beeps through the infotainment system.

The parking assist system is made up of the following components:

• Parking assist control module


• Parking Assist sensors
• Parking assist switch
• Parking assist switch indicator
• Infotainment system

Parking Assist Control Module

The Parking Assist Control Module provides a reference voltage and a low reference to the four Parking Assist
sensors. The Parking Assist Control Module receives individual signals from each of the four sensors and
determines the location and distance of an object based on these inputs. When an object is detected, The Parking
Assist Control Module will send a message via serial data to the infotainment system requesting an audible
alert.

Parking Assist Sensors

The Parking Assist sensors are located in the rear fascia. The sensors are used to determine the distance between
an object and the rear of the vehicle. Each sensor emits an ultrasonic frequency which is reflected off an object
behind the vehicle. These reflections are received by the sensors. The time difference between the emission of
the frequency and when the reflection is received is known as sensor echo time, it is used to determine the
distance to the object. The sensors report this information to The Parking Assist Control Module.

Parking Assist Switch

The parking assist system can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch. The Parking

55 of 59
Assist Control Module applies voltage and monitors the parking assist switch signal circuit. The parking assist
switch is a normally open switch. With the switch open, voltage seen at The Parking Assist Control Module is
high. When the parking assist switch is pressed, the switch is closed and the signal circuit is pulled to ground.
With the switch closed, voltage seen at The Parking Assist Control Module is low. The Parking Assist Control
Module will respond to this by activating or deactivating the parking assist function.

Parking Assist Switch Indicator

When the parking assist system is enabled, The Parking Assist Control Module will illuminate the indicator on
the switch. The indicator receives voltage through a high control circuit from the body control module (BCM)
and is controlled through a low control circuit by The Parking Assist Control Module.

Infotainment System

The infotainment system controls the audible alert for the park assist alert. If the an object is detected the
infotainment system will command beeps as an audible alert to the driver.

Parking Assist Operation

When an object is within the measuring range of the sensor, the ultrasonic pulse is reflected and is received by
the sending or a neighboring sensor. The sensor converts this signal into a voltage signal and sends this signal to
The Parking Assist Control Module. The Parking Assist Control Module evaluates the received sensor signals.
As soon as an object is within the measuring range, The Parking Assist Control Module sends a message via
serial data to the infotainment system to provide an alert signal.

The parking assist system can detect objects greater than 7.6 cm (3 in) wide and 25.4 cm (10 in) tall. The system
cannot detect objects below the bumper or underneath the vehicle.

The parking assist system can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch. When the
transmission is in R, park assist is automatically activated, unless disable by the switch.

The Parking Assist Control Module carries out a self test and monitors the sensors for electrical and mechanical

• The Parking Assist sensors are covered by snow, mud, dirt, slush, or ice.
• The rear fascia is damaged.
• Excessive paint thickness on a replacement parking assist sensor.
• The Parking Assist sensors are disrupted by vibrations, like those caused by a large nearby vehicle or
from heavy equipment such as a jackhammer.

PARKING ASSIST DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (UD5)

The parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle path when
moving forward or reversing at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH). The distance and location of the object is
determined by four Parking Assist sensor located in the rear fascia and four Parking Assist sensors located in
the front fascia. The parking assist system will notify the driver using audible beeps through the infotainment
system or haptic pulses through the driver's seat (if equipped).

The parking assist system is made up of the following components:

• Parking Assist Control Module


• Front Parking Assist sensors
• Rear Parking Assist sensors
• Parking assist switch
• Parking assist indicator
• Infotainment system
• Safety alert seat, if equipped.

Parking Assist Control Module

The Parking Assist Control Module provides a reference voltage and a low reference to the eight Parking Assist
sensors. The Parking Assist Control Module receives individual signals from each of the eight sensors and
determines the location and distance of an object based on these inputs. When an object is detected, the Parking
Assist Control Module will send a serial data message to the infotainment system requesting an audible alert.

Parking Assist Sensors

The Parking Assist sensors are located in the fascias of the vehicle. The sensors are used to determine the
distance between an object and the bumper. Each sensor emits an ultrasonic frequency which is reflected off any
object located in front of or behind the vehicle. These reflections are received by the sensors. The time
difference between the emission of the frequency and when the reflection is received is known as sensor echo
time, it is used to determine the distance to the object. The sensors report this information to the Parking Assist
Control Module.

Parking Assist Switch (All except Cadillac with UGN)

The parking assist system can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch. The Parking
Assist Control Module applies voltage and monitors the parking assist switch signal circuit. The parking assist
switch is a normally open switch. With the switch open, voltage seen at the Parking Assist Control Module is
high. When the parking assist switch is pressed, the switch is closed and the signal circuit is pulled to ground.
With the switch closed, voltage seen at the Parking Assist Control Module is low. The Parking Assist Control

57 of 59
Module will respond to this by activating or deactivating the parking assist function.

Parking Assist Switch (Cadillac with UGN)

The parking assist system can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch. The active
safety control module applies voltage and monitors the parking assist switch signal circuit. The parking assist
switch is a normally open switch. With the switch open, voltage seen at the active safety control module is high.
When the parking assist switch is pressed, the switch is closed and the signal circuit is pulled to ground. With
the switch closed, voltage seen at the active safety control module is low. The active safety control module will
respond to this by sending a serial data message to the Parking Assist Control Module requesting the activation
or deactivation of the parking assist system.

Parking Assist Indicator (All except Cadillac with UGN)

When the parking assist system is enabled, the Parking Assist Control Module will illuminate the indicator on
the switch. The indicator receives voltage through a high control circuit from the body control module (BCM)
and is controlled through a low control circuit by the Parking Assist Control Module.

Parking Assist Indicator (Cadillac with UGN)

When the parking assist system is enabled, the active safety control module will illuminate the indicator on the
switch. The indicator receives voltage through a high control circuit from the body control module (BCM) and
is controlled through a low control circuit by the active safety control module.

Infotainment System

The infotainment system controls the audible alert for the park assist alert. If the an object is detected the
infotainment system will command beeps as an audible alert to the driver.

Safety Alert Seat

The memory seat module controls the haptic alert provided by the seats. If an object is detected, the memory
seat module will command pulses to the driver's seat.

Parking Assist Operation

When an object is within the measuring range of the sensor, the ultrasonic pulse is reflected and is received by
the sending or a neighboring sensor. The sensor converts this signal into a voltage signal and sends this signal to
the Parking Assist Control Module. The Parking Assist Control Module evaluates the received sensor signals.
As soon as an object is within the measuring range, the Parking Assist Control Module sends a message via
serial data to the infotainment system to provide an alert signal.

The parking assist system can detect objects greater than 7.6 cm (3 in) wide and 25.4 cm (10 in) tall. The system
cannot detect objects below the bumper or underneath the vehicle.

The parking assist system can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch. When the
transmission is in R, park assist is automatically activated, unless disable by the switch.

The Parking Assist Control Module carries out a self test and monitors the sensors for electrical and mechanical
faults. Monitored is the power supply of each sensor and the sensor signals. Mud, ice and snow may cause
obstruction of the function of the sensors. The Parking Assist Control Module also determines if the correct
type of sensor is installed. If any of these tests fails, a DTC with corresponding symptom is set and the parking

Component Description
T22 Mobile Device Wireless Charger Inductive charging, also known as "wireless charging", uses
Module a magnetic field to transfer energy between two objects.

3 of 31
Component Description
The wireless charger has an induction coil to create an
alternating magnetic field. A second induction coil in a
portable device takes power from the magnetic field and
converts it back into electric current to charge the battery.
The two induction coils in proximity work similar as an
electrical transformer.
The module controls various vehicle functions like lighting,
central door locking, power windows, etc.
K9 Body Control Module
The control module also reads various switches and sensors
and makes their values available via serial data.

The T22 Mobile Device Wireless Charger Module is controlled by an ignition operated relay and is operational
when the ignition is in the Accessory or On position. When a wireless charging device is placed on the charging
pad/pocket the charging of the device battery will start. The K9 Body Control Module detects the device battery
is charging and sends a serial data message to the P17 Info Display Module which illuminates the charge
indicator.

Diagnostic Aids

• Verify the mobile device can be charged with the proper wireless charging adapter. To check for phone or
other device compatibility, refer to GM Total Connect website.
• Verify the charging pad/pocket is free from debris or any obstruction that may impede charging.

• The ambient operating temperature is between -20 and 60°C (-4 and 140°F) for the charging system
and between 0 and 35°C (32 and 95°F) for the mobile device. If the mobile device temperature
exceeds 35°C (95°F) the mobile device may stop accepting a charge (this may vary with different
mobile devices).
• Verify the mobile device is positioned correctly on the charging pad/pocket and there are no foreign
objects between the mat and the mobile device. It may be necessary to move the device around slightly or
rotate 180 degrees to properly align it on the charging pad/pocket until the device starts to charge. The use
of a protective case may require more precise device placement to allow charging or may inhibit
charging. Try removing the protective case.
• The mobile device may not charge if the charge mat is NOT completely flat or has an air gap which can
be verified by a finger push at the target graphic located at the center of the mat. If the charge mat is NOT
flat, replace the charge mat/rubber liner.
• While operating the vehicle in rough conditions, it is possible for the device to move out of position,
repositioning of the device may be necessary.
• If the mobile device battery is fully charged, the charge indicator on the P17 Info Display Module may
not illuminate.

MOBILE DEVICE WIRELESS CHARGER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Mobile Device Wireless Charging System

Callout Component Name


K9 K9 Body Control Module
T22 Mobile Device Wireless Charger Module
K74 Human Machine Interface Control Module
P17 P17 Info Display Module

The Mobile Device Wireless Charging System (WCS) is an system for wirelessly charging mobile devices. It is
capable of charging the batteries of compatible mobile devices. A compatible device is one that is compliant
with Power Matters Alliance (PMA) or Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) Standard, meaning that it is
equipped with a PMA or WPC wireless charge "receiver" that will work with the charge "transmitter" installed
in the vehicle. The devices may utilize built-in charging circuitry or an adapter (external plug-in device which
contains the charging circuitry). To check for phone or other device compatibility, refer to GM Total Connect.

WARNING: Remove all objects from the charging pad before charging your mobile device.
Objects, such as coins, keys, rings, paper clips, or cards, between the phone
and charging pad will become very hot. On the rare occasion that the charging
system does not detect an object, and the object gets wedged between the
phone and charger, remove the phone and allow the object to cool before
removing it from the charging pad, to prevent burns.

Charging

To charge a device, place it on the charging surface in the vehicle. There is a charging coil located in the center
of the charging surface. The device has a charging coil typically near the center of the device. These coils must
be lined up in order for charging to proceed. When the interruptible retained accessory power (IRAP) relay is
closed (this is true typically when vehicle ignition is in Run or Accessory position), the WCS will detect the
device, establish communications with the device to confirm it is a compatible device, and then deliver charging
power to the device via wireless interface. The WCS will be able to deliver up to 5W of power to compatible
devices. It shall only enter a charging state if communication is established and a compatible device is
identified.

26 of 31
The WCS shall not enter a charging state if there is no communication established with a compatible device. If a
non-compatible device or metallic foreign object is detected, the WCS will not transfer power. The charger
monitors its internal temperature and will shut down if the charger temperature exceeds 185F (85C).

Indicator

The body control module will detect the device battery is charging and send a serial data message on the
GMLAN bus to the radio display. The radio display will indicate a device is currently charging. When the
indicator is toggling on and off this indicates a thermal limit has been reached and the device will not charge.
For more information refer to the owners manual.

Cooling

The wireless charger is kept cool using the HVAC system. There is a dedicated HVAC duct that connects to the
Wireless Charging Module bracket (which holds the module and the mat).

Circuit/System Description

14 of 96
The seat memory control module supplies a reference voltage to each signal circuit of the driver seat adjuster
switch. When the power seat or lumbar switches are pressed, the appropriate signal circuit from the seat
memory control module is pulled low through the switch contacts indicating the power seat command. The seat
memory control module then commands the driver seat or lumbar to move in response to the switch signals.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• DTC B1325 must not be present.


• Module battery voltage must be between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

• If a seat or lumbar switch circuit is active in one direction and the switch for the opposite direction is
pressed, this DTC will set.
• A short to ground on a switch signal circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• A motor output driven in response to a switch considered failed, is deactivated for both directions.
• All memory recall commands are ignored.
• The seat memory control module will respond to any other switch signal that has not set a DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The current DTC will clear and set the DTC to history, when the fault is no longer present and the
ignition is cycled OFF then back to ACC or RUN.
• The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

• If one of the switch signal circuits is shorted to ground, multiple DTCs will set.
• If a switch is stuck in one direction and the switch is pressed in the opposite direction, a single DTC will
set.

Circuit/System Description

Ground is supplied to the seat lumbar support and the seat back side bolster switches. Each switch is also
supplied with a 5 V reference and signal circuits from the seat memory control module. The reference voltage is
applied to a resistive network internal to the switches. When a switch is pressed, the output of the resistive
network results in a voltage drop on the signal circuit to the seat memory control module indicating the lumbar,
bolster, or massage request. In response to this signal, the seat memory control module sends a LIN serial data
message to the seat bolster memory control module commanding it to perform the required pneumatic
movements.

1. All power seat and memory functions are inoperative

Circuit/System Description

The seat memory control module controls the seat motors via half bridges that are connected to a power rail
internal to the module. The seat memory control module connects all of the motor control circuits on the power
rail to a common reference point whenever they are not in operation. The module monitors all seat motor
control circuits for a shorted to ground or voltage before enabling any seat motor.

When a power seat switch is pressed or when a memory recall is requested, each seat motor receives battery
voltage and ground from the seat memory control module via the motor control circuits. All motors are
reversible, so the direction the motor rotates depends on which control circuit voltage is applied and which

32 of 96
control circuit ground is applied. When the switch is operated in the opposite direction, the module reverses the
polarity and applies voltage and ground to the opposite circuits to move the seat in the opposite direction.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• DTC B1325 must not be present.


• Module battery voltage must be between 9 - 16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B3920 00

Current out of the module does not match the current returning to the module from 1.5 - 5 A.

B3920 01

The voltage on any power rail 1 motor control circuit exceeds 2.78 V for 100 ms.

B3920 02

The voltage on any power rail 1 motor control circuit is below 1.47 V for 100 ms.

B3920 0B

The differential current measured through the high and low side of the power rail is within tolerance of each
other, but the absolute current or an over-current has exceeded the maximum value.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The seat memory control module will not allow operation of any motor on the power rail for which the DTC
was set.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The current DTC clears when the fault is no longer present and the power mode changes to ignition OFF
then back to ignition ON.
• The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free ignition cycles have occurred.

1. The power seat and the lumbar support functions are inoperative
2. The lumbar support is inoperative

Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch through a 30 A fuse located in the underhood
fuse block. When a lumbar switch is pressed to move the lumbar support forward, battery voltage is applied
through the switch contacts and the forward control circuit to the seat lumbar support motor. In response to this
signal, the motor assembly energizes moving the lumbar support forward, until the switch is released. When the
switch is pressed to move the lumbar support rearward, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts
and the rearward signal circuit to the seat lumbar support motor. The motor assembly energizes moving the
lumbar support rearward, until the switch is released.

1. The seat lumbar support is inoperative

Circuit/System Description

The lumbar support horizontal motor is reversible. For example, when the lumbar switch is operated to move
the lumbar support forward, the switch signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low
indicating the lumbar forward command. In response to this signal, the seat memory control module applies
battery voltage through the lumbar motor forward control circuit and ground through the lumbar motor rearward
control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the lumbar support forward towards the occupants back
until the switch is released. Moving the lumbar support rearward works similarly to moving the lumbar support
forward, except that battery positive voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor
to run in the opposite direction.

1. Memory seat feature is inoperative

Circuit/System Description

Low reference is supplied to the seat memory switch from the seat memory control module. When a memory
switch is pressed, the signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low through the switch
contacts and series of resistors indicating the memory recall request. In response to this signal, the seat memory
control module commands the appropriate seat motors to move to the pre-recorded seat positions stored in
memory.

Diagnostic Aids

• The seat memory control module must be awake when measuring voltage from either one of the memory
seat switch signal circuits. Voltage readings of 0.0 V or 5.0 V are possible if the module is not fully
awake and result in misdiagnosing the circuit.
• When using remote keyless entry for vehicle access, the driver seat memory functions will operate only
with transmitters 1 and 2. Transmitters 3 - 8 cannot be programmed for memory seat functions.

Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a 5 A fuse located in the
underhood fuse block. This voltage is used by the module for logic power. Battery positive voltage is also
supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a 30 A fuse also located in the underhood fuse
block. This voltage is connected to a power rail internal to the seat memory control module and is used to drive
all driver power seat motors. Each seat motor is controlled by the seat memory control module by applying
power and ground through the control circuits to the motor.

All motors are reversible. For example, when the seat switch is operated to move the entire seat forward, the
switch signal circuit from the seat memory control module is pulled low indicating the entire seat forward
command. In response to this signal, the seat memory control module applies battery voltage through the driver
seat horizontal motor forward control circuit and ground through the driver seat horizontal motor rearward
control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving
the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery positive voltage
and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All driver
power seat motors are powered this way.

Circuit/System Description

The driver and passenger power seats are completely controlled through the seat adjuster switch. Battery
voltage is supplied at all times to the seat adjuster switch through a 30 A fuse located in the underhood fuse
block. When the seat switches are in an inactive state, the switch contacts are closed to the switch ground
circuit.

All seat motors are reversible. For example, when the seat horizontal forward switch is pressed to move the
entire seat forward, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the seat horizontal motor

61 of 96
rearward control circuit to the motor. With the horizontal motor rearward switch contacts closed to the switch
ground circuit, the motor runs in order to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving the
entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery positive voltage and
ground are applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All seat motors are
powered this way.

Circuit/System Description

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a 10 A fuse located in the
underhood fuse block. This voltage is used by the module for logic power. Battery positive voltage is also
supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through a 30 A fuse located in the underhood fuse
block. This voltage is connected to a power rail internal to the seat memory control module and is used to drive
the power seat motors. Each seat motor is controlled by the seat memory control module by applying power and
ground through the control circuits to the motor.

All motors are reversible. For example, when the seat switch is operated to move the entire seat forward, a serial
data message is sent from the seat adjuster switch to the seat memory control module indicating the entire seat
forward command. In response to this message, the seat memory control module applies battery voltage through
the driver seat horizontal motor forward control circuit and ground through the driver seat horizontal motor
rearward control circuit to the motor. The motor runs to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released.
Moving the entire seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery positive
voltage and ground are applied on the opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction.

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .

WARNING: In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, loss of high voltage isolation to
ground and higher system impedance, do not attempt to repair any HV wiring,
connector, or terminal that is damaged. High voltage coaxial type cables are not
repairable. Never attempt to repair a coaxial type cable. The entire
cable/harness or component must be replaced. In order to maintain system
integrity and personal safety, never attempt to repair any high voltage wiring,
cables, or terminals. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may
result in serious injury or death.

NOTE: If the wiring harness internal to the transmission is damaged, the wiring
harness must be replaced. The use of splice sleeves in an attempt to repair the
internal transmission wires, connectors, or terminals could result in
performance issues.

NOTE: Do not splice wires in Door Harness Grommets.

NOTE: • Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the
splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
• When performing wire-to-wire repairs with wires of different sizes
(Example: installation of Terminated Leads or Pigtails), refer to the Folded-
Over Wire Selection Table Refer to: Folded-Over Wire Repair

Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except high voltage and

NOTE: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the
procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip
with all of the wire strands intact.

1. Open the harness by removing any tape:


• Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in
order to avoid wire insulation damage.
• Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except Tefzel and coaxial.
• Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.

Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness
branches, or connectors.

3. Strip the insulation:


• When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
• Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
Find the wire on the schematic and convert to regional wiring gauge size.
If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and
work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
• Strip approximately 5.0 mm (0.20 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
• Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
• If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. For high temperature wiring 150°C (302°F) continuous or 175°C (347°F) excursion, use high
temperature heat shrink tube (Raychem SCT1) over the DuraSeal splice area. Refer to High Temperature
Wiring Repairs below.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table above, at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool
nests.

6.

71 of 96
Non GMNA Crimping Tool EL-38125-10 Splice Sleeve Crimping Tool has four crimp nests. The largest
crimp nest (4) is used for crimping 5.0 and 3.0 mm2 (10 and 12 gauge) wires. The second largest crimp
nest (3) is used for crimping 2.0 and 1.0 mm2 (14 and 16 gauge) wires. The third largest crimp nest (2) is
used for crimping 0.75 and 0.50 mm2 (18 and 20 gauge) wires. The smallest crimp nest (1) is used for
crimping 0.35 and 0.13 mm2 (22 to 26 gauge) wires. The crimp nests are referenced in the table (farther
above) under the crimp tool nest color.

7.

GMNA crimping tool J-38125-8 splice sleeve crimping tool has three crimp nests. The largest crimp nest
(3) is used for crimping 5.0 and 3.0 mm2 (10 and 12 gauge). The second largest crimp nest (2) is used for
crimping 2.0 and 1.0 mm2 (14 and 16 gauge) wires. The smallest crimp nest (1) is used for crimping 0.75

72 of 96
and 0.50 mm2 (18 and 20 gauge) wires. The crimp nests are referenced in the table (farther above) under
the crimp tool nest color.

8. Use the splice sleeve crimp tool in order to position the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the proper color nest of
the splice sleeve crimp tool. For the four crimp nest tool, use the three largest crimp nests to crimp the
splice sleeves. For the three crimp nest tool, use all three crimp nests to crimp the splice sleeves. Use the
four and three crimp tool diagrams (above) and the table (farther above) to match the splice sleeve with
the correct crimp nest. The crimp tool diagram call out numbers match the numbers in the table (under
crimp tool nest color).

9.

Place the DuraSeal splice sleeve in the nest. Ensure that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) in order to prevent the wire (1)
from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to firmly hold the DuraSeal splice
sleeve in the proper nest.

10.

73 of 96
Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop. Refer to Folded-Over Wire
Repair for splicing wires 0.35 and 0.13 mm2 (22 to 26 gauge) wires and for splicing wires of different
gauges.

11. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.

The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal splice
sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 6 for the opposite end of the splice.

12.

74 of 96
Using the EL-38125-5A Ultra Torch Special Tool, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.

13. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:
• The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
• A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

sleeve. Holding the DuraSEAL with one hand gently tug on the wire to ensure it is crimped in the
DuraSeal.

3. Using the EL-38125-5A Ultra Torch Special Tool, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.

4.

Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends of the tubing:

76 of 96
• The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
• A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is
achieved.

5.

Tape the excess terminated lead(s) back into the harness. The tape should cover the harness by 25 mm (1
Inch). Use care to make sure the taping does not cause strain on the wiring and terminals, Improper taping
can cause wire and terminal fretting.

High Temperature Wiring Repairs

Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:

NOTE: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration
would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.

Items Required

• DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections


• High temperature heat shrink tubing (Raychen SCT1) to protect the splice sleeves
• Terminated leads or pigtails
• The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors

NOTE: Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous
temperature of the same or larger gauge size as the original wire when repair
damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove during the repair.

Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures 150°C (302°F) continuous or 175°C (347°F) excursion for
prolonged periods of time may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating

77 of 96
than typical wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:

Wire to Wire Repair Incl High Temp

• Use GM approved high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to
replace any damaged wire.
• Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
• Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with high temperature heat shrink tubing (Raychen SCT1).
• After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat source.

CONNECTOR RECONNECTION - SEATS

Special Tools

EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .

When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be intermittent. An
intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the symptom cannot be duplicated.
Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of causing the condition before trying to locate an
intermittent condition.

Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following
items:

• Loose, corroded, or painted terminal stud/fastener


• Wiring broken inside the insulation
• Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
• A terminal not seated all the way into the connector body
• Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps,
poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion in the wire
to terminal contact area, etc.
• Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The conductor
can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire
in the suspect circuits.
• Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent open or
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
• Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order
to verify the customer concern.
• Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
• Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder
operation.

Testing for Terminal Fretting

78 of 96
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is a build-up
of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between electrical contacts. The
oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that the electrical resistance across the
connection increases. Movement between the contacting surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause
fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and
hard to see. Vibration and thermal expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since
vehicles vibrate and can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin,
copper, nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult to
see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.

To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add dielectric grease / lubricant (Nyogel
760G or equivalent, meeting GM specification 12345579) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then
reconnect the connector and wipe away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact
resistance due to the terminal fretting corrosion.

Testing for Proper Terminal Contact

It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect
component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between
the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation.

Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged
connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause
contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion,
causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.

Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always
use the EL-35616 kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining
the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the
female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.

Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers

It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses and relays in
a bussed electrical center. Use the EL-35616 kit to test for proper terminal contact. Failure to use the EL-35616
kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.

Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:

1. Separate the connector halves.


2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green
build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance,
intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of
contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly different
between a known good terminal and the suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.

Flat Wire Connectors

There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.

79 of 96
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:

1. Remove the component in question.


2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the
connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to
ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question.

Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds

Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.

• Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying voltage to
a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply circuits that may
also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors, fuses, and any
intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component. A test lamp or a DMM
may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current.
Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing
, and Power Distribution Wiring Schematics .
• Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple ground
circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need to be tested.
Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point (screw or stud). Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to test the
ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing , and Ground Distribution
Wiring Schematics .

Temperature Sensitivity

• An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating


temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when the
component/connection is hot.
• Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type of
intermittent condition, where applicable.
• If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
High ambient temperatures
Underhood/engine generated heat
Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
• If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
The condition only occurs on a cold start.
The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
• Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is temperature

80 of 96
related.
• If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the condition.
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required.

Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise

Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of electrical
noise. Inspect for the following conditions:

• A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary ignition
components, motors, generator etc. - These components may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could
interfere with normal circuit operation.
• Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven solenoid or
switch - These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will occur when the
malfunctioning component is operating.
• Installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way radios, amplifiers,
electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc. - These accessories may create
interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would disappear when the accessory is
not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories .
• Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays may
contain a clamping diode.
• The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.

Incorrect Control Module

• There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
A new service control module is installed.
A control module from another vehicle is installed.
Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

NOTE: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME


software/calibration files that are already present in the control module.
This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.

• Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming is
found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


LUMBAR SUPPORT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (WITH MEMORY SEAT A45)

The seat lumbar support system includes to following components:

• Seat lumbar support switch


• Seat bolster memory control module
• Seat memory control module
• Seat lumbar/bolster pump
• Air bladders

Seat Lumbar Switch

The driver seat lumbar support switch is a resistive ladder switch. The seat memory control module supplies the
switch with a 5 V reference circuit. When a lumbar switch is pressed, the signal circuit from the seat memory
control module is pulled low through the switch contacts and series of resistors indicating the lumbar support
request. In response to this signal, the seat memory control module then commands the seat bolster memory
module, via LIN serial data messages, to perform the required pneumatic lumbar movements.

Lumbar Operation

Once the seat memory control module receives a lumbar switch signal, the module will then command the seat
bolster memory control module to perform the required pneumatic movements via LIN serial data messages.

The seat bolster memory control module contains the electronic circuitry for executing the commanded
pneumatic seat adjustments, air direction solenoids and an output which supplies battery power to the external
seat air pump motor when any of the air bladders require inflating.

Based on the LIN command from the seat memory control module, the seat bolster memory control module
controls the appropriate air solenoids and activates or deactivates the external air pump in order to inflate or
deflate the air bladders in the correct combination. When an air bladder needs inflating its solenoid opens and
the pump motor is activated pumping air into the bladder. When an air bladder needs deflating its solenoid
opens the release valve and air is allowed to bleed out of the bladder into the vehicle cabin.

Refer to the Owner's Manual for more information regarding the seat lumbar support functions.

LUMBAR SUPPORT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (WITHOUT MEMORY SEAT A45)

The seat lumbar support system includes to following components:

• Seat lumbar support switch


• Seat lumbar support valve assembly
• Seat lumbar support pump
• Air bladders

The driver seat lumbar support switch is a resistive ladder switch. The seat lumbar support valve assembly

90 of 96
supplies the seat lumbar support switch with a signal and low reference circuits. When a lumbar switch is
pressed, the signal circuit from the seat lumbar support valve assembly is pulled low through the switch
contacts and series of resistors indicating the lumbar support request. In response to this request, the lumbar
adjuster valve assembly energizes its internal inflate solenoid and applies battery voltage through the lumbar
support pump control circuit to the pump. The pump runs to inflate the appropriate support bladder until the
switch is released.

Refer to the Owner's Manual for more information regarding the seat lumbar support functions.

MEMORY SEATS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The memory seat system consists of the following components:

• K40 Seat memory control module


• S64 Seat adjuster switch
• S47 Seat memory switch
• M51 Seat horizontal motor
• M50 Seat front vertical motor
• M55 Seat rear vertical motor
• M56 Seat recline motor

Driver Seat Adjuster Switch

The seat memory control module supplies a low current voltage to each signal circuit of the seat adjuster switch.
When the driver seat adjuster switches are pressed, the appropriate signal circuit from the seat memory control
module is pulled low through the switch contacts indicating the power seat command. The seat memory control
module then commands the appropriate driver seat motor to move in response to the switch signal.

Seat Memory Control Module Power and Grounds

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat memory control module through two different circuits. One
circuit is used by the module to apply power to the driver seat motors and lumbar motors, if equipped, when
commanded ON. The second battery voltage circuit is used to power up module and supply a reference voltage
to the seat position sensors. Ground is provided to the seat memory control module through a single ground
circuit and ground connection.

Seat Motors

There are 4 motors that move the position of the seat. These are the seat horizontal motor, seat front vertical
motor, seat rear vertical motor, and the seat back recline motor. The horizontal motor moves the entire seat
forward and rearward. The seat front vertical motor moves the front of the seat cushion up or down. The seat
rear vertical motor moves the rear of the seat cushion up and down. Due to the seat adjuster switch design the
front tilt and the seat height adjuster motor cannot be operated at the same time The recline motor moves the
angle of the seat back forward or rearward.

The seat memory control module controls all seat and lumbar motors via half bridges that are connected to a
single power rail internal to the module. The module connects all seat and lumbar motor outputs to a common
ground whenever they are not in operation. The seat memory control module checks to see if any motor control
circuits are shorted to ground or voltage before enabling any seat or lumbar motor. All of the motors operate
independently of each other. Each motor contains a electronic circuit breaker (PTC), which will reset only after
voltage has been removed from the motor.

91 of 96
All seat motors are reversible. For example, when a seat switch is pressed to move the entire seat forward,
ground is applied through the switch contacts onto the seat horizontal forward switch signal circuit to the seat
memory control module. In response to this signal, the module applies battery voltage through the driver seat
horizontal motor forward control circuit and ground through the driver seat horizontal motor rearward control
circuit to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the entire seat forward. Moving the entire seat rearward
works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery voltage and ground are applied on the
opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All of the motors are powered this way.

Position Sensors

To monitor seat position, each seat motor has an internal 2-wire hall-effect position sensor. The seat memory
control module supplies all the sensors with a common 12 V reference when the seat is moving and a unique
signal circuit for each sensor. During seat motor operation, the position sensors provide a specific number of
pulse signals for every revolution of the motor shaft.

The seat memory control module determines seat position by keeping a running counter where movement in the
forward/upward direction adds counts and movement in the rearward/down direction subtracts counts. The
value of the counter will be in the range of 0 - 65, 535

The value of these counters, which represent seat positions, are stored in memory for future seat memory recall
operation. During a memory seat position recall, the seat memory control module moves the seat in such a way
to return it the stored counter value.

Memory Functions

In all power modes except crank, memory recalls can be initiated by pressing and holding one of the memory
position buttons until the seat reaches the stored memory position associated with the activated button. This is
called a supervised recall.

The seat memory control module supplies a ground at all times through a low reference circuit to the driver seat
memory switch. The module also supplies memory set and memory recall signal circuits to the seat memory
switch. When a memory recall switch is pressed, the signal circuit from the seat memory control module is
pulled low through the switch contacts and a series of resistors indicating the memory recall request. In
response to this signal, the seat memory control module commands the appropriate seat motors to move to the
pre-recorded seat positions stored in memory.

Refer to the Owner's Manual for storing memory positions.

Auto Memory Recall and Easy Exit

The seat memory control module will not perform Auto Memory Seat Recall and Easy Exit functions unless
these options are enabled in vehicle personalization using the radio/HVAC controls.

Refer to Instruments and Controls/Vehicle Personalization in the Owner's Manual for the following memory
personalization options:

• Auto Memory Recall


• Easy Exit Options

The radio/HVAC controls reports the auto memory recall option settings to the seat memory control module via
serial data message. The module will then store the memory recall option setting and examine it before making
a memory seat adjustment. The auto memory recall option setting stored within the module will not change until

92 of 96
the auto memory recall option setting in vehicle personalization is changed.

POWER SEATS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (PASSENGER WITH SEAT BOLSTER
MEMORY CONTROL MODULE)

The passenger power seat motors controlled by a seat memory control module consists of the following
components:

• Seat adjuster switch


• Seat memory control module
• Seat horizontal motor
• Seat front vertical motor
• Seat rear vertical motor
• Seat recline motor

Passenger Seat Adjuster Switch

The seat adjuster switch on vehicles equipped with the seat memory lumbar/bolster feature is a LIN Bus device.
When a power seat switch is pressed, a serial data message is sent from the seat adjuster switch to the seat
memory control module indicating the power seat command. The seat memory control module then commands
the appropriate seat motor to move in response to the switch signal.

Seat Memory Control Module Power and Grounds

Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the passenger seat memory control module through a 30 A fuse
located in the right instrument panel fuse block. This voltage is used by the module to apply power to the seat
motors when commanded ON. Battery voltage is also supplied at all times to the seat memory control module
through a 10 A fuse located in the left instrument panel fuse block. This voltage is used to power up module.
Ground is provided to the seat memory control module through a single ground circuit and ground connection.

Seat Motors

There are 4 motors that move the position of the seat. These are the seat horizontal motor, seat front vertical
motor, seat rear vertical motor, and the seat back recline motor. The horizontal motor moves the entire seat
forward and rearward. The seat front vertical motor moves the front of the seat cushion up or down. The seat
rear vertical motor moves the rear of the seat cushion up and down. Due to the seat adjuster switch design the
front tilt and the seat height adjuster motor cannot be operated at the same time The recline motor moves the
angle of the seat back forward or rearward.

The seat memory control module controls all seat motors via half bridges that are connected to a single power
rail internal to the module. The module connects all seat motor outputs to a common ground whenever they are
not in operation. The seat memory control module checks to see if any motor control circuits are shorted to
ground or voltage before enabling any seat motor. All of the motors operate independently of each other. Each
motor contains a electronic circuit breaker (PTC), which will reset only after voltage has been removed from the
motor.

All seat motors are reversible. For example, when a seat switch is pressed to move the entire seat forward,
ground is applied through the switch contacts onto the seat horizontal forward switch signal circuit to the seat
memory control module. In response to this signal, the module applies battery voltage through the seat
horizontal motor forward control circuit and ground through the seat horizontal motor rearward control circuit
to the motor. The motor runs in order to drive the entire seat forward. Moving the entire seat rearward works

93 of 96
similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery voltage and ground are applied on the opposite
circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All of the motors are powered this way.

Memory Functions

The passenger power seat system controlled by the seat memory control module does not support seat memory
functions. Its purpose is to support the seat bolster memory control module.

POWER SEATS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (DRIVER WITHOUT MEMORY OR


PASSENGER WITHOUT SEAT BOLSTER MEMORY CONTROL MODULE)

The 8 - way power seat system consists of the following components:

• S64 Seat adjuster switch


• M51 Seat horizontal motor
• M50 Seat front vertical motor
• M55 Seat rear vertical motor
• M56 Seat recline motor

The 6 - way power seat system consists of the following components:

• S64 Seat adjuster switch


• M51 Seat horizontal motor
• M55 Seat rear vertical motor
• M56 Seat recline motor

Seat Motors

Each power seat motor contains an electronic circuit breaker (PTC) that opens in the event of a circuit overload
and will reset only after voltage has been removed from the circuit. The seat horizontal motor moves the entire
seat forward and rearward. The seat front vertical motor moves the front of the seat cushion up or down. The
driver 8 - way power seat, the rear vertical motor moves the rear of the seat cushion up or down, while the
passenger 6 - way power seat, the rear vertical motor moves the entire seat up or down. The seat recline motor
moves the angle of the seat back cushion forward or rearward.

Seat Operation

The seat adjuster switches provide both power and ground to the selected seat motors. When the switches are in
an inactive state, the switch contacts are closed to the switch ground circuit

All seat motors are reversible. For example, when the seat horizontal forward switch is pressed to move the
entire seat forward, battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts and the seat horizontal motor forward
control circuit to the motor. With the horizontal motor rearward switch contacts closed to the switch ground
circuit, the motor runs in order to drive the entire seat forward until the switch is released. Moving the entire
seat rearward works similarly to moving the entire seat forward, except that battery voltage and ground are
applied on opposite circuits causing the motor to run in the opposite direction. All seat motors are powered this
way.

SEAT SIDE BOLSTER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The memory lumbar/bolster system uses air bladders to adjust various aspects of the seat configuration to meet

94 of 96
an occupant's preference. It also allows these adjustments to be stored to a memory position along with the seat
position data.

Some vehicles may also be equipped with dynamic mode control which gives the chassis subsystem the ability
to request an automatic adjustment to the seat's bolster support depending on vehicle driving conditions.

The various seat adjustments and functionality which may be possible include:

• Lumbar support - forward and rearward


• Lumbar support - up and down
• Seat back side bolster
• Upper shoulder support
• Back massage functionality

The components of the system include:

• LIN based seat switch


• Bolster memory control module
• Radio
• Information display
• Seat memory control module
• Seat air pump motor
• Air bladders

LIN Seat Switch

The seat switch communicates all customer requests for seat movement or adjustment via the LIN serial data
bus to the seat memory control module. The seat switch may consist of the following controls:

• Seat adjuster switch similar to the typical discrete seat switch


• Massage On/Off switch, if massage is equipped
• 4-way multi-function switch which can be activated Up/Down/Forward/Rearward
• Feature select rotary ring around the outside of the 4-way multi-function Switch

Manipulating the seat cushion and seat back control bar results in the seat memory control module responding
in the same way as it would if the resultant requests were made by discrete signals instead of the LIN messaging
this switch employs.

Information Feature Display

Due to the number of pneumatic lumbar/bolster features available, and that the 4-way multi-function switch
controls different operations depending on feature selection, the information display is used for the visual
feedback of the feature selected as well as which operations of the feature are under the control of the 4-way
multi-function switch.

The seat memory control module will track and maintain which lumbar/bolster features are available on the
vehicle as well as the current feature selection and its settings. This information is communicated via GMLAN
to the radio tuner which in turn communicates it to the information interface for display. The display will show
a seat image with the specific selected feature highlighted. In addition, arrows and text will indicate the

95 of 96
functions to be adjusted by the 4-way multi-function switch.

If the seat selection menu is not showing on the display, adjusting the lumbar/bolster seat switches will bring
this menu up. Only when the display is active and the various features are displayed by the infotainment system,
then customer can then use the rotary ring to move up or down the feature menu. The display will show a seat
image with the specific selected feature highlighted along with arrows and text to indicate the functions to be
adjusted by the 4-way multi-function switch.

Lumbar/Bolster Operation

Once the lumbar/bolster feature has been selected, the seat memory control module will command the seat
bolster memory control module to perform the required pneumatic movements via LIN serial data messages.

The seat bolster memory control module contains the electronic circuitry for executing the commanded
pneumatic seat adjustments, air direction solenoids, pressure sensors for storing air bladder pressures, and an
output which supplies battery power to the external seat air pump motor when any of the air bladders require
inflating.

Based on the LIN command from the seat memory control module, the seat bolster memory control module
controls the appropriate air solenoids and activates or deactivates the external air pump in order to inflate or
deflate the air bladders in the correct combination. When an air bladder needs inflating its solenoid opens and
the pump motor is activated pumping air into the bladder. When an air bladder needs deflating its solenoid
opens the release valve and air is allowed to bleed out of the bladder into the vehicle cabin.

To support memory recall and massage, the seat bolster memory control module uses internal air pressure
sensors to track, store and recall the positions of all the air bladders under its control.

The massage On/Off switch on the LIN seat switch allows the customer to turn the massage feature on and off
without having to go back into the seat feature menu for set-up.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
A11 RADIO: PROGRAMMING AND SETUP

NOTE: • DO NOT program a control module unless directed to by a service procedure


or a service bulletin. If the control module is not properly configured with the
correct calibration software, the control module will not control all of the
vehicle features properly.
• Ensure the programming tool is equipped with the latest software and is
securely connected to the data link connector. If there is an interruption during
programming, programming failure or control module damage may occur.
• Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking,
over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. When required,
install a battery maintainer or power supply that provides a steady and stable
voltage. Do not use a battery charger, as charging voltage will often fluctuate
when connected to the vehicle. This may interrupt programing. If a battery
maintainer is not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or booster
pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply.
• Turn OFF or disable systems that may put a load on the vehicles battery such
as; interior lights, exterior lights (including daytime running lights), HVAC,
radio, etc.
• During the programming procedure, follow the SPS prompts for the correct
ignition switch position.
• Clear DTCs after programming is complete. Clearing powertrain DTCs will set
the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) system status indicators to NO.

Diagnostic Aids

• Check for Preliminary information or Technical Service bulletins before programming.

6 of 76
• During programming you may be required to select multiple calibrations dependent upon vehicle equipment.
Have the vehicle build/RPO information available during the following procedure to ensure the correct
calibrations are selected.
• If the control module calibration is only being updated, USB programming may not be required, depending on
the current software level, or the release of updates. If USB programming may not be required when
replacing/reprogramming the control module. If USB files for the application are not available via SPS, or
have not been received from General Motors in another manner, the USB process will not need to be
performed unless instructed otherwise in a service document or publication.
• The vehicle can be moved to an alternate location when performing the USB portion of the programming steps
which could allow the possibility of working on another vehicle while the USB programming event is taking
place.
• When transferring a large file (>1GB) from the Techline Connect server to the PC then to a USB stick, below
are some useful tips:
A wired connection to the network is the quickest, most stable way to download the file.
Wireless connections can be used, however slower connection speeds may increase the likelihood of
errors to occur during file download.
Once the file is downloaded to the PC, it will reside in chase unless the chase is cleared. Any additional
USB sticks made from that PC will be copied from chase and take a much shorter time compared to
downloading from the server.
Never take a USB stick directly to a vehicle for updating without starting a Techline Connect session for
that particular VIN. If software is already on the stick, Techline Connect will take only seconds to
confirm software on the stick is the latest and correct for that vehicle. Failure to perform this step will
result in no warranty claim code indicating a USB programming event was completed.
• If the radio displays "calibrate device, one or more devices need to be calibrated" in SPS program the radio
selecting replace and program.

Reference Information

Special Tools

• USB 2.0 flash drive with a minimum capacity of 16 GB.

RPO list to determine which deployment loops the vehicle is equipped with.
6. Compare the applicable deployment loops that were identified using the schematics to the enabled deployment
loops identified on the scan tool.

Each enabled deployment loop should have the following information. This is only an example. The actual
deployment loops will vary:

• Deployment Loop 1 Type = Driver Steering Wheel Air Bag Stage 1


• Deployment Loop 1 Enabled Status = Enabled
• Deployment Loop 1 Learn Status = Learned
7. For each Deployment Loop [x] Type that is identified, ensure that the following Deployment Loop [x] Enabled
Status is Enabled and Deployment Loop [x] Learn Status is Learned.

installed on the vehicle. Ensure that all airbag and pretensioner electrical connectors are undamaged and
properly connected, with the TPA engaged. Ensure there is no circuit damage to related wiring and all
in-line connectors are secure. A DTC may also accompany this condition to aid diagnosis, indicating a
circuit fault at the appropriate component.

If a Deployment Loop [x] Type is not identified and the Deployment Loop [x] Learn Status is
Learned

Equipment has been added to the vehicle. Ensure all the appropriate air bags and pretensioners are
installed on the vehicle, with no additional components added. This may include resistors added to the
vehicle to simulate a deployment loop in livery vehicles such as hearses or limousines.

Sensor Configuration Mismatch

1. Using the scan tool, select Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module.
2. Select Data Displays.
3. Select Sensor Configuration.
4. Each Sensor has the following scan tool parameters:
• Impact Sensor [x] Type

cases, this may require comparing the schematic information to the vehicle RPO list to determine which
impact sensors the vehicle is equipped with.
6. Compare the applicable impact sensors that were identified using the schematics to the enabled impact sensors
identified on the scan tool.

Each enabled impact sensor should have the following information. This is only an example. The actual impact
sensors will vary:

34 of 76
• Impact Sensor 3 Type = Center Front
• Impact Sensor 3 Enabled Status = Enabled
• Impact Sensor 3 Learn Status = Learned
7. For each Impact Sensor [x] Type that is identified, ensure that the following Impact Sensor [x] Enabled Status
is Enabled and Impact Sensor [x] Learn Status is Learned.
If an Impact Sensor [x] Type is identified and the Impact Sensor [x] Learn Status is not Learned

Equipment is missing from the vehicle. Ensure all the appropriate impact sensors are installed on the
vehicle. Ensure that all impact sensor electrical connectors are undamaged and properly connected, with
the TPA engaged. Ensure there is no circuit damage to related wiring and all in-line connectors are
secure. A DTC may also accompany this condition to aid diagnosis, indicating a circuit fault at the
appropriate component.

SERVICE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM (SPS)

For step-by-step control module programming instructions, please refer to the techline information system (TIS)
terminal.

Review the information below to ensure proper programming protocol.

NOTE: • DO NOT program a control module unless you are directed by a service
procedure or you are directed by a General Motors service bulletin.
Programming a control module at any other time will not permanently correct a
customers concern.
• It is essential that the TIS terminal, MDI/MDI2, and/or Scan Tool, is equipped
with the latest software before performing service programming.
• Stable battery voltage is critical during programming. Any fluctuation, spiking,
over voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt programming. When required,
install a battery maintainer or power supply that provides a steady and stable
voltage. Do not use a battery charger, as charging voltage will often fluctuate
when connected to the vehicle. This may interrupt programing. If a battery
maintainer is not available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or booster
pack disconnected from the AC voltage supply.
• Some modules will require additional programming/setup events to be
performed before or after programming.
• Some vehicles may require the use of a CANDi or MDI/MDI2 module for
programming.
• Review the appropriate service information for these procedures.
• DTCs may set during programming. Clear DTCs after programming is
complete.
• Clearing powertrain DTCs will set the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) system
status indicators to NO.

Ensure the following conditions are met before programming a control module:

1. Vehicle system voltage:


• There is not a charging system concern. All charging system concerns must be repaired before
programming a control module.
• Battery voltage is greater than 12 volts but less than 16 volts. The battery must be fully charged before
programming the control module.

69 of 76
• Turn OFF or disable any system that may put a load on the vehicles battery, such as the following
components:
Interior lights
Exterior lights including daytime running lights (DRL) - Applying the parking brake, on most
vehicles, disables the DRL system
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
Engine cooling fans
Radio, etc.
2. The ignition switch must be in the proper position. SPS prompts you to turn ON the ignition, with the engine
OFF. DO NOT change the position of the ignition switch during the programming procedure, unless instructed
to do so.
3. Make certain all tool connections are secure, including the following components and circuits:
• Scan Tool
The RS-232 communication cable port
The connection at the data link connector (DLC)
The voltage supply circuits
• MDI/MDI2
The USB, Ethernet or Wireless communication port
The connection at the data link connector (DLC)
4. DO NOT disturb the tool harnesses while programming. If an interruption occurs during the programming
procedure, programming failure or control module damage may occur.

In the event of an interrupted or unsuccessful programming event, perform the following steps:

1. DO NOT turn the ignition OFF. Ensure that all control module and DLC connections are secure and the TIS
terminal operating software is up to date.
2. Attempt to reprogram the control module.
3. If the control module can still not be programmed, turn the ignition OFF for at least one minute.
4. Turn the ignition ON and attempt to reprogram the control module. The control module should program.
If the control module still cannot be programmed, replace the control module.

After successfully programming the control module, ensure that all post programming procedures are performed;
refer to Control Module References for the appropriate control module Programming and Setup document for any
required procedures.

Q77 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE CHARACTERIZATION PROGRAMMING

The solenoids in this transmission require unique performance characteristic data in order to function at maximum
efficiency. This data is programmed and stored in the vehicle's transmission control module (TCM). When a
transmission assembly, TCM, or solenoids are replaced during service, the performance characteristic data for the
solenoids must be retrieved from a web server "cloud" repository and reprogrammed into the TCM.

Reprogramming also ensures that the characteristic data relationship is properly matched between the solenoids,
valve body, and transmission.

Solenoid characterization reprogramming is performed using the TIS2Web Service Programming System (SPS).

Solenoid Reprogramming Procedure

70 of 76
Perform solenoid characterization reprogramming after one of the following service procedures:

NOTE: Select "Replace Transmission" at the MCVM Characterization selection screen.

• Replace transmission assembly

NOTE: Select "Replace Valve Body" at the MCVM Characterization selection screen.

• Replace valve body assembly

NOTE: Select "Replace Solenoid" at the MCVM Characterization selection screen.

• Replace solenoid (currently not an available Service Procedure)

NOTE: Select "Refresh Characterization Data" at the MCVM Characterization selection


screen.

• Replace TCM

To perform solenoid characterization after a transmission component replacement:

1. Document the new Transmission Unique Number (TUN) or Part Unique Number (PUN) as required.
• The TUN location may be found here: Transmission Identification Information . Since the TUN can
be difficult to access when the transmission is installed in the vehicle, ensure you document the 16-digit
TUN prior to installing the transmission in the vehicle.
• The PUN location may be found here: Control Valve Solenoid Body Identification Information .
Before installing the control valve solenoid body onto the transmission, document the 16-digit PUN. If
the control valve solenoid body PUN has not been saved for reference, it may be necessary to
disassemble the control valve solenoid body from the transmission to clearly read the control valve
solenoid body PUN.
2. Log into TIS2Web/SPS.
3. Type the vehicle identification number (VIN).
4. Perform the SPS Transmission Control Module programming event.
• Select "Transmission Control Module - Programming" to update TCM calibrations and Solenoid
Characterization data.

OR

• Select "Transmission Control Module - MCVM Operations" to update Solenoid Characterization data
only.
5. From the "MCVM (Mechanical Characterization and Virtual Matching) Operation Selection" screen, select the
applicable service procedure to be performed. You will be prompted to provide the necessary Transmission
Unique Number (TUN) or Part Unique Number (PUN) when replacing a transmission part.

At this point, the system will read the VIN from the engine control module (ECM) using the multiple diagnostic
interface (MDI) and then retrieve the applicable genealogy data tree from the cloud. This data tree accesses the
original characterization data so that it may be updated with the new component information. The system acquires
characterization data for the given TUN/PUN via the cloud and updates the genealogy tree. The TCM is updated
with the correct solenoid characterization data, and the cloud is updated with the new genealogy relationship.

1. Universal Home Remote Malfunction

Circuit/System Description

36 of 79
The universal home remote is a transmitter operating between 288 and 434 MHz. The universal home remote
has three buttons that may be programmed for individual transmitter/receiver combinations to control up to
three garage doors, security gates, lighting systems, etc. Each button represents a unique transmitter code
section, which operates independently of the other buttons, and may be considered a separate transmitter.

Diagnostic Aids

NOTE: This procedure will clear any learned transmitters from the S25 Garage Door
Opener. This will require reprogramming by the customer to reestablish
universal home remote functionality. The vehicle must be with the item being
programmed, for example at the customer's garage. Programming involves
time-sensitive actions, and may time out causing the procedure to be repeated.

To program up to three devices:

1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter for the garage door opener or device being programmed about 3
to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the Universal Remote system buttons with the indicator light in view..

NOTE: Radio signals for some gate operators follow different rules. It may be
necessary to follow the instructions regarding gates at the end of the
second set of three steps.

2.
3. Press and release one of the three Universal Remote system buttons that you would like to program. Press
and hold the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the hand-held transmitter button until the
indicator light changes from a slow to a rapid flashing light or a continuously on light. Then release the
button.
4. Press and hold the newly programmed Universal Remote system button for five seconds while watching
the indicator light and garage door activation.

• If the indicator light stays on continuously or the garage door moves when the button is pressed, then
programming is complete.

NOTE: Radio signals for some gate operators follow different rules. Follow these
instructions.

Some radio-frequency laws and gate operators require transmitter signals to time out or quit after several
seconds of transmission. This may not be long enough for the Universal Remote system to pick up the signal
during programming.

If the programming did not work, replace Step 2 under "Programming the Universal Remote System" with the
following:

Press and hold the Universal Remote system button while pressing and releasing the hand-held transmitter
button every two seconds until the signal has been successfully accepted by the Universal Remote system. The
Universal Remote system indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed with Step 3 under
"Programming the Universal Remote System" to complete.

KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

39 of 79
Circuit/System Description

This procedure should be followed for any system malfunction, Service Keyless Start System message, No
Remote Detected message, or Key Missing Look For Key message that does not have a DTC present. All of the
functions and features of the active and passive keyless entry system, along with the tire pressure monitoring
system are tied together through the use of radio frequency to communicate. Determining which features and
functions of the systems have failed will suggest what the fault could be and therefore the best diagnostic
procedure to follow.

The keyless entry transmitters can only be programmed to one vehicle. They can be programmed more than
once but only to the same VIN. Once a keyless entry transmitter is programmed to a vehicle it cannot be
programmed to a different vehicle but it can be programmed to the same VIN as much as necessary to complete
the diagnostic procedures being followed.

The keyless entry antennas are used as short range low frequency (LF) transmitters. The LF signal is at 125
kHz. High frequencies are also used by the system and they are 315 MHz except for vehicles built to be
certified for use in Japan which are 433 MHz. As a vehicle with locked doors is approached with a keyless entry
transmitter (remote key) and the exterior door handle/rear closure touch pad is pressed, the keyless entry
antenna broadcasts a challenge to the remote key in an approximate one meter range. If the response from the
transmitter via radio frequency (RF) is valid, the locked door will be passively unlocked/unlatched and allow
the door to be opened.

A low transmitter battery may cause a system malfunction. More often a malfunction is the result of radio
frequency (RF) interference from aftermarket devices which could include unexpected items such as nearby flat
screen televisions, darkness sensing flood lights, or nearby cell phones. Other more common items that can
cause a malfunction are 2-way radios, power inverters, cellular phone chargers, wireless cellular phone
chargers, computers, 12 V power outlet USB adapters, etc. High RF traffic areas, such as gas stations which use
pay-at-the-pump RF transponders, may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction.

Diagnostic Aids

The keyless entry antennas must be installed correctly for proper performance. The precise location and
orientation are important for the antenna to have the range and shape of range designed for each antenna
location. There is a possibility that the passive entry system set a false DTC due to the antenna being incorrectly
installed.

Unwanted or inadvertent door lock/unlock activation may be requested by the OnStar® Remote Link app. It is
possible that a customer may be unaware of account usage, resulting in an unwanted or phantom door
lock/unlock. If normal system diagnosis results in an inability to verify the customer's concern, contact
Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

REMOTE VEHICLE START MALFUNCTION


Diagnostic Instructions

• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of each diagnostic approach.
• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

Remote vehicle start begins as a radio frequency message received by the body control module (BCM) from a
keyless entry transmitter. The BCM monitors system conditions such as content theft deterrent, hood ajar status,
and body DTCs to determine if a remote vehicle start event will occur. If conditions are determined to be

50 of 79
acceptable, the remote vehicle start message is sent to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors
system conditions such as engine control parameters and vehicle theft deterrent to determine if engine starting
will be allowed. If conditions are acceptable, the ECM will initiate engine starting. During the engine run time
in a remote vehicle start attempt, before the operator enters the vehicle, the ECM may discontinue engine
operation if system conditions require it or a message is received from the BCM requesting the engine be turned
OFF.

Diagnostic Aids

• Unwanted or inadvertent door lock/unlock activation may be requested by the OnStar® Remote Link
application. It is possible that a customer may be unaware of account usage, resulting in an unwanted or
phantom door lock/unlock. If normal system diagnosis results in an inability to verify the customer's
concern, contact Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
• If the vehicle has a current DTC that illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), the cause of the

REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCK AND THEFT DETERRENT TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING


Programming Transmitters

Transmitters can be programming in various ways using the procedures outlined below. Using the Replacing
Transmitters procedures will first erase all the known transmitters from the vehicle. Any existing transmitters
and any new transmitters will then be programmed. This procedure should be used any time a transmitter is
required to be unlearned or erased from a vehicle. If a new transmitter is being learned to a vehicle to replace a
damaged, inoperative, or stolen transmitter, the Replacing Transmitters procedure must be used. This ensures
that the old transmitter cannot be used to access or start the vehicle after programming.

The Adding Transmitters procedure does not erase any transmitters prior to programming. The procedure will
simply program the transmitter into the next available slot. The Adding Transmitters procedure should only be
used when adding an additional transmitter to the vehicle. The Adding Keys procedure should never be used to
program a transmitter to a vehicle that is having a transmitter replaced, regardless of the cause for the
replacement.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


GARAGE DOOR OPENER DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The garage door opener is fixed and rolling code capable. Rolling code is a system that allows the code that the
customers receiver receives from the garage door opener to change every time the garage door opener is used
within operating range of the receiver. Rolling code programming requires the customer to push a learn/program
button on the garage door opener receiver at their home. This button is usually located on the receiver unit
under a cover (light cover) on one end of the unit. The customer must follow the garage door opener
manufacturers instructions to program/learn the receiver to accept the Universal Home Remote System as an
authorized opener for their unit. When the receiver and the garage door opener are initially programmed
together, a code is established and a new code is created for every new transmission. The software in the
receiver recognizes the garage door opener and accepts the new code.

The garage door opener is compatible with most, but not all types and brands of transmitters.

The garage door opener is a transmitter operating between 288 - 434 MHz. The power and range of the
transmitter is limited to comply with laws governing the generation of radio frequency interference. The
transmitter is programmed by the user to accept the signal generated by the user's transmitters.

The garage door opener has 3 buttons that may be programmed for individual transmitter/receiver combinations
to control up to 3 garage door openers, security gates, lighting systems, etc. Each button represents a transmitter
code section of the transmitter, which operates separately from any other button, and may be considered a
separate transmitter. Operation consists of simply pressing a button to activate the corresponding transmitter.

The garage door opener does not need any programming after it is replaced. However, for the opener function it
must be programmed to the customer's garage door or other devices such as a gate. The programming can only
be performed at the device being programmed, it cannot be programmed at a service facility. Instructions for
programming are listed in the Garage Door Opener Malfunction document in a Diagnostic Aid.

NOTE: Do not use the garage door opener (GDO) with any garage door opener that
does not have the stop and reverse safety feature. This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.

Keyless Entry System Description and Operation

The keyless entry system is a vehicle entry device. The keyless entry system is used in conjunction with the
door locks to unlock the vehicle. Keyless entry will lock/unlock the vehicle doors or open the rear compartment
lid when a corresponding button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed. This is accomplished by the
transmitter sending a radio frequency to the remote control door lock receiver antenna that has a direct link to
the body control module (BCM). The BCM interprets the signal and activates the requested function or requests
the appropriate control module to activate the function via a serial data message. A low transmitter battery or
radio frequency interference from aftermarket devices, such as 2-way radios, power inverters, computers, etc.,
may cause a system malfunction. High radio frequency traffic areas, such as gas stations that use pay-at-the-
pump radio frequency transponders, may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction. Keyless entry
allows you to operate the following features:

• Door lock/unlock
• Liftgate lock/unlock
• Power liftgate, if equipped
• Illuminated entry lamps
• Panic alarm/vehicle locator
• Remote vehicle start

Keyless Entry System Description and Operation - Keyless Start

The keyless start portion of the keyless entry system allows vehicle starting, having only the transmitter as your
key. The keyless start system use low frequency antennas in three different locations on the vehicle to determine
the location of the transmitter. Multiple antennas are used to ensure complete coverage of the vehicle interior
and rear compartment. When using the keyless start system, a programmed transmitter must be in the vehicle's

64 of 79
interior, in the driver's pocket, purse, or briefcase.

When the ignition mode switch is pressed, the low frequency antennas emit a challenge to the keyless entry
transmitter. The transmitter receives this challenge and emits it's response as an RF message, which is received
by the remote control door lock receiver. If the response is correct, vehicle starting will be allowed. If RF
communication is interrupted, a "No Remote Detected" message will be displayed on the DIC. In these cases,
the transmitter can be placed in the transmitter pocket located in the center console. The immobilizer antenna
coil is located directly beneath the transmitter pocket. Placing the transmitter in the pocket will create a low
powered coupling between the transmitter and immobilizer antenna, allowing communications to occur and
enabling vehicle starting.

The keyless entry system has the following components:

• Keyless entry transmitter


• Front console antenna
• Rear console antenna
• Rear compartment antenna
• Body control module (BCM)
• Keyless entry control module
• Immobilizer antenna coil assembly
• Remote control door lock receiver

Keyless Entry Transmitter

The keyless entry transmitters are used to perform various entry functions while away from the immediate area
of the vehicle. Keyless entry functions may work at up to 20 m (65 ft) away from the vehicle. Ambient
conditions may affect the performance of the keyless entry transmitter and reduce the range at which keyless
entry functions operate. Up to eight transmitters may be programmed to a single vehicle.

When pressing the ignition mode switch to change power mode or start the vehicle, a nearby transmitter is
challenged by a passive keyless entry antenna. The transmitter will send an RF response to the remote control
door lock receiver, which communicates with the BCM. The BCM will interpret this communication and if the
transmitter response is valid, allow the vehicle to change power mode or start the vehicle.

Front Console Passive (Instrument Panel) Antenna

This antenna is located in the lower instrument panel near the front of the center console.

The front console antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is pressed, the
antenna is energized or "pinged". This emits a low frequency challenge signal that is received by the keyless
entry transmitter. The transmitter will then reply to this challenge with a response and, if correct, vehicle
starting will occur.

Rear Console Antenna

This antenna is located in the rear of the center console.

The rear console antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is pressed, the
antenna is energized or "pinged". This emits a low frequency challenge signal that is received by the keyless
entry transmitter. The transmitter will then reply to this challenge with a response and, if correct, vehicle
starting will occur.

65 of 79
Rear Compartment Antenna

This antenna is located in the center of the rear compartment metal floor pan, near the seatback.

The rear compartment antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is pressed,
the antenna is energized or "pinged". This emits a low frequency challenge signal that is received by the keyless
entry transmitter. The transmitter will then reply to this challenge with a response and, if correct, vehicle
starting will occur.

Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

The remote control door lock receiver is control by and directly communicates with the body control module
(BCM). When the transmitter receives a low frequency challenge from an antenna, it responds with an RF
message. This RF message is received by the remote control door lock receiver and communicated to the BCM.
If the RF message is a valid response to the low frequency challenge, vehicle starting will be allowed.

Immobilizer Antenna Coil Assembly

The keyless entry immobilizer coil assembly is located in the center console, directly beneath the transmitter
pocket. If the transmitter battery is dead, weak, or the RF signal is being interrupted, the transmitter may be
placed in the pocket to create a low powered coupling between the transmitter and immobilizer antenna,
allowing communications to occur and enabling vehicle starting.

The immobilizer antenna coil is controlled by the BCM. The immobilizer control module is also active when
learning transmitters.

Keyless Entry Control Module

The keyless entry control module is a multi-function module which performs the following keyless entry system
functions:

• Activating vehicle antennas for keyless start functions


• Backup control for the ECM accessory wakeup and the run/crank relay
• Redundant power moding, in addition to the BCM
• Ignition mode switch monitoring

OnStar® Remote Link

A vehicle operator may have the ability to perform some of the keyless entry functions using applications on
personal devices such as smart phones. Refer to OnStar Description and Operation (UI3) , or OnStar
Description and Operation (UE1) .

Body Control Module (BCM)

The BCM is a multi-function module that performs the following functions:

• Receive and authenticate active transmitter and keyless start signals from the remote control door lock
receiver
• Determines the functionality requested by the transmitter signal
• Performs the function requested by the transmitter signal

67 of 79
Remote Vehicle Start/Active

The remote vehicle start function allows engine starting while not in the vehicle. It also allows the vehicle
HVAC system and other vehicle systems to enable, providing a comfortable vehicle upon entry. The HVAC
system will operate in the following possible ways:

• If the vehicle is equipped with a manual HVAC system it will be on and operating in the same way that
the settings were adjusted when the vehicle was last used.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic HVAC system it will operate as necessary to meet the
temperature setting it was left at. If the conditions are such that the system needs AC, rear defrost, or
defrost then those functions will operate. The indicator lights for these functions will not illuminate even
if the features are on.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic HVAC system but the system is in manual mode then it will
operate the same as a manual system equipped vehicle with the HVAC operating however it was adjusted
when the vehicle was last used.

The turn signal lamps will illuminate to indicate the vehicle has received the remote start request. Each time a
remote vehicle start is performed, the vehicle doors are locked, however they may then be unlocked/locked with
the transmitter at any time. Only the first and second vehicle transmitters are able to control the remote vehicle
start function. Any additional remote transmitters programmed to the vehicle will perform all other remote
functions. Once activated, the engine is allowed to run for 10 minutes. The remote vehicle start time may be
extended by an additional 10 minutes by again pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and
holding the remote vehicle start buttons on the transmitter. This feature is called a remote vehicle start continue
and allows a maximum of 20 minutes of engine running. If the remote vehicle start continue is performed at 7
minutes into the initial 10 minute time-out, a total of 17 minutes of engine running would occur. The remote
vehicle start event may be suspended at any time by pressing only the remote vehicle start button on the
transmitter or by entering the vehicle and turning ON the hazard lamps.

In between ignition cycles, only two remote vehicle start events may occur or be attempted. Once two events or
attempts have been made, future remote vehicle start events will be suspended until the vehicle is started using
the ignition.

Enable/Disable Remote Vehicle Start/Active

On some vehicles, remote vehicle start may be enabled or disabled as a part of vehicle personalization by using
the driver information center controls. Refer to the vehicle owners manual for more information.

Hood Ajar Switch/Active

The hood switch provides status of the hood to the BCM for remote vehicle start purposes. The switch is
integrated into the hood latch assembly. The hood ajar switch provides 2 separate inputs to the BCM. These
separate inputs allow the BCM to actively monitor for a hood ajar switch fault.

Remote Vehicle Start Circuit Description/Active

The BCM receives a signal from the keyless entry transmitter indicating a remote vehicle start request. The
BCM uses the following inputs to verify the system is ready for a remote vehicle start event:

• Vehicle is not in valet mode


• Low fuel level indicator is not requested on
• All vehicle doors are closed

68 of 79
• Rear compartment lid is not ajar
• The hood is closed
• The doors are locked
• The hazard switch is OFF
• Battery reconnect has not occurred
• Vehicle power mode is correct

When the BCM determines all conditions meet those required for a remote vehicle start event, a message is sent
via serial data to the ECM. The ECM relies on the remote vehicle start message from the BCM to enable remote
vehicle start when the crank request signal is received. If the ECM does not receive a valid remote vehicle start
message, it will not ground the control circuit of the crank relay and start the engine. While the ECM is in
remote vehicle start mode it will cut fuel to the engine if any of the following additional conditions occur:

• Vehicle speed is greater than 0


• Transmission is not in P
• Excessive engine coolant temperature
• Low oil pressure
• The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is commanded ON
• Engine crank time is greater than 30 seconds
• Excessive engine speed
• Accelerator pedal position too high
• Remote start timer equals 0
• Immobilizer system indicates a theft attempt

Keyless Entry Personalization

Vehicle lock/unlock functions and remote vehicle start settings may be personalized for the vehicle. For
functional descriptions and programming instructions, refer to the vehicle owners manual.

Keyless Entry System Description and Operation - Active

The keyless entry system is a vehicle entry device. The keyless entry system is used in conjunction with the
door locks to unlock the vehicle. Keyless entry will lock/unlock a door or open the rear compartment lid when a
corresponding button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed. This is accomplished by the transmitter
sending a radio frequency to the remote control door lock receiver antenna that has a direct link to the body
control module (BCM). The BCM interprets the signal and activates the requested function or requests the
appropriate ECU to activate the function via a serial data message. A low transmitter battery or radio frequency
interference from aftermarket devices, such as 2-way radios, power inverters, computers, etc., may cause a
system malfunction. High radio frequency traffic areas, such as gas stations that use pay-at-the-pump radio
frequency transponders, may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction. Keyless entry allows you
to operate the following features:

• Door lock/unlock
• Rear compartment lid release
• Illuminated entry lamps
• Panic alarm/vehicle locator
• Remote vehicle start
• Automatic window express down, if equipped. Automatic window express up, if equipped

Keyless Entry System Description and Operation - Passive

Passive keyless entry allows entry to a locked vehicle without pressing any buttons on the keyless entry
transmitter. The passive entry system uses low frequency antennas in several different areas on the vehicle to
determine the location of the transmitter. When passively opening a locked door or the rear compartment, you
must have a programmed transmitter with you in your pocket, purse, or briefcase within a one meter range.

When an exterior door handle button is pressed or the rear compartment touch pad is pressed, the keyless entry
control module activates the low frequency antenna which sends out a challenge to the keyless entry transmitter.
Because of the low frequency, communication range is limited. The antenna will emit the challenge in a one
meter range. The transmitter must be within this range to receive the challenge. The transmitter receives this
challenge and emits it's response as an RF message, which is received by the remote control door lock receiver.
If the response is correct, entry into the vehicle will be allowed.

70 of 79
As a customer convenience feature, the keyless entry system will notify the driver if the transmitter has been
left in the vehicle after exiting by chirping the vehicle horn three times. This may be turned off using vehicle
personalization. Also, if the transmitter is left in the vehicle after the central door lock switch has been used to
lock the vehicle, the driver door will remain unlock after exiting the vehicle. This is intended to prevent locking
the transmitter in the vehicle and being unable to access it.

powered coupling between the transmitter and immobilizer antenna, allowing communications to occur and
enabling vehicle starting.

The keyless entry system has the following components:

• Keyless entry integrated key/transmitter


• Driver and front passenger door antennas (part of the door handle assembly)
• Driver and front passenger door handle switches (part of the door handle assembly)
• Rear fascia antenna
• Front console antenna
• Rear console antenna
• Trunk antenna (rear compartment)
• Body control module (BCM)
• Keyless entry control module
• Immobilizer antenna coil assembly
• Remote control door lock receiver

Keyless Entry Transmitters

By operating any of the exterior door handle buttons, a nearby transmitter is challenged by a keyless entry
antenna. The transmitter will send an RF response to the remote control door lock receiver, which
communicates with the BCM. The BCM will interpret this communication and either allow entry into the
vehicle or deny it. Transmitters programmed as number 1 or 2 will have certain corresponding features on
equipped vehicles. For example transmitter 1 will activate the memory seat associated with that transmitter and
the same for transmitter number 2. On vehicles equipped with approach logo lighting only transmitters 1 and 2
will activate the approach logo lighting.

Door Antennas

71 of 79
The keyless entry door antennas are used to transmit low frequency communications to the keyless entry
transmitters.

The keyless entry door antennas are located in the left front and right front exterior door handle bracket. The
antennas are serviced as part of the door handle assembly. The antennas are controlled by the keyless entry
control module. When the exterior door handle button is pressed, the respective antenna will send out a
challenge to the keyless entry transmitter, which begins the passive entry communications.

Rear Fascia Antenna

The rear fascia antenna is used to transmit low frequency communication to the keyless entry transmitters for
entry to rear compartment.

The rear fascia antenna is located behind the rear fascia. The antenna is controlled by the keyless entry control
module. When the rear compartment touch pad is pressed, the antenna sends out a challenge to the keyless entry
transmitter, which begins the passive entry communications.

Front Console Passive (Instrument Panel) Antenna

This antenna is located in the lower instrument panel near the front of the center console.

The front console antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is pressed, the
antenna is energized or "pinged". This emits a low frequency challenge signal that is received by the keyless
entry transmitter. The transmitter will then reply to this challenge with a response and, if correct, vehicle
starting will occur.

Rear Console Antenna

This antenna is located in the rear of the center console.

The rear console antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is pressed, the
antenna is energized or "pinged". This emits a low frequency challenge signal that is received by the keyless
entry transmitter. The transmitter will then reply to this challenge with a response and, if correct, vehicle
starting will occur.

Rear Compartment Antenna

This antenna is located in the center of the rear compartment metal floor pan, near the seatback.

The rear compartment antenna is used for vehicle starting functions. When the ignition mode switch is pressed,
the antenna is energized or "pinged". This emits a low frequency challenge signal that is received by the keyless
entry transmitter. The transmitter will then reply to this challenge with a response and, if correct, vehicle
starting will occur.

Immobilizer Antenna Coil Assembly

The immobilizer coil assembly is located in the center console, directly beneath the transmitter pocket. If the
transmitter battery is dead, weak, or the RF signal is being interrupted, the transmitter may be placed in the
pocket to create a low powered coupling between the transmitter and immobilizer antenna, allowing
communications to occur and enabling vehicle starting.

The immobilizer antenna coil is controlled by the BCM. The immobilizer control module is also active when
learning vehicle keys.

Remote Vehicle Start/Active

The remote vehicle start function allows engine starting while not in the vehicle. It also allows the vehicle
HVAC system and other vehicle systems to enable, providing a comfortable vehicle upon entry. The HVAC
system will operate in the following possible ways:

• If the vehicle is equipped with a manual HVAC system it will be on and operating in the same way that
the settings were adjusted when the vehicle was last used.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic HVAC system it will operate as necessary to meet the
temperature setting it was left at. If the conditions are such that the system needs AC, rear defrost, or
defrost then those functions will operate. The indicator lights for these functions will not illuminate even
if the features are on.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic HVAC system but the system is in manual mode then it will
operate the same as a manual system equipped vehicle with the HVAC operating however it was adjusted
when the vehicle was last used.

The turn signal lamps will illuminate to indicate the vehicle has received the remote start request. Each time a
remote vehicle start is performed, the vehicle doors are locked, however they may then be unlocked/locked with
the transmitter at any time. Only the first and second vehicle transmitters are able to control the remote vehicle
start function. Any additional remote transmitters programmed to the vehicle will perform all other remote
functions. Once activated, the engine is allowed to run for 10 minutes. The remote vehicle start time may be
extended by an additional 10 minutes by again pressing and releasing the lock button and then pressing and
holding the remote vehicle start buttons on the transmitter. This feature is called a remote vehicle start continue
and allows a maximum of 20 minutes of engine running. If the remote vehicle start continue is performed at 7
minutes into the initial 10 minute time-out, a total of 17 minutes of engine running would occur. The remote
vehicle start event may be suspended at any time by pressing only the remote vehicle start button on the
transmitter or by entering the vehicle and turning ON the hazard lamps.

75 of 79
In between ignition cycles, only two remote vehicle start events may occur or be attempted. Once two events or
attempts have been made, future remote vehicle start events will be suspended until the vehicle is started using
the ignition.

Enable/Disable Remote Vehicle Start/Active

Using the driver information center, remote vehicle start may be enabled or disabled as a part of vehicle
personalization. Refer to the vehicle owners manual for more information.

Hood Ajar Switch/Active

The hood switch provides status of the hood to the BCM for remote vehicle start purposes. The switch is
integrated into the hood latch assembly. The hood ajar switch provides 2 separate inputs to the BCM. These
separate inputs allow the BCM to actively monitor for a hood ajar switch fault.

Remote Vehicle Start Circuit Description/Active

The BCM receives a signal from the keyless entry transmitter indicating a remote vehicle start request. The
BCM uses the following inputs to verify the system is ready for a remote vehicle start event:

• Vehicle is not in valet mode


• Low fuel level indicator is not requested on
• All vehicle doors are closed
• Rear compartment lid is not ajar
• The hood is closed
• The doors are locked
• The hazard switch is OFF
• Battery reconnect has not occurred
• Vehicle power mode is correct

When the BCM determines all conditions meet those required for a remote vehicle start event, a message is sent
via serial data to the ECM. The ECM relies on the remote vehicle start message from the BCM to enable remote
vehicle start when the crank request signal is received. If the ECM does not receive a valid remote vehicle start
message, it will not ground the control circuit of the crank relay and start the engine. While the ECM is in
remote vehicle start mode it will cut fuel to the engine if any of the following additional conditions occur:

• Vehicle speed is greater than 0


• Transmission is not in P
• Excessive engine coolant temperature
• Low oil pressure
• The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is commanded ON
• Engine crank time is greater than 30 seconds
• Excessive engine speed
• Accelerator pedal position too high
• Remote start timer equals 0
• Immobilizer system indicates a theft attempt

76 of 79
Keyless Entry Personalization

Vehicle lock/unlock functions and remote vehicle start settings may be personalized for the vehicle. For some
model years this may include the capability of turning the passive entry system completely off. For functional
descriptions and programming instructions, refer to the vehicle owners manual.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SENSOR AND RF DIAGNOSTIC TOOL DESCRIPTION AND


OPERATION

Radio Frequency Diagnostics

Vehicles use radio frequency, or RF, for two systems - the tire pressure monitoring system and the keyless entry
system. In both systems RF is used to transmit signals to and from components. There is no way to measure or
detect RF signals using traditional tools. To assist in diagnosing these systems the EL-52545 Tire Pressure
Monitor Sensor and RF Diagnostic Tool was introduced. This tool can detect RF signals. This allows for the
verification of component functionality where it was previously impossible.

RDR (Rotate - Diagnose - Relearn)

The RDR process is used anytime the vehicles Tire Pressure Monitoring System or tires are serviced. This
includes tire rotation and any other tire service including a vehicle with the TPMS light on. It ensures that the
TPMS sensors are functioning properly, the correct frequency for the vehicle being serviced, and prevents a
stray sensor from being learned to the vehicle. There is a prompt asking if the vehicle has had a flat tire.
Sometimes a vehicle that had a flat tire might have set a DTC for a TPMS Sensor which could lead to
unnecessary replacement of a sensor. If the vehicle recently experienced a flat tire then the DTC only needs to
be cleared.

RF Signal Detection

The Signal Detect function is used to display the keyless entry transmitter identification including the last eight
digits of the VIN associated with the transmitter, the transmitter ID, and the transmitter part number. It also has
the ability to check the transmitter signal strength and to check the low frequency antennas on the vehicle. This
also includes a function to detect the RF signal used for the Universal Garage Door Opener. The tool will
display the frequency detected along with the strength of the signal. The strength of the signal can vary widely
depending on many factors. Seeing a strength reading that appears low does not necessarily indicate a fault. A
low signal may possibly be indicated if a the same signal is measured in the same manner on an identical
vehicle and is shown to be much higher strength than the vehicle being diagnosed. The signal is sensitive to
even a small distance and orientation of the tool. There is an on screen image reminding you to hold the tool in
the correct position.

Trailer TPMS

The Trailer TPMS feature is used to learn and simulate the Trailer TPM System. The tool can be used without
the trailer present when the EL-52641 Trailer Presence Simulator Tester is used.

Tire Tread

The tool can measure tire tread depth to provide a more accurate measurement.

Service

The tool works with the available software to record service activity for the vehicle.

77 of 79
History

The tool provides a history of the vehicle.

Settings

Circuit/System Description

The driver and passenger heated seats switches are located on the center stack near the HVAC controls. When a
heated seat switch is pressed, a serial data message is sent from the switch to the body control module (BCM)
indicating the heated seat command. The BCM serves as the heated seat system master to determine the

8 of 62
requested operating mode. The BCM then sends a LIN bus serial data message to the seat heating control
module indicating the heated seat command. In response to this message, the seat heating control module
attempts to drive the appropriate seat heating elements per the BCM command. The BCM also controls the seat
temperature and mode indicators, via the serial data line, used to provide the operator with feedback as to the
operating status of the system.

The seat heating control module controls heated seat operation for the driver and passenger seats. When active,
power is applied to the seat cushion and back heater elements through a common pulse width modulated
(PWM) voltage supply control circuit. Each individual heater element is switched to ground by the module
through a common low side drive control circuit.

The seat back and cushion temperature sensors (thermistors) are packaged with the seat heating elements
located just under the seat covers. The seat heating control module supplies each temperature sensor with a 5 V
reference signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The module monitors the voltage from the signal circuit to
determine the temperature of the seat.

The temperature sensor varies in resistance based on the temperature of the heating element causing the signal
voltage to change. Once the module senses the seat reached the set temperature, it will then begin regulate the
current flow through the heater elements in order to maintain the desired seat temperature based on the feedback
voltage from the sensor.

Diagnostic Aids

• A short to ground or B+ in either the heating element voltage control circuit or ground control circuit will
cause both the driver and front passenger heated seats to be inoperative.
• An open in either the voltage control circuit or ground control circuit between the module and the splice
will cause the seat cushion and seat back the heated seat function to be inoperative for that seat.
• A short to ground on either the seat cushion or seat back temperature sensor signal circuit will cause the
heated seat function to be inoperative for that seat.
• An open in either the voltage control circuit or ground control circuit between the splice and the heating
element will cause just that one heating element to be inoperative.
• The following faults will cause a degraded heated seat operation for both the seat back and seat cushion.
An open or a short to voltage on either the seat cushion or seat back temperature sensor signal
circuit.
An open in either the seat cushion or seat back temperature sensor low reference circuit.
A fault in either the seat cushion or seat back temperature sensor.
• A broken wire in a heating element may cause a degraded heated seat operation for that particular heating
element.
• When inactive the seat heating control module connects the heating element low side outputs to a
common reference point internal to the module which is biased to approximately 3.5 V. The module uses
this biased voltage in order to check the high side and low side control circuits for a short to battery or
ground before enabling the driver and passenger seat heating elements.
• With both the seat cushion and seat back heater elements disconnected, if the high side output of the
module is measured it will display a low current 12 V bleed off voltage. This bleed off voltage does not
have a meaningful diagnostic purpose. With one or both of the heater elements connected you would just
see the 3.5 V biased voltage from this circuit.
• If the heated seats are on high, the temperature level may automatically be lowered after approximately
30 min of operation.

Circuit/System Description

The driver and passenger heated seat switches are located on the center stack near the HVAC controls. When a
heated seat switch is pressed, a serial data message is sent from the switch to the body control module (BCM)
indicating the heated seat command. The BCM serves as the heated seat system master to determine the
requested operating mode. The BCM then sends a LIN bus serial data message to the seat heating control
module indicating the heated seat command. In response to this message, the seat heating control module
attempts to drive the appropriate seat heating elements per the BCM command. The BCM also controls the seat
temperature and mode indicators, via the serial data line, used to provide the operator with feedback as to the
operating status of the system.

The seat heating control module controls heated seat operation for the driver and passenger seats. When active,
power is applied to the seat cushion and back heater elements through a common pulse width modulated
(PWM) voltage supply control circuit. Each individual heater element is switched to ground by the module
through a common low side drive control circuit.

The seat back and cushion temperature sensors (thermistors) are packaged with the seat heating elements
located just under the seat covers. The seat heating control module supplies each temperature sensor with a 5 V
reference signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The module monitors the voltage from the signal circuit to
determine the temperature of the seat.

18 of 62
The temperature sensor varies in resistance based on the temperature of the heating element causing the signal
voltage to change. Once the module senses the seat reached the set temperature, it will then begin regulate the
current flow through the heater elements in order to maintain the desired seat temperature based on the feedback
voltage from the sensor.

Diagnostic Aids

• A short to ground or B+ in either the heating element voltage control circuit or ground control circuit will
cause both the driver and passenger heated seats to be inoperative.
• An open in the ground control circuit between the module and the splice will cause the seat cushion and
seat back the heated seat function to be inoperative for that seat.
• An open in the ground control circuit between the splice and the heating element will cause just that one
heating element to be inoperative.
• The following faults will cause a degraded heated seat operation for a particular heating element.
An open or a short to ground on the temperature sensor signal circuit.
An open in either the seat cushion or seat back temperature sensor signal or low reference circuit.
A fault in the temperature sensor.
• A short to B+ on a temperature sensor signal circuit may cause a degraded heated seat operation for both
the seat back and seat cushion or just one heating element.
• A broken wire in a heating element may cause a degraded heated seat operation for that particular heating
element.
• When inactive the seat heating control module connects the heating element low side outputs to a
common reference point internal to the module which is biased to approximately 3.5 V. The module uses
this biased voltage in order to check the high side and low side control circuits for a short to battery or
ground before enabling the driver and passenger seat heating elements.
• With both the seat cushion and seat back heater elements disconnected, if the high side output of the
module is measured it will display a low current 12 V bleed off voltage. This bleed off voltage does not
have a meaningful diagnostic purpose. With one or both of the heater elements connected you would just
see the 3.5 V biased voltage from this circuit.
• If the heated seats are on high, the temperature level may automatically be lowered after approximately
30 min of operation.

Circuit/System Description

The left and right rear heated seats switches are located with the auxiliary HVAC controls. When a heated seat
switch is pressed, a serial data message is sent from the auxiliary HVAC controls to the body control module
(BCM) indicating the rear heated seat command. The BCM serves as the heated seat system master to determine
the requested operating mode. The BCM then sends a LIN bus serial data message to the rear seat heating
control module indicating the heated seat command. In response to this message, the rear seat heating control
module attempts to drive the appropriate seat heating elements per the BCM command. The BCM also controls
the seat temperature and mode indicators, via the serial data line, used to provide the operator with feedback as

27 of 62
to the operating status of the system.

The rear seat heating control module controls heated seat operation for the left and right rear seats. When active,
power is applied to the seat cushion heater element through a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage supply
control circuit. The heater element is switched to ground by the module through a low side drive control circuit.

The seat cushion temperature sensor (thermistor) is packaged with the seat heating element located just under
the seat cover. The rear seat heating control module supplies the temperature sensor with a 5 V reference signal
circuit and a low reference circuit. The module monitors the voltage from the signal circuit to determine the
temperature of the seat.

The temperature sensor varies in resistance based on the temperature of the heating element causing the signal
voltage to change. Once the module senses the seat reached the set temperature, it will then begin regulate the
current flow through the heater elements in order to maintain the desired seat temperature based on the feedback
voltage from the sensor.

Diagnostic Aids

• A short to ground or B+ in either the heating element voltage control circuit or ground control circuit will
cause both rear heated seats to be inoperative.
• A short to ground on the seat cushion temperature sensor signal circuit will cause the heated seat function
to be inoperative for that seat.
• The following faults will cause a degraded heated seat operation for both the seat back and seat cushion.
An open or a short to voltage on the seat cushion temperature sensor signal circuit.
An open in the seat cushion temperature sensor low reference circuit.
A fault in the seat cushion temperature sensor.
• A broken wire in a heating element may cause a degraded heated seat operation for that particular heating
element.
• When inactive the seat heating control module connects the heating element low side outputs to a
common reference point internal to the module which is biased to approximately 3.5 V. The module uses
this biased voltage in order to check the high side and low side control circuits for a short to battery or
ground before enabling the left and right rear seat heating elements.
• With the seat cushion heater element disconnected, if the high side output of the control module is
measured it will display a low current 12 V bleed off voltage. This bleed off voltage does not have a
meaningful diagnostic purpose. With the heater elements connected you would just see the 3.5 V biased
voltage from this circuit.
• If the heated seats are on high, the temperature level may automatically be lowered after approximately
30 min of operation.

Circuit/System Description

The driver and front passenger vented seats switches are located on the center stack near the HVAC controls.
When a vented seat switch is pressed, a serial data message is sent from the HVAC controls to the body control
module (BCM) indicating the vented seat command. The BCM serves as the heated and vented seat system
master to determine the requested operating mode. The BCM then sends a serial data message to the seat
heating control module indicating the vented seat command. In response to this message, the seat heating
control module applies a low side pulse width modulation (PWM) signal through the seat blower motor control
circuit to the seat cushion and seat back blower motors indicating the vented seat command. The logic in the
blower motors set the blower speed to the switch set point.

integrity and personal safety, never attempt to repair any high voltage wiring,
cables, or terminals. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may
result in serious injury or death.

NOTE: If the wiring harness internal to the transmission is damaged, the wiring
harness must be replaced. The use of splice sleeves in an attempt to repair the
internal transmission wires, connectors, or terminals could result in
performance issues.

NOTE: Do not splice wires in Door Harness Grommets.

NOTE: • Use only DuraSeal splice sleeves. Other splice sleeves may not protect the
splice from moisture or provide a good electrical connection.
• When performing wire-to-wire repairs with wires of different sizes
(Example: installation of Terminated Leads or Pigtails), refer to the Folded-
Over Wire Selection Table Refer to: Folded-Over Wire Repair

Use DuraSeal splice sleeves to form a one-to-one splice on all types of insulation except high voltage and

NOTE: You must perform the following procedures in the listed order. Repeat the

38 of 62
procedure if any wire strands are damaged. You must obtain a clean strip
with all of the wire strands intact.

1. Open the harness by removing any tape:


• Use a sewing seam ripper, available from sewing supply stores, in order to cut open the harness in
order to avoid wire insulation damage.
• Use the DuraSeal splice sleeves on all types of insulation except Tefzel and coaxial.
• Do not use the crimp and DuraSeal splice sleeve to form a splice with more than 2 wires coming
together.
2. Cut as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire in order to change the
location of a splice.

Adjust splice locations so that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from the other splices, harness
branches, or connectors.

3. Strip the insulation:


• When adding a length of wire to the existing harness, use the same size wire as the original wire.
• Perform one of the following items in order to find the correct wire size:
Find the wire on the schematic and convert to regional wiring gauge size.
If you are unsure of the wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and
work down until achieving a clean strip of the insulation.
• Strip approximately 5.0 mm (0.20 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
• Do not nick or cut any of the strands. Inspect the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
• If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
4. For high temperature wiring 150°C (302°F) continuous or 175°C (347°F) excursion, use high
temperature heat shrink tube (Raychem SCT1) over the DuraSeal splice area. Refer to High Temperature
Wiring Repairs below.
5. Select the proper DuraSeal splice sleeve according to the wire size. Refer to the table above, at the
beginning of the repair procedure for the color coding of the DuraSeal splice sleeves and the crimp tool
nests.

5.

Tape the excess terminated lead(s) back into the harness. The tape should cover the harness by 25 mm (1
Inch). Use care to make sure the taping does not cause strain on the wiring and terminals, Improper taping
can cause wire and terminal fretting.

High Temperature Wiring Repairs

Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:

NOTE: All wiring repairs need to be 200 mm from the heat zone. Areas of consideration
would be any area located near the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter,
exhaust pipes, and turbocharged engines.

Items Required

• DuraSeal splice sleeves to crimp and seal connections


• High temperature heat shrink tubing (Raychem SCT1) to protect the splice sleeves
• Terminated leads or pigtails
• The correct tools to remove the terminals from the connectors

NOTE: Use high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous
temperature of the same or larger gauge size as the original wire when repair
damage wire. Also replace any reflective tape that you remove during the repair.

Wiring that is exposed to high temperatures 150°C (302°F) continuous or 175°C (347°F) excursion for
prolonged periods of time may use materials i.e. wires, connectors, and shielding that has a higher heat rating

45 of 62
than typical wiring. When making a repair in a high temperature area observe the following:

Wire to Wire Repair Incl High Temp

• Use GM approved high temperature bulk wire rated at 150°C (302°F) continuous temperature to
replace any damaged wire.
• Replace any heat shielding that is removed.
• Cover any DuraSeal splice sleeves with high temperature heat shrink tubing (Raychem SCT1).
• After making a wiring repair, ensure that the location of the wiring is not moved closer to the heat source.

CONNECTOR RECONNECTION - SEATS

Special Tools

EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .

When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be intermittent. An
intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the symptom cannot be duplicated.
Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of causing the condition before trying to locate an
intermittent condition.

Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following
items:

• Loose, corroded, or painted terminal stud/fastener


• Wiring broken inside the insulation
• Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
• A terminal not seated all the way into the connector body
• Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps,
poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion in the wire
to terminal contact area, etc.
• Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The conductor
can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire
in the suspect circuits.
• Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent open or
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
• Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order
to verify the customer concern.
• Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high
resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
• Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder
operation.

Testing for Terminal Fretting

46 of 62
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is a build-up
of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between electrical contacts. The
oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that the electrical resistance across the
connection increases. Movement between the contacting surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause
fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and
hard to see. Vibration and thermal expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since
vehicles vibrate and can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin,
copper, nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult to
see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.

To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add dielectric grease/lubricant (Nyogel
760G or equivalent, meeting GM specification 12345579) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then
reconnect the connector and wipe away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact
resistance due to the terminal fretting corrosion.

Testing for Proper Terminal Contact

It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect
component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between
the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation.

Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged
connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause
contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion,
causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.

Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always
use the EL-35616 kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining
the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the
female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.

Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers

It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses and relays in
a bussed electrical center. Use the EL-35616 kit to test for proper terminal contact. Failure to use the EL-35616
kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.

Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:

1. Separate the connector halves.


2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green
build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance,
intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of
contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly different
between a known good terminal and the suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.

Flat Wire Connectors

There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side.

47 of 62
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:

1. Remove the component in question.


2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the
connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other
imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to
ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter into the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question.

Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds

Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.

• Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying voltage to
a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply circuits that may
also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors, fuses, and any
intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component. A test lamp or a DMM
may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current.
Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing
, and Power Distribution Wiring Schematics .
• Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple ground
circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need to be tested.
Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point (screw or stud). Inspect the
connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to test the
ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing , and Ground Distribution
Wiring Schematics .

Temperature Sensitivity

• An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating


temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when the
component/connection is hot.
• Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type of
intermittent condition, where applicable.
• If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
High ambient temperatures
Underhood/engine generated heat
Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
• If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or
component. Inspect for water intrusion.
The condition only occurs on a cold start.
The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
• Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is temperature

48 of 62
related.
• If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the condition.
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required.

Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise

Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference or other types of electrical
noise. Inspect for the following conditions:

• A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary ignition
components, motors, generator etc. - These components may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could
interfere with normal circuit operation.
• Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven solenoid or
switch - These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will occur when the
malfunctioning component is operating.
• Installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way radios, amplifiers,
electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc. - These accessories may create
interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would disappear when the accessory is
not operating. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories .
• Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays may
contain a clamping diode.
• The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.

Incorrect Control Module

• There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
A new service control module is installed.
A control module from another vehicle is installed.
Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.

NOTE: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME


software/calibration files that are already present in the control module.
This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.

• Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming is
found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to Control
Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


HEATED/VENTED SEAT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Heated Seat Components

The heated/vented seat system consists of the following components:

• Heated and vented seat switches


• Body control module
• Seat heating control module
• Seat cushion heating element
• Seat cushion temperature sensor
• Seat back heating element
• Seat back temperature sensor
• Seat cushion blower motor
• Seat back blower motor

Heated/Vented Seat Switches

The driver and passenger heated and vented seat switches are located on the center stack near the HVAC
controls. The BCM is the heated and vented seat system master. It monitors heated/vented seat switch
activations to determine user requested operating mode. Based on the requested operating mode, the BCM
sends a LIN Bus serial data message to the front seat heating control module how to drive the self-regulated
heating pads or ventilation motors. The BCM also controls the indicators used to provide the operator with
feedback as to the operating status of the system. With each press of the switch, the system will cycle through
High, Medium, Low, and then back to Off again. The BCM also controls the seat temperature and mode
indicators, via the serial data line, used to provide the operator with feedback as to the operating status of the
system.

Heated Seat Operation

The seat heating control module controls heated seat operation for the driver and passenger seats. When active,
power is applied to the seat cushion and back heater elements through a common pulse width modulated
(PWM) voltage supply control circuit. Each individual heater element is switched to ground by the module
through a common low side drive control circuit.

When inactive the seat heating control module connects the heating element low side outputs to a common
reference point internal to the module which is biased to approximately 3.5 V. The module uses this biased
voltage in order to check the high side and low side control circuits for a short to battery or ground before
enabling the driver and passenger seat heating elements. During heated seat operation, the seat heating control
module interrupts control of the heating elements every 10 s for approximately 10 ms to make this biased
voltage check.

With both the seat cushion and seat back heater elements disconnected, if the high side output of the module is
measured it will display a low current 12 V bleed off voltage. This bleed off voltage does not have a meaningful
diagnostic purpose. With one or both of the heater elements connected you would just see the 3.5 V biased

60 of 62
voltage from this circuit.

Temperature Regulation

The seat back and cushion temperature sensors (thermistors) are packaged with the seat heating elements
located just under the seat covers. The seat heating control module supplies each temperature sensor with a 5 V
reference signal circuit and a low reference circuit. The module monitors the voltage from the signal circuit to
determine the temperature of the seat.

The temperature sensor varies in resistance based on the temperature of the heating element causing the signal
voltage to change. Once the module senses the seat reached the set temperature, it will then begin regulate the
current flow through the heater elements in order to maintain the desired seat temperature based on the feedback
voltage from the sensor.

If the heated seats are on high, the temperature level may automatically be lowered after approximately 30 min
of operation.

Front Vented Seat Operation

Each vented seat consists of 2 blower motors blower motors; one in the seat back and one in the seat cushion.
During vented seat operation, the vented seat blower motors move cabin air through channels in the foam pad
and small holes in the seat covers causing a cooling effect to the occupant.

With the ignition ON, battery voltage from the ignition main relay is applied through a 10 A fuse located in the
rear body fuse block to the seat cushion and seat back blower motors. Ground for each blower motor is provided
through separate ground circuits and a common ground connection.

When the seat heating control module receives a ventilation seat command, it sends a low side drive pulse width
modulation (PWM) signal through the blower motor control circuit to the seat back and cushion blower motors
indicating the seat ventilation command. The logic in the blower motors sets the blower speed to the switch set
point. The blower motors run causing a cooling effect to the occupant.

Heated and Cooled Seat Operation During Remote Start

Refer to Vehicle Personalization in the Owner's Manual for Remote Start Auto Heated and Ventilation Seats.

During remote start, the heated seats will turn ON when the ambient temperature is below 10°C (50°F).

During remote start, the seat ventilation system will turn ON when the ambient temperature is above 27°C
(80°F).

Load Shed Management

The electrical power management function is designed to monitor the vehicle electrical load and determine
when the battery is potentially in a high discharge condition. The heated seat system is one of the vehicle loads
that is subject to reduction during a battery discharge condition. For more information on load management
refer to Electrical Power Management Description and Operation .

REAR HEATED SEATS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


Heated Seat Components

The rear heated seat system consists of the following components:

61 of 62
• Rear heated seat switches
• Body control module
• Rear seat heating control module
• Seat cushion heating element
• Seat cushion temperature sensor

Heated Seat Switches

When a heated seat switch is pressed, a serial data message is sent from the rear seat audio controls to the body
control module (BCM) indicating the rear heated seat command. The BCM serves as the heated seat system
master to determine the requested operating mode. The BCM then sends a LIN bus serial data message to the
rear seat heating control module indicating the heated seat command. In response to this message, the rear seat
heating control module attempts to drive the appropriate seat heating elements per the BCM command. The
BCM also controls the seat temperature and mode indicators, via the serial data line, used to provide the
operator with feedback as to the operating status of the system.

Rear Heated Seat Operation

The rear seat heating control module controls heated seat operation for the left and right rear seats. When active,
power is applied to the seat cushion heater element through a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage supply
control circuit. The heater element is switched to ground by the module through a low side drive control circuit.

Temperature Regulation

The seat cushion temperature sensor (thermistor) is packaged with the seat heating element located just under
the seat cover. The rear seat heating control module supplies the temperature sensor with a 5 V reference signal
circuit and a low reference circuit. The module monitors the voltage from the signal circuit to determine the
temperature of the seat.

The temperature sensor varies in resistance based on the temperature of the heating element causing the signal
voltage to change. Once the module senses the seat reached the set temperature, it will then begin regulate the
current flow through the heater elements in order to maintain the desired seat temperature based on the feedback
voltage from the sensor.

If the heated seats are on high, the temperature level may automatically be lowered after approximately 30 min
of operation.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


DRIVE MODE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

24 of 26
The drive mode system is a customer configurable control that allows the vehicle operator to tailor the vehicle
operation and driveability parameters based on driving conditions. The drive mode is controlled by the vehicle
operator through the Drive Mode Select Switch. The Drive Mode Select Switch is a momentary rotary knob
with two internal switches and up to four LED indicators. Rotating the knob left or right will change to the next
drive mode and the corresponding drive mode indicator on the switch will illuminate.

The Drive Mode Select Switch is an input to the Engine Control Module. When the knob is rotated, the Engine
Control Module will broadcast a message to all modules indicating the requested drive mode. Control modules
that are involved in changing their operation based on differing drive modes will then change their operating
values. The Body Control Module will illuminate the appropriate drive mode indicator on the Drive Mode
Select Switch.

The components of the drive mode are:

• Drive Mode Select Switch


• Engine Control Module
• Body Control Module

Other control modules or components that may respond to the commanded drive mode are:

• Electronic Brake Control Module


• Power Steering Control Module
• Rear Differential Clutch Control Module
• Transmission Control Module

Drive Mode Select Switch

The Drive Mode Select Switch is a momentary rotary knob with two switches and up to four indicators. At rest,
the Drive Mode Select Switch remains in a neutral position with both switches open. When rotated to the left or
right, the corresponding switch is closed. When released, the rotary knob returns to the neutral position and both
switch will again be open. The two switches are situated within a resistor ladder. The Engine Control Module
applies 5 volts to the resistor ladder, which also receives a constant ground. The Engine Control Module
monitors the signal voltage. The signal voltage is measured within the resistor ladder. As each switch is closed,
current flows through a different number of resistors, changing the voltage drop across the resistors and
changing the voltage monitored by the Engine Control Module.

Engine Control Module

The Engine Control Module monitors the Drive Mode Select Switch as an input. The Engine Control Module
applies 5 volts to the switch resistor ladder and monitors the signal voltage from the switch. As the switch is
rotated to the left or right, current flows through different resistors and the voltage monitored at the Engine
Control Module also changes. The Engine Control Module uses this voltage change to determine if the rotary
knob is in the at rest position or has been turned left/right. The Engine Control Module will change the drive
mode based on this input.

When a drive mode change is requested by the drive through the Drive Mode Select Switch, the Engine Control
Module will broadcast a message to all modules indicating the requested drive mode. Control modules that are
involved in changing their operation based on differing drive modes will then change their operating values.
The Engine Control Module may also change operating values based on the drive mode, such as a more or less
aggressive throttle profile.

25 of 26
Body Control Module

The Body Control Module responds to the selected drive mode by illuminating the appropriate drive mode
indicator on the Drive Mode Select Switch. All indicators receive voltage via an indicator control circuit from a
PWM high side driver in the Body Control Module. Ground to each indicator is individually controlled by a
Body Control Module low side driver via a control circuit. For the selected drive mode, the Body Control
Module will ground the appropriate control circuit and the indicator will illuminate.

STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The steering wheel control switches duplicate the function of the primary controls of the associated component.
The Steering Wheel Controls are divided into a right-hand set and left-hand set. The right hand switch,
depending on vehicle options, is connected to the BCM or to the IPC through a LIN serial data circuit and
provides hardwired serial data input from the left hand switches. The IPC identifies the switch selected and
sends a serial data message to the component controlled by the switch, activating the feature.

This section is intended to diagnose the circuits between the IPC and the steering wheel control switches. If the
primary control for the device is inoperative, refer to the appropriate section for the component the steering
wheel control switch is used for.

Circuit/System Description

5 of 24
The content theft deterrent system is a software based system in which the body control module (BCM) actively
monitors certain inputs to determine if unauthorized vehicle access is being attempted. Based on inputs such as
the door ajar switches, the rear compartment ajar switch, the intrusion/inclination sensor, and the hood ajar
switch, the BCM determines whether a content theft deterrent alarm is warranted. If unauthorized access is
being detected, the BCM will sound the power sounder and flash the exterior lamps as a means of theft
deterrence.

Diagnostic Aids

The scan tool Content Theft Deterrent Trigger History 1, 2, and 3 parameters can be used to help isolate an
intermittent unwanted content theft deterrent alarm. These parameters are a rolling history of the previous three
causes of a theft deterrent alarm. If all three parameters are indicating the same alarm trigger, the indicated input
should be the starting point when diagnosing an intermittent concern.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


THEFT SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

When armed, the content theft deterrent system is designed to deter vehicle content theft by pulsing the horns
and exterior lamps for approximately 30 seconds when an unauthorized vehicle entry is detected. However, the
content theft deterrent system does not affect engine starting.

An unauthorized entry can be any of the following with the content theft deterrent system armed:

• Unauthorized entry into the underhood area


• Unauthorized entry into the rear compartment
• When any door is opened without using the UNLOCK command from a keyless entry transmitter
• After a battery reconnect, if the battery was disconnected with the content theft deterrent system armed

The components of the content theft deterrent system are:

• Body Control Module (BCM)


• Keyless entry control module
• Remote control door lock receiver
• Security indicator
• Door ajar switches
• Liftgate ajar switch
• Hood ajar switch
• Intrusion sensor (RPO UA2 or UTC)
• Intrusion sensor disable switch (RPO UA2 or UTC)
• Glass breakage sensor (RPO UA2, UTC, or UTT)
• Alarm siren (RPO UA2 or UTC)

Arming the Content Theft Deterrent System

Use the following procedure in order to arm the system:

1. Place the shift lever in P (park).


2. Turn OFF the ignition.
3. Open any door.

NOTE: The system is not armed if the doors are locked manually; the power door
lock switch or remote keyless entry transmitter must be used to arm the
content theft deterrent system.

4. Lock the doors with the power door lock switch or by pressing the LOCK button on the transmitter. The
system is in standby mode and will not start the arming timer until all doors are closed.
5. The system will begin the arm sequence immediately after the last door is closed. If the keyless entry
transmitter is used to arm the system after the vehicle doors are closed, the arm sequence will begin as

21 of 24
soon as the LOCK command is received from the transmitter.
6. Pressing the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter a second time will bypass the delayed arming
function and force the system to arm.

Locking the Vehicle Without Arming the Content Theft Deterrent System

Locking the vehicle may be accomplished without arming the content theft deterrent system. Use of the manual
door locks will lock the vehicle, but will not arm the content theft deterrent system.

Disarming an Armed System/Silencing an Alarm

If system arming has been requested by the power door lock switch or the keyless entry transmitter, it must be
disarmed.

NOTE: Disconnecting the battery or removing fuses does not disable the arm or alarm
modes, since the BCM stores the content theft deterrent mode status in
memory.

• To disarm the content theft deterrent system in standby mode, perform one of the following:
Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
Approach the vehicle with a valid keyless entry transmitter and pull the vehicle door handle (RPO
ATH).
Insert a valid key into the ignition and switch to the ON position.
• To disarm the content theft deterrent system in the armed mode (non-event) or when activated (during an
alarm event):
Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter.
Insert a valid key into the ignition and switch to the ON position

Content Theft Deterrent Circuit Description

The following is a description of each component used in the content theft deterrent system:

Body Control Module

The content theft deterrent system is an internal function of the BCM which utilizes serial data and various
switch inputs information to perform content theft deterrent functions. When the BCM detects an unauthorized
entry, it activates the horns and exterior lamps. The BCM has 4 basic modes (disarmed, standby, armed, and
alarm) for operating the content theft deterrent system. The different modes are described below.

1. The BCM has the content theft deterrent system in a disarmed mode until the following conditions are
detected:
• Ignition key turned to the OFF position.
• Doors locked by either the power door lock switch or the LOCK button on the transmitter.
2. The BCM enters the standby mode when the above conditions are detected. If a door was already opened
when the arm mode was requested, the standby mode does not start the timer until the last door is closed.
3. When the last door is closed, a 15 second timer is activated. Once the timer has expired, the BCM enters
the armed mode. After this delay, any unauthorized entry will activate the alarm mode.
4. When the BCM detects an unauthorized entry, the BCM enters the alarm mode. The BCM activates the
horns and exterior lamps for 30 seconds. This is followed by a three minute time-out with the horn no

22 of 24
longer active. If no new intrusions are detected after the time-out, the horn is not active. The system must
be disarmed or the intrusion condition removed after the time-out for the system to exit alarm mode.

Keyless Entry Control Module

The passive keyless entry system can arm and disarm the content theft deterrent system. When a valid keyless
entry transmitter is detected while attempting to passively access the vehicle, the keyless entry module will send
a message via serial data to disarm the content theft deterrent system.

Remote Control Door Lock Receiver

The keyless entry system can arm and disarm the content theft deterrent system. When the remote control door
lock receiver receives a door lock or unlock signal from the transmitter, the remote control door lock receiver
sends a message to the BCM via serial data to perform the appropriate arm/disarm functions.

Security Indicator

The security LED is illuminated on the upper I/P by the BCM. The content theft deterrent system uses the
security LED to inform the driver of system status prior to arming.

Door Ajar Switches

The content theft deterrent system uses the door ajar switches as a status indicator to activate the alarm. The
door ajar switches are monitored by the body control module via a discrete input from each door ajar switch. If
the BCM receives a signal indicating a door is opened when the content theft deterrent system is armed, the
BCM activates the alarm.

Hood Ajar Switch

The content theft deterrent system uses the hood ajar switch as a status indicator to activate the alarm. The BCM
monitors the hood ajar switch via a discrete input from the switch. If the BCM receives a signal indicating the
hood has been opened when the content theft deterrent system is armed, the BCM activates the alarm.

Liftgate Ajar Switch

The content theft deterrent system uses the liftgate ajar switch as a status indicator to activate the alarm. The
BCM monitors the liftgate ajar switch via a discrete input from the switch. If the BCM receives a signal
indicating the liftgate has been opened when content theft deterrent system is armed, the BCM activates the
alarm.

Intrusion Sensor (RPO UA2 and UTC)

The intrusion sensor is located in the overhead console and uses two ultrasonic sensors to detect any motion
inside the vehicle. If motion is detected inside the vehicle while the content theft deterrent system is armed, the
system will transition to the alarm mode. The intrusion sensor also acts as an inclination sensor. The inclination
sensor determines the vehicles level when the content theft deterrent system is armed. If the vehicle level is
changed while the system is armed, such as being lifted by a tow truck or raised with a jack, the alarm will be
activated. The intrusion sensor can be disabled using the intrusion sensor disable switch. The intrusion sensor
disable switch also shows the intrusion sensor status using a status LED.

Glass Breakage Sensor (RPO UA2, UTC, and UTT)

The glass breakage sensors are located on the rear side windows and are supplied B+ at all times. The BCM

23 of 24
monitors the glass breakage sensor signal circuit. If the rear side glass is broken, the glass breakage sensor
signal circuit will open and the BCM will enter the alarm mode.

Alarm Siren (RPO UA2 and UTC)

The content theft deterrent system uses the alarm siren as an audible alert device to alert individuals near the
vehicle that a vehicle intrusion is occurring. The siren is supplied power and ground for operation and
communicates with the body control module (BCM) via a dedicated LAN circuit.

Inputs

The BCM monitors the following inputs for content theft deterrent:

• Door ajar switches


• Keyless entry transmitter LOCK/UNLOCK buttons; a message from the remote control door lock
receiver
• Immobilizer status - The BCM uses the immobilizer status for disarming the system or silencing an alarm
when the correct vehicle key is used to start the vehicle
• Liftgate ajar switch
• Hood ajar switch
• Intrusion sensor (RPO UA2 and UTC)
• Glass breakage sensor (RPO UA2, UTC, and UTT)

Outputs

The BCM controls the following for content theft deterrent:

• Horn relay
• Exterior lamps
• Alarm siren (RPO UA2 and UTC)

then remains illuminated after the ignition switch is cycled ON and the IPC bulb check is complete.
• If equipped, the DIC displays a service tire monitor type message and dashes will only appear for the particular
corner that triggered the failure.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

A valid transmission is received from the faulty corner.

A history DTC will clear after 40 ignition cycles.

Diagnostic Aids

• Some aftermarket wheel valve stem holes are located further away from the wheel rim than on original
equipment wheels. When using the tire pressure monitor tool to activate a sensor, ensure the tool is placed
along the tire sidewall close to the sensor and not on the rim.
• If a sensor is not recognized, it may help to rotate the wheel so that the sensor is in a different position relative
to the vehicle.
• A sensor may have been damaged by a previous wheel/tire service or flat tire event
• Occasionally sensor transmissions are not received by the control module due to radio interference from
internal (aftermarket ignition systems, DVD players, CB radios, traffic video cameras, or metallic type
window tinting) or external RF sources.
• Before a defective sensor is replaced, execute the learn procedure for all sensors to make sure the DTC was set
for the correct position on the vehicle. The wheels may have been exchanged before without learning the new
positions.
• Aftermarket wheel valve stem locations can cause a sensor to not function correctly.
• The use of tire sealants can obstruct the sensor pressure sensing port and cause inaccurate tire pressure
readings. If this condition is verified, remove the sealer from the tire and replace the sensor. Refer to: Tire
Pressure Indicator Sensor Replacement
• The sensor activation procedure may have to be repeated up to 3 times before determining a sensor is
malfunctioning. In the event a particular sensor is not learned and the horn does not chirp, it may be necessary
to rotate the wheel to a different position due to the RF signal being blocked by another component.
• Occasionally, sensors can become mislocated due to previous tire rotations where the sensor learn procedure
was not performed. Always learn the sensors to ensure the DTC set is for that actual physical corner of the
vehicle. Perform the following learn procedure: Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn.

With Available EL-52545 Tool

Perform the following learn procedure: Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn.

4 of 20
Without Available EL-52545 Tool

1. Verify there are no other DTCs set, except for DTC C0750, C0755, C0760 or C0765
If any other DTCs are set

Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .

Go to next step: If no other DTCs are set


2. Verify the scan tool Tire Pressure Sensor Signal Quality parameter of all 4 tire pressure sensors is
communicating maximum of 300 s and not rising while driving the vehicle above 40 km/h (25 mph) for
greater than 5 min.

NOTE: All TPM sensors should display a saw-tooth wave form that returns to zero,
ideally each 60 seconds (or 10 seconds for a period after a relearn). If any timer
reaches 1080 seconds a "too few pulses" code will set. It is not unusual for
transmissions to occasionally be missed due to many factors, however if an
individual location is growing to 300-500 seconds there is likely something
faulty or interfering with this transmission.

In this event, one should rotate and relearn the tires and then reevaluate. If the
same wheel, in the new position continues to infrequently reset to zero -
growing to 300-500 seconds replace the TPM Sensor in that wheel. If the large
accumulation of seconds remains in the same vehicle position after the
rotation, the fault is likely due to a radio frequency interference. Refer to
Diagnostic Aids.

3. If the Tire Pressure Sensor Signal Quality parameter is not communicating maximum of 300 s and
rising on one or more tires
1. Move the appropriate tire to a different location on the vehicle if possible or swap the two components,
the original component that is not responding with another known good component from the vehicle and
verify the Tire Pressure Sensor Signal Quality is communicating maximum of 300 s and not rising.
Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
If Tire Pressure Sensor Signal Quality parameter does not communicate maximum of 300 s and
rising after moving tire or component to different location, replace the appropriate B2 Tire
Pressure Sensor and perform the Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn.
If Tire Pressure Sensor Signal Quality parameter does communicate maximum of 300 s and not
rising after moving tire or components to different location, check for any aftermarket devices that
could be causing interference to the tire pressure sensor signal.
Go to next step: If the Tire Pressure Sensor Signal Quality parameter is communicating maximum
of 300 s and not rising on one or more tires
4. Perform the Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn.
5. Verify the scan tool Tire Pressure Sensor Mode parameter changes to Drive while driving the vehicle above 40
km/h (25 mph) for greater than 2 min.
If a Tire Pressure Sensor Mode parameter does not change to Drive
1. Replace the appropriate B2 Tire Pressure Sensor.
2. Perform the Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn.
Go to next step: If the Tire Pressure Sensor Mode parameter does change to Drive
6. All OK.

TIRE FILL ALERT MALFUNCTION


Diagnostic Instructions

• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

Instead of just warning the driver via the DIC when the vehicle tires are low, this feature provides audible and visual
indication to the driver when they are putting air into the low tire to aid in achieving optimal tire pressure. The
feature begins when the tire pressure telltale is illuminated for a low tire. When the driver starts to fill the low tire,
the vehicle will flash the turn lamp of the corner that is being filled. This will provide feedback to the driver that a

7 of 20
fill event is occurring. When the placard tire pressure is achieved, the vehicle will notify the driver with a single,
short, horn chirp, similar to the one heard when locking the vehicle. The turn signal lamp of that corner will then stop
flashing and become solid for a short period of time. If continuing to fill the tire and overfill occurs, the vehicle will
notify the driver by sounding the horn three short chirps.

Diagnostic Aids

The TPMS will not activate the tire fill alert properly under the following conditions:

• There is interference from an external device or transmitter.


• The air pressure from the inflation device is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
• There is a malfunction in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
• There is a malfunction in the horn or turn signal lamps.
• The identification code of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor is not registered to the system.
• The battery of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor is low.

Circuit/System Verification

NOTE: Tire Fill Alert Service Procedure needs to be done consecutively within the same
day.

1. Verify all the tire pressure sensors installed on the vehicle are compatible with tire fill alert:
• Aluminum valve stem - scan tool Tire Pressure Sensor Identification parameter begins with 0 or B = Tire
fill alert compatible
• Rubber valve stem - 315 MHz - scan tool Tire Pressure Sensor Identification parameter begins with 9 =
Tire fill alert compatible
• Rubber valve stem - 433 MHz - scan tool Tire Pressure Sensor Identification parameter begins with a 4
= Tire fill alert compatible
2. If any tire pressure sensor installed on the vehicle is not compatible with tire fill alert. Replace the appropriate
incompatible tire pressure sensor.
3. Check sensors to ensure they are reporting properly.
4. If any of the sensors is not reporting properly, then follow Tire Pressure Monitoring sensor service procedure.
5. While vehicle is parked and in accessory power mode, release air from tire until the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System telltale is illuminated.
6. Using a high pressure compressor (flow rate has to be higher than 0.15psi per second), start filling the tire with
air.
7. Monitor vehicle corner lights and horn chirps.
8. If tire fill alert works and there is no issue with feature, then stop. If Tire Fill Alert is still not working, proceed
to step 8.
9. While vehicle is parked and in accessory power mode, release air from tire until the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System telltale is illuminated.
10. Monitor and log the Tire Fill Alert Current state parameter: NonMonitor, Monitor, Active, Achieved. Initial
state should be in Monitor Mode.
11. Using a high pressure compressor (flow rate has to be higher than 0.15psi per second), start filling the tire with
air.
12. Monitor the scan tool Tire Fill Alert parameter change its state from Monitor to Active to Achieved.
13. If parameter states ARE changing while the tire is being filled with air, and no lights or horn feedback are
being issued, then refer to Lighting diagnostics.

EL-52545 Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor and RF Diagnostic Tool

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools.

Tire Pressure Sensor Learn with EL-52545 (Preferred)

The EL-52545 allows the tire pressure sensors to be learned without transmitting RF data between the tire pressure
sensors and the vehicle. When using the EL-52545 each tire pressure sensor ID is learned to the EL-52545 and
stored internally. The EL-52545 is then connected to the vehicle DLC using the OBD2 Interface Module, which is
part of the EL-52545 kit. The stored tire pressure sensor information will then be loaded into the K9 Body Control
Module. Using the EL-52545 to learn tire pressure sensors will prevent the vehicle from learning errant nearby tire
pressure sensor from other vehicles in a service facility environment, especially if the tire pressure sensor batteries
are low. This is the GM recommended method to learn tire pressure sensors.

1. Turn on EL-52545
2. Select RDR from the on-screen display
3. If available, scan the QR code on the vehicle's tire placard or certification label. If QR is not available, select
MMY from the on-screen display and manually input the vehicle information.

NOTE: Make sure the TPM tool battery is sufficient to complete TPM learn process. Do
not place the TPM tool directly on the valve stem. The TPM tool should be
placed against the tire sidewall near the valve stem. The TPM sensor learn
activation procedure may have to be repeated up to 3 times before determining
a sensor is malfunctioning.

4. Approach the vehicle starting with the left front tire and read each tire pressure sensor information by pressing
the green trigger button with the EL-52545 located near the tire valve stem. Read each tire pressure sensor in
the order identified on the EL-52545 .
If any tire pressure sensors do not respond

Replace the tire pressure sensor only after several attempts have been made to identify all sensors.
Undetected sensor will be identified with "No Sensor Detected" displayed in the table. After sensor
replacement rerun RDR procedure.

Go to next step: If all tire pressure sensors do respond


5. Verify the BAT value for each tire pressure sensor in the table on the EL-52545 is OK
If not OK

Replace the tire pressure sensor and rerun RDR procedure.

Go to next step: If OK

15 of 20
6. Verify the pressure and temperature values are reasonable based on the ambient conditions and actual tire
pressure.
If either value is inaccurate

Replace the tire pressure sensor and rerun RDR procedure.

Go to next step: If both values are accurate


7. Ignition On/Vehicle in Service Mode.
8. Connect the EL-52545 OBD2 Interface Module to the EL-52545 .
9. Verify the OBDII icon is displayed on the EL-52545 and the green com LED is flashing on the EL-52545
OBD2 Interface Module.
10. Connect the other end of the OBD2 Interface Module to the vehicle DLC.
11. Select OK on the EL-52545 and follow the on-screen instructions.

Tire Pressure Sensor Learn with EL-50448 (Alternative)

When EL-50448 Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor Activation Tool is used in activate mode, it produces a low frequency
transmission that activates the sensor. The sensor responds to a low frequency activation by transmitting in Learn
Mode-Remotely Triggered. When the BCM receives a learn mode transmission while in Learn mode, it will assign
that sensors ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.

NOTE: In the event a particular sensor is activated and the horn does not chirp, it may be
necessary to rotate the wheel so that the valve stem is in a different position due to
the sensor signal is being blocked by another component. Make sure the TPM tool
battery is sufficient to complete TPM learn process. Do not place the TPM tool
directly on the valve stem. The TPM tool should be placed against the tire sidewall
near the valve stem. The TPM sensor learn activation procedure may have to be
repeated up to 3 times before determining a sensor is malfunctioning.

1. Ignition On/Vehicle in Service Mode, using driver information center buttons, initiate the Tire Pressure
Sensors Learn mode. A double horn chirp will sound indicating the Learn mode has been enabled. The left
front turn signal will also be illuminated.
2. Starting with the left front tire, activate the sensor by holding the antenna of the tire pressure monitor
activation tool aimed upward against the tire sidewall close to the wheel rim at the valve stem location. Press
and release the activate button. Ensure that the transmit indicator on the special tool indicates that the sensor
activation signal is being transmitted. Wait for a horn chirp. If the horn does not chirp, repeat the sensor
activation sequence with the tool. Once the horn chirp has sounded, the sensor information is learned and the
turn signal in the next location to be learned will illuminate.
3. After the horn chirp has sounded and the right front turn signal is illuminated, repeat step 3 for the remaining 3
sensors in the following order:
1. Right front
2. Right rear
3. Left rear
4. When the left rear sensor has been learned and a double horn chirp has sounded, the learn process is complete
and the BCM exits the Learn mode.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

16 of 20
Special Tools

EL-52545 Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor and RF Diagnostic Tool

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Operation

The tire pressure monitor system warns the driver when a significant loss of tire pressure occurs in any of the
equipped tires. It allows the driver to display the individual tire pressures and their locations on the driver
information center.

The system uses the body control module (BCM), driver information center, instrument cluster, remote control door
lock receiver, and a radio frequency transmitting pressure sensor in each tire assembly. Each sensor has an internal
power supply.

Tire Fill Alert (TFA) (If Equipped) feature provides visual and audible alerts (light flashes and horn chirps) to drivers
to assist in inflating an underinflated tire to the recommended tire pressure without the need to check a gauge or the
instrument panel. TFA only functions once the tire pressure is low enough to trigger the telltale on the dashboard.
When the driver starts filling the underinflated tire, the corner lamp nearest to that tire will begin to flash. When the
recommended pressure is reached, the horn sounds once and the turn signal lamps will stop flashing and briefly turn
solid. If the tire is overinflated by more than 35 kPa (5 psi), the horn will sound multiple times and the turn signal
lamp will continue to flash for several seconds after filling stops. To release and correct the pressure, while the turn
signal lamp is still flashing, briefly press the center of the valve stem. When the recommended pressure is reached,
the horn sounds once.

Software Auto-location (SAL) (If Equipped) is achieved by correlating information from the sensor with information
from the ABS system to make a location decision. Factors such as rolling radius, steering angle etc. cause each
vehicle wheel to rotate at a unique speed and difference in tire speeds helps software auto learn feature to assign
sensor IDs to the correct locations. If a new sensor has been installed or tire rotated, the vehicle must be stationary
for about 20 minutes before the system can start the process of calculating correct sensor locations. For this to
happen, the vehicle will need to be driven at speed greater than 20 km/h (12 mph) for about 10 min.

When the vehicle is stationary, the sensors internal shock sensor is inactive which puts the sensors into a Stationary
state. In this state the sensors sample tire pressure once every 30 sec and do not transmit at all if the tire pressure

17 of 20
does not change. As vehicle speed increases, the shock sensor pulses every wheel rotation, which puts the sensor into
Rolling mode. The remote control door lock receiver receives and then sends the tire pressure and temperature data
to the body control module (BCM). The BCM translates the data contained in the tire pressure sensor radio
frequency transmissions into sensor presence, sensor mode, and tire pressure. Once vehicle speed is greater than 40
km/h (25 MPH), the sensors begin to transmit once a minute keeping the pressure data up to date.

Each sensor has its own unique identification (ID) code which it transmits as part of each RF message and must be
learned into the BCM memory. Once all 4 ID's have been learned and vehicle speed is greater than 40 km/h (25
mph), the BCM continuously compares ID's and pressure data in the received transmissions to the learned ID's and
pressures to determine if all 4 sensors are present and if one or more tires are low. If the BCM detects a low tire
pressure condition, or a malfunction in the system, it will send a serial data message to the instrument cluster
requesting the appropriate tire pressure monitor indicator illumination and also to display the appropriate data
message on the driver information center, if equipped.

The sensors continuously compare their last pressure sample to their current pressure sample and will transmit in
Alert mode if a 8.3 kPa (1.2 PSI) change in tire pressure has been detected in either a Stationary or Rolling state.
When the tire pressure system detects a significant loss, or gain of tire pressure, the tire pressure monitor indicator
icon is continuously illuminated on the instrument cluster and if equipped, a check tire pressure type message is
displayed on the driver information center.

Both the indicator icon and driver information center message can be cleared by adjusting the tire pressures to the
recommended kPa/PSI.

If power is disconnected from the BCM or if the vehicle battery is disconnected each tire pressure sensor ID is
retained but all of the tire pressure information is lost. Under these circumstances the BCM cannot assume that the
tire pressures were maintained over an unknown period of time. Cars equipped with the driver information center
will display dashes and the scan tool will indicate a default tire pressure value of 220 kPa (32 PSI) for each tire. To
reactivate the sensors, the vehicle must be driven above 40 km/h (25 MPH) for at least 2 min. When the sensors are
activated, the driver information center displays the current tire pressures. The EL-52545 tire pressure monitor
sensor and RF diagnostic tool may also be used to activate the sensors as well.

The BCM has the ability to detect malfunctions within the tire pressure monitor system. In the event a DTC is set,
the tire pressure monitor indicator icon on the instrument cluster will flash for approximately 1 min. and then remain
illuminated for the remainder of the key cycle. After a key cycle and the instrument cluster bulb check has been
completed the indicator will again flash for 1 min. and then remain illuminated if the DTC persists. Any malfunction
detected will cause the driver information center to display a service tire monitor system type message.

Circuit/System Description

The liftgate control module controls the liftgate release motor by supplying 12 V to the release control circuit.
The motor control circuits are monitored by the liftgate control module prior to activation for a high or low
condition and during motor operation for an insufficient current flow condition.

The ratchet, pawl, and sector switches are part of the liftgate latch assembly and are used by the liftgate control
module to determine the state of the latch during the process of latching or unlatching. The ratchet and pawl
switches will be inactive when the primary and secondary latches are latched, and the sector switch will be
active during the power cinch function. Each of the latch switch signal circuits are supplied battery voltage
through a resistor and monitored within the liftgate control module. When the switch contacts close the signal

33 of 239
circuit goes low and the liftgate control module determines the switch to be active.

The latch motor is a bi-directional motor and cinch or unlatch operation is the result of the direction of the
motor rotation. The liftgate control module controls the latch motor through the control circuits by supplying
power and ground in the appropriate polarity. The motor control circuits are monitored by the liftgate control
module prior to activation for a high or low condition and during motor operation for an insufficient current
flow condition.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The system voltage is 9 - 16 V.

The liftgate control module detects a short to battery in the liftgate latch motor release control circuit while
commanding the liftgate latch to release.

B24A0 02

The liftgate control module detects a short to ground in the liftgate latch motor release control circuit while
commanding the liftgate latch to release.

B24A0 08

The liftgate control module detects high resistance in the liftgate latch motor release control circuit while
commanding the liftgate latch to release.

LIFTGATE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS


Diagnostic Instructions

• Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
• Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
• Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description

The power liftgate system is a standard liftgate that has an added electric motor, a spindle drive arm, an electric
latch/cinch system and an optional handsfree liftgate release system. The liftgate can be either manually or
power opened and closed. Power opening or closing of the liftgate can be done through the interior liftgate
switch, pushing either the open or close switch at the liftgate, pressing open or close buttons on the keyless
entry transmitter or the motion of a foot under the rear fascia. The powered liftgate function can be disabled
using the interior liftgate on/off control switch.

Diagnostic Aids

Check the calibration software installed on the liftgate control module prior to performing extensive
diagnostics, vehicles with the handsfree liftgate control option (TC2) require specific calibration software.
Incorrect calibration software may cause the power liftgate system to become inoperative without setting any
DTCs

If the liftgate will not release from the closed position, refer to Opening the Liftgate Without Electrical
Power for the appropriate procedure

Power liftgate function will only be allowed if certain operating criteria are met. Any of the following may
cause the power liftgate not to function:

• Vehicle is not in park


• System voltage is below 10.5 V
• Engine is cranking
• The vehicle doors are locked
• A liftgate control module DTC is set
• Liftgate motor excess current is detected which may be caused by a misaligned liftgate striker
• Interior trim and/or liftgate wedge/bumper misalignment
• Remote power liftgate functions may be disabled if a second keyless entry transmitter is inside the vehicle

Whenever the liftgate control module loses power or is disconnected, the ignition must be cycled OFF then ON
in order to reactivate the liftgate control module.

Circuit/System Description

The liftgate control module controls the liftgate release motor by supplying 12 V to the release control circuit.
The motor control circuits are monitored by the liftgate control module prior to activation for a high or low
condition and during motor operation for an insufficient current flow condition.

The ratchet, pawl, and sector switches are part of the liftgate latch assembly and are used by the liftgate control

111 of 239
module to determine the state of the latch during the process of latching or unlatching. The ratchet and pawl
switches will be inactive when the primary and secondary latches are latched, and the sector switch will be
active during the power cinch function. Each of the latch switch signal circuits are supplied battery voltage
through a resistor and monitored within the liftgate control module. When the switch contacts close the signal
circuit goes low and the liftgate control module determines the switch to be active.

The latch motor is a bi-directional motor and cinch or unlatch operation is the result of the direction of the
motor rotation. The liftgate control module controls the latch motor through the control circuits by supplying
power and ground in the appropriate polarity. The motor control circuits are monitored by the liftgate control
module prior to activation for a high or low condition and during motor operation for an insufficient current
flow condition.

Circuit/System Description

The unlatch, ratchet, pawl, and sector switches are part of the liftgate latch assembly and are used by the liftgate
control module to determine the state of the latch during the process of cinching or unlatching. The ratchet and
pawl switches will be inactive when the primary and secondary latches are latched, and the sector switch will be
active during the power cinch function. Each of the latch switch signal circuits are supplied signal through a
resistor and monitored within the liftgate control module. The latch switches share a common low reference
circuit from the liftgate control module and when the switch contacts close, the signal circuit goes low and the
liftgate control module determines the switch to be active.

157 of 239
The liftgate control module continuously monitors power liftgate operation and calculates its location and
direction of travel using 2 Hall effect sensors that are part of the liftgate motor. The Hall effect sensors are 12 V
3-wire sensors and are supplied with a 12 V reference, ground and signal circuits from the liftgate control
module. The Hall effect sensor signal circuits are referenced from voltage within the liftgate control module and
pulsed low by the Hall effect sensors.

Diagnostic Aids

• Whenever the liftgate control module loses power or is disconnected, the ignition must be cycled OFF
then ON in order to reactivate the liftgate control module.
• Check the calibration software installed on the liftgate control module prior to performing extensive
diagnostics, vehicles with the handsfree liftgate control option (TC2) require specific calibration software.
Incorrect calibration software may cause the power liftgate system to become inoperative without setting
any DTCs
• Remote power liftgate functions may be disabled if a second keyless entry transmitter is inside the vehicle

FUEL FILL DOOR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


Fuel Door Unlatch System Components

• Body control module (BCM)


• Fuel door unlatch actuator
• Fuel door relay

The locking and unlocking of the fuel door is a function of the power door lock system. The fuel door unlatch
actuator is supplied by the door lock signal circuit and the driver door unlock signal circuit which is switched
through the fuel door relay. The fuel door relay coil is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When the
vehicles doors are unlocked, the body control module (BCM) will respond by applying voltage to the fuel door
relay coil control circuit. This energizes the coil causing the switch contacts to close. With the switch contacts
closed, the driver door unlock circuit supplies B+ or ground to the fuel door unlatch actuator, unlocking the fuel
door.

LIFTGATE AJAR INDICATOR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


LIFTGATE OPEN Indicator

Manual Liftgate

The instrument panel cluster illuminates the LIFTGATE OPEN indicator when the body control module (BCM)
detects that the liftgate is open. The instrument panel cluster receives a serial data message from the BCM
requesting illumination. If the vehicle is in the forward or reverse gear position, the BCM activates an audible
warning.

Power Liftgate

The liftgate control module detects the liftgate ratchet switch is closed to ground indicating the liftgate is open.
The instrument panel cluster receives a serial data message from the liftgate control module indicating the
liftgate ajar status and the driver information center illuminates the LIFTGATE OPEN indicator.

LIFTGATE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


System Description

The power liftgate system consists of the following components:

• Liftgate control module


• Liftgate position sensor (part of the power assist actuator)
• Interior liftgate rotary switch
• Liftgate handle switch

234 of 239
• Liftgate close switch
• Liftgate latch assembly
• Liftgate power assist actuator
• Left and right liftgate object sensors
• Hands free liftgate sensor control module
• Upper and lower liftgate hands free sensors
• Keyless entry transmitter
• Remote control door lock receiver

Operation

The power liftgate can be commanded to power open and power close by the following methods:

• An open or close command from the interior liftgate rotary switch


• An open command from the liftgate handle switch
• A close command from the liftgate close switch
• An open or close request by a signal from the keyless entry transmitter to the remote control door lock
receiver (3/4 or the MAX modes only)
• The kicking motion of a foot and lower leg under the rear fascia - Sensor location may vary depending
upon make and model, refer to owner's manual for the location of the sensors

The liftgate control module will respond to a request by commanding the liftgate latch to release the liftgate and
activate the liftgate motor in the liftgate power assist actuator and raise the liftgate to the open position or to
lower and cinch the liftgate closed.

Power Latch

The liftgate control module continuously monitors power liftgate operation and calculates its location and
direction of travel from an liftgate position sensor (part of the power assist actuator). One input returns the
position of the liftgate relative to the x-axis and y-axis. The liftgate control module then uses these 2 inputs
together to calculate its angle relative to the liftgate. The interior liftgate rotary switch contains resistors which
will incrementally drop the voltage level in the signal circuit as the switch rotated from the OFF position to the
3/4 position or the MAX position, the liftgate control module will detect the change in voltage and will monitor
the x-axis and y-axis as the liftgate is in motion to stop the liftgate parallel to the vehicle roof if the rotary
switch is in the 3/4 setting or to open fully if the rotary switch is in the MAX setting.

The liftgate latch assembly is a bi-directional motor and latch or unlatch operation is the result of the direction
of the motor rotation. The liftgate control module controls the liftgate latch assembly through the control
circuits by supplying power and ground in the appropriate polarity. The motor control circuits are monitored by
the liftgate control module prior to activation for a high or low condition and during motor operation for an
insufficient current flow condition. The unlatch, ratchet, pawl, and sector switches are part of the liftgate latch
assembly and are used by the liftgate control module to determine the state of the latch during the process of
latching or unlatching and will send the status of the latches to the body control module which is used to
determine if the liftgate is closed or ajar. Each of the latch switch signal circuits are supplied battery voltage and
monitored within the liftgate control module. The latch switches share a common low reference circuit from the
liftgate control module and when the switch contacts close the signal circuit goes low and the liftgate control
module determines the switch to be active.

The liftgate handle switch and liftgate close switch signal circuit are each supplied battery voltage by the

235 of 239
liftgate control module. The switches share a common low reference circuit from the liftgate control module
and when the switch is pressed the contacts close and the appropriate signal circuit goes low, the liftgate control
module will detect the voltage drop and will command the liftgate to release and power open or to power close.

For vehicles without the optional passive keyless entry, when the liftgate handle switch is pressed, the liftgate
control module will check the status of the vehicle door locks by sending a serial data message to the body
control module requesting the door lock status. If the vehicle doors are locked, the liftgate control module will
ignore the signal from the liftgate handle switch. If the vehicle doors are unlocked, the liftgate control module
will permit the liftgate to unlatch and power open when the liftgate handle switch is pressed.

For vehicles with the optional passive keyless entry system, the keyless entry control module monitors the
proximity of the keyless entry transmitter. If the liftgate handle switch is pressed and the keyless entry
transmitter is within range, the keyless entry control module will send a serial data message to the liftgate
control module indicating the presence of the keyless entry transmitter and the liftgate control module will
permit the liftgate to unlatch and power open. If the doors are locked and the keyless entry transmitter is not
within range, the liftgate control module will ignore the signal from the liftgate handle switch.

Liftgate Hands Free Sensor

The sensors are located behind the rear fascia (location may vary depending upon make and model, refer to
owner's manual for the location of the sensors) and is designed to detect the motion of the operator's foot by
way of a kicking motion. When the keyless entry transmitter is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate and the
operator kicks his or her foot under the rear fascia, the sensors will detect the motion of the foot and the lower
leg and if the procedure has been performed correctly the hands free liftgate sensor control module will send a
serial data message to the liftgate control module. The tail lamps will then flash to indicate that the command
has been received and the liftgate will power open or power close. The liftgate hands free functions can be
modified within the Vehicle Personalization:

• Open and close with the kicking motion


• Open only with the kicking motion
• Hands free function disabled
• Keyless Access function disabled

Object Detection

The power liftgate system uses an object detection method which consists of object sensors fixed to both sides
of the liftgate near the seal area. The object sensors consist of an internal fixed resistor and normally open
switch contacts which when closed will bypass the resistor. The signal circuit is supplied 5 V through a resistor
and monitored within the liftgate control module, and during normal power liftgate operation the signal circuit
should remain a fixed value. When an object presses one of the sensors the contacts close and the resistor is
bypassed causing the signal circuit voltage at the module to go low. If the liftgate is being power closed at that
time, the liftgate control module will command the power liftgate to reverse direction. All power close liftgate
operations will be suspended until the obstruction pressing on the object sensor is removed

Manual Liftgate Operation

NOTE: The interior liftgate rotary switch must be in the 3/4 position or the MAX
position for the remote keyless entry transmitter (key fob) to command the
liftgate, The OFF setting will disable the liftgate release of the remote keyless
entry transmitter (key fob)

236 of 239
The operator has the option to disable the power liftgate operations by selecting the "OFF" position on the
interior liftgate rotary switch. The releasing and cinching for the liftgate latch will function normally, however,
the operator must manually pull the liftgate open and push the liftgate closed. All power liftgate operations will
be suspended for as long as the liftgate rotary switch is in the "OFF" position.

Door Lock and Unlock Operation

When the driver or passenger door lock switch is activated in the lock or unlock position, the BCM will receive
a ground signal on either the door lock switch lock or unlock signal circuits.

The BCM, upon receipt of a lock switch lock or unlock signal, will supply battery voltage to the door lock
actuator lock or unlock control circuits. Since the opposite side of the lock actuator is connected to ground
through the other lock actuator control circuit, the doors will then lock or unlock as commanded.

The following three circuits are used to operate the lock:

• Driver door unlock


• Passenger door unlock
• All door lock

The driver door lock actuator is isolated so it can be unlocked by itself using the keyless entry transmitter.

Key Cylinder Switch

The driver window switch monitors the voltage level of the driver door lock motor status signal circuit. When
the key is inserted into the driver door key cylinder and turned to the Lock position, a switch within the driver
door latch closes causing the voltage to drop within the driver door lock motor status signal circuit. The driver
window switch will detect the drop in voltage and will send a serial data message to the BCM commanding all
the doors to Lock.

The driver key cylinder switch is used by the customer for programming the keyless entry transmitters, The
driver window/outside rearview mirror switch monitors the voltage level of the key switch unlock signal circuit
and when it detects a reprogramming request, it will send a serial data message to the body control module.

Passive Door Lock/Unlock Operation

The exterior door handle switch signal circuits provide inputs to the keyless entry control module when the
exterior door handle switches are activated. These inputs allow the keyless entry control module to detect a door
lock or a door unlock request. The keyless entry control module provides a 12 V signal to each exterior door
handle switch via the door handle switch signal circuits. When a door handle switch is pressed, the switch
closes and the voltage signal within the signal circuit is pulled to ground. The keyless entry control module will

238 of 239
detect the voltage drop and a low frequency antenna will transmit a challenge to the keyless entry transmitter. If
the challenge is met, the keyless entry transmitter will respond and the keyless entry control module will send a
serial data message to the body control module to command the door (s) to be locked or unlocked

REAR HATCH/GATE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


Liftgate Release System Components

• Body control module (BCM)


• Underhood fuse block-liftgate unlatch PCB relay
• Liftgate unlatch switch
• Liftgate door lock actuator

Liftgate Release Operation

Liftgate Unlatch Switch

The BCM monitors supplies a 12 V signal to the liftgate unlatch switch so that when the switch is pressed, the
voltage within the signal circuit is pulled low and in response, the BCM will detect the voltage drop and check
the status of the door lock system. If the doors are locked, the BCM will ignore the request, if the All Doors
Unlocked has been commanded, the BCM will recognize the request and command the liftgate to release.

Liftgate Door Lock Actuator

When BCM receives a liftgate release command from the liftgate unlatch switch, the BCM applies voltage and
ground to the liftgate unlatch relay control circuit, which energizes the coil side of the relay. The switch side of
the release relay then momentarily closes, supplying a brief pulse of battery positive voltage to the liftgate door
lock actuator. The liftgate door lock actuator is continuously grounded and when it receives the voltage pulse, it
will become energized and the latch will activate releasing the liftgate so that it may be manually raised to an
open position.

Serial Data U151A U151A U151A -
Ground - U151A - -

Circuit/System Description

B+ and ground is supplied at all times to the rain sensor. The rain sensor communicates with the body control
module (BCM) via serial data. When the ignition is in the ON or ACCESSORY position and the windshield
wiper/washer switch is in the intermittent delay position, the BCM monitors the rain sensor data to determine
the rain build up on the windshield. As rain builds up on the windshield, the BCM will command the wipers to
activate. The sensitivity of the wiper frequency is controlled by the intermittent delay of the windshield
wiper/washer switch. As the sensitivity is increased, the BCM will command more frequent wiper activation
based on rain build up on the windshield.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Communication between the BCM and the rain sensor is interrupted, and an interruption in communication is a
serial data fault.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• If the BCM loses communication with the rain sensor while operating with single wipes, the windshield
wiper operation will default to intermittent operation with a fixed dwell time of 4 s.
• If the BCM loses communication with the rain sensor while operating at low speed, the windshield wiper
operation will default to low speed.
• If the BCM loses communication with the rain sensor while operating at high speed, the windshield wiper
operation will default to high speed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The DTC will clear when communication is established between the BCM and rain sensor.

Circuit/System Description

The rear wiper motor is controlled by the body control module (BCM) via a printed circuit board (PCB) relay.
The BCM will respond by commanding the specific rear wiper function based on an input from the rear wiper
switch, which is part of the windshield wiper/washer switch. The rear wiper switch uses a resistor ladder to
determine low speed, intermittent, and rear washer operation. A constant B+ and ground are supplied to the rear
wiper motor. When the rear wiper switch is placed in the low speed, intermittent, or rear washer position, the
voltage is pulled down through a different resistor in the resistor ladder, reducing the voltage seen at the BCM.

The BCM monitors the liftgate ajar signal circuit, and the BCM will disable the function of the rear wiper motor
if the liftgate of liftglass is ajar or open

the BCM will apply voltage to the windshield wiper relay control circuit. This will cause the contacts in the
windshield wiper relay to close and apply B+ to the windshield wiper motor through the windshield wiper low
speed control circuit, enabling low speed wiper operation. When high speed windshield wiper operation is
requested, the body control module continues to apply voltage to the windshield wiper relay control circuit and
also applies ground to the windshield wiper speed control relay control circuit. This will cause the contacts in
the windshield wiper speed control relay to close and apply B+ to the windshield wiper motor through the
windshield wiper high speed control circuit, enabling high speed wiper operation. When the windshield wiper
request is no longer present, the contacts in the windshield wiper relay and windshield wiper speed control relay
will open, removing B+ from the wiper motor control circuits. The windshield wiper motor will continue to
operate using a discrete B+ circuit provided by the BCM until the wipers are in the park position.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• A wiper output is actively being requested by the BCM.


• The system voltage is between 9 - 16 V.

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) controls the windshield wiper motor based on inputs from the windshield
wiper/washer switch. The BCM monitors the windshield wiper/washer switch through two separate signal
circuits and a low reference circuit. The windshield wiper/washer switch uses a resistor ladder to determine low
speed and intermittent operation. The BCM applies and monitors voltage on the windshield wiper switch signal
circuit. When the wiper switch is placed in the low speed or intermittent position, the voltage is pulled down
through a different resistor in the resistor ladder, reducing the voltage seen at the BCM. The BCM will respond
by commanding on the low speed or intermittent wipers. The high speed wipers are controls through a discrete
signal circuit. With the windshield wiper/washer switch is in the high speed position, the windshield wiper high
speed switch signal circuit is pulled directly to ground. The BCM will respond by commanding on the high
speed wipers.

The windshield wiper motor is controlled by the BCM through the windshield wiper replay and the windshield
wiper speed control relay. A constant ground is supplied to the rear wiper motor. When low speed windshield
wiper operation is requested, the BCM will apply voltage to the windshield wiper relay control circuit. This will
cause the contacts in the windshield wiper relay to close and apply B+ to the windshield wiper motor through
the windshield wiper low speed control circuit, enabling low speed wiper operation. When high speed
windshield wiper operation is requested, the BCM continues to apply voltage to the windshield wiper relay
control circuit and also applies ground to the windshield wiper speed control relay control circuit. This will
cause the contacts in the windshield wiper speed control relay to close and apply B+ to the windshield wiper
motor through the windshield wiper high speed control circuit, enabling high speed wiper operation. When the
windshield wiper request is no longer present, the contacts in the windshield wiper relay and windshield wiper
speed control relay will open, removing B+ from the wiper motor control circuits. The windshield wiper motor
will continue to operate using a discrete B+ circuit provided by the BCM until the wipers are in the park
position.

1. Low washer fluid message always displayed
2. Low washer fluid message never displayed

Circuit/System Description

The Adding Washer Fluid message is controlled by the instrument cluster. This message is controlled by using a
signal message input from the washer fluid level switch. The washer fluid level signal circuit is supplied voltage
through a resistor then monitored within the instrument cluster. The washer fluid level switch is normally closed
when the washer fluid level is full. The instrument cluster detects ignition voltage on the washer fluid level
signal circuit. When the washer fluid reaches the point where the driver should be informed that the washer
fluid is low, the washer fluid level switch opens. When the washer fluid level switch is opened, the washer fluid
level signal circuit voltage is pulled high, and the instrument cluster displays the Adding Washer Fluid message
on the driver information center. In order to prevent the Adding Washer Fluid message from being displayed
while sloshing is occurring in the washer fluid container, the instrument cluster is programed with a 1 min delay
before changing states of the Adding Washer Fluid message during an ignition cycle.

Serial Data U151A U151A U151A -
Ground - U151A - -

Circuit/System Description

B+ and ground is supplied at all times to the rain sensor. The rain sensor communicates with the body control
module (BCM) via serial data. When the ignition is in the ON or ACCESSORY position and the windshield
wiper/washer switch is in the intermittent delay position, the BCM monitors the rain sensor data to determine
the rain build up on the windshield. As rain builds up on the windshield, the BCM will command the wipers to
activate. The sensitivity of the wiper frequency is controlled by the intermittent delay of the windshield
wiper/washer switch. As the sensitivity is increased, the BCM will command more frequent wiper activation
based on rain build up on the windshield.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Communication between the BCM and the rain sensor is interrupted, and an interruption in communication is a
serial data fault.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• If the BCM loses communication with the rain sensor while operating with single wipes, the windshield
wiper operation will default to intermittent operation with a fixed dwell time of 4 s.
• If the BCM loses communication with the rain sensor while operating at low speed, the windshield wiper
operation will default to low speed.
• If the BCM loses communication with the rain sensor while operating at high speed, the windshield wiper
operation will default to high speed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

36 of 84
The DTC will clear when communication is established between the BCM and rain sensor.

Circuit/System Description

The rear wiper motor is controlled by the body control module (BCM) via a printed circuit board (PCB) relay.
The BCM will respond by commanding the specific rear wiper function based on an input from the rear wiper
switch, which is part of the windshield wiper/washer switch. The rear wiper switch uses a resistor ladder to
determine low speed, intermittent, and rear washer operation. A constant B+ and ground are supplied to the rear
wiper motor. When the rear wiper switch is placed in the low speed, intermittent, or rear washer position, the
voltage is pulled down through a different resistor in the resistor ladder, reducing the voltage seen at the BCM.

The BCM monitors the liftgate ajar signal circuit, and the BCM will disable the function of the rear wiper motor
if the liftgate of liftglass is ajar or open

Diagnostic Aids

The rear liftgate must be closed in order for the rear wiper to work. The liftgate ajar switch signal circuit
provides information to the rear window wiper module about the status of the liftgate. If the liftgate or liftglass
is open the rear wiper operation is not performed.

Circuit/System Description

The rear windshield washer pump is controlled by the body control module (BCM) via a printed circuit board
(PCB) relay. The BCM monitors the rear windshield wiper/washer switch signal circuit and when rear washer
activation is requested, the BCM applies voltage through the rear window washer pump relay control circuit.
With the relay energized, fused battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts of the relay and the rear
windshield washer pump control circuit to activate the rear windshield washer pump.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Wiper/Washer System Components

The wiper/washer system consists of the following electrical components:

• Rain Sensor
• Windshield Washer Pump Relay
• Windshield Washer Fluid Pump
• Windshield Wiper Motor
• Window Wiper/Washer Switch
• Windshield Wiper Motor Fuse
• Windshield Washer Fluid Pump Fuse
• Body Control Module (BCM)
• Rear Window Wiper Motor
• Rear Window Wiper Motor Fuse
• Rear Window Wiper Relay
• Rear Window Washer Pump Relay
• Rear Window Washer Pump Fuse
• Headlamp Washer Fluid Pump Relay
• Headlamp Washer Fluid Pump Fuse
• Windshield Washer Fluid Level Switch
• Underhood Fuse Block (Contains Windshield Washer Pump PCB Relay)

Windshield Wiper System

The body control module (BCM) controls the wiper motor via two removable relays (Windshield Wiper Relay
and Windshield Wiper Speed Control Relay). The BCM determines the wipe/wash system mode of operation by
monitoring several signals from the Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.

The BCM has 3 signal circuits, the first signal circuit is the Windshield Wiper Switch Low Reference, where the
BCM provides a low reference signal to the Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch. Each input of the BCM provides
a switched battery pull-up for each Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch output signal it receives.

The second signal circuit is the Windshield Wiper Switch Low Signal, and it consists of 6 resistors in the
windshield wiper/washer switch configured as a resistor ladder network. The BCM monitors the voltage, and
when high speed windshield wiper operation is requested, the windshield wiper control switch is connected to a
different set of resistors into the circuit resulting in different voltages appearing on the BCM A/D input. To
initiate low speed operation, the BCM only energizes the front wiper motor on/off relay. This allows battery
voltage from the wiper fuse to be applied through the switched contacts of the wiper motor on/off relay, through
the normally closed contacts of the wiper high/low speed relay, to the low speed control circuit of the
windshield wiper motor.

The third signal circuit is the Windshield Wiper Switch High Signal, the BCM monitors the voltage, and when

76 of 84
high speed windshield wiper operation is requested, the BCM continues to apply voltages to the windshield
wiper relay control circuit and also applies ground to the windshield wiper speed control relay control circuit.
This will cause the contacts in the windshield wiper speed control relay to close and apply B+ to the windshield
wiper motor through the windshield wiper high speed control circuit, enabling high speed wiper operation.

Parking the wiper motor, the BCM monitors the park circuit until the park switch pulls the park circuit to
ground. At this time, the BCM will immediately deactivate the wiper motor on/off relay. The relay contacts will
switch back to their normally closed position and will apply ground to the wiper motor power inputs through
the normally closed contacts of the wiper high/low relay. This deactivates and dynamically brakes the wiper
motor in the park position. When the wiper switch is turned to the OFF position while the wiper motor is
somewhere in mid-cycle, the BCM will continue to operate the motor until the wipers reach the park position. If
the BCM is running the wiper motor and does not see a state transition of the park switch after 8 s, the wipers
will stop immediately when the wiper switch is turned to OFF. If the ignition is turned OFF while the wipers are
in mid-cycle, the wipers will stop immediately, regardless of position. The BCM will park the wipers next time
the ignition is turned ON.

The windshield wiper system MIST operation is identical to LOW speed operation, except that the MIST switch
is a press and release type switch. When the wiper switch is moved to the MIST position and released, low
speed wiper motor operation is started and will continue until 1 cycle is complete. If the wiper switch is moved
to the MIST position and held, the wiper motor will operate in the LOW speed mode until the switch is
released.

Windshield wiper intermittent operation is a low speed wiper motor function with a variable delay interval
between the wiper motor cycles. The duration of the delay is controlled by the front wiper control switch's
intermittent 1 thru intermittent 5 settings. The wiper operation is as follows

1. The BCM will initiate a single wipe by activating its front wiper ON/OFF relay output.
2. At the completion of a single wipe, the BCM will park the wipers as described above.
3. The BCM will then pause the wipers in their park position for the time duration associated with
intermittent delay switch setting.
4. When the delay time expires repeat Steps 1 and 3 until the system is turned off or taken out of intermittent
mode. If the wiper switch is moved from a longer delay interval to a shorter delay interval, the BCM will
command an immediate wipe cycle and reset the delay timer to the shorter delay interval.

Intermittent wiper operation may be vehicle speed sensitive. When enabled, the speed compensated intermittent
feature causes the intermittent wiper delay intervals to become shorter as a function of increased speed. As
vehicle speed is reduced the intervals will become closer to the predetermined

Windshield Washer System

The windshield washer pump is controlled by the body control module (BCM) via a printed circuit board (PCB)
relay. When the washer switch is depressed, the BCM monitors the Windshield Washer Switch signal circuit
from the Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch.The BCM then applies voltage through a control circuit to the PCB
windshield washer pump relay. With the relay energized, fused battery voltage is applied through the switch
contacts of the relay and the control circuit to activate the windshield washer pump. To initiate wash operation,
the Windshield Wiper/Washer switch should be pressed, causing the windshield washer to spray the washer
fluid into the windshield, and the wiper automatically starts wiping.

Rain Sense Mode and Rain Sense Indicator

The rain sensor communicates with the body control module (BCM) via serial data. When the ignition is in the
ON or ACCESSORY position and the windshield wiper/washer switch is in the intermittent delay position, the
BCM monitors the rain sensor data to determine the rain build up on the windshield. As rain builds up on the
windshield, the BCM will command the wipers to activate. The sensitivity of the wiper frequency is controlled
by the intermittent delay of the windshield wiper/washer switch. As the sensitivity is increased, the BCM will
command more frequent wiper activation based on rain build up on the windshield.

Headlamp Washer System

The headlamp washer pump is controlled by the body control module (BCM) via a removable relay. If the
headlamp lights are on, the BCM will activate the headlamp washer pump the first time and the windshield
washer pump is activated. After the initial headlamp washer activation, the BCM will only allow headlamp
washer function every 5 windshield washer cycles. When the headlamp washer function is requested by the
BCM's internal logic, it applies voltage through a control circuit to the headlamp washer pump relay. With the
relay energized, fused battery voltage is applied through the switch contacts of the relay and the control circuit
to activate the headlamp washer pump.

Rear Wiper System

79 of 84
On vehicles equipped with a Rear Wiper, the rear wiper system consists of the rear wiper relay and the rear
wiper motor. The BCM determines of the Rear Wipe/Wash System Mode of Operation (Intermittent, ON, OFF)
by monitoring the output of the Rear Wipe/Wash Switch. The rear wiper switch provides a request to the BCM.
The BCM activates the output and applies Battery to the coil of the relay, the relay energizes, allowing Battery
voltage from the fuse to be applied through the switched contacts of the Rear Wiper Motor Relay to the Rear
Wiper Motor. The rear wiper motor then operates continuously at low speed, uses a reference ground signal
from the BCM for the Rear Wiper/Washer Switch output signal it receives. The Rear Wiper/Washer signal
received by the BCM is the result of 3 resistors in the Rear Wiper Switch configured as a resistor ladder
network. This signal is connected to a BCM Analog to Digital Input which also provides a switched Battery
pull-up for the circuit. Depending on the function selected (Intermittent, ON, OFF, Wash), the Rear Wiper
Control Switch connects a different set of resistors into the circuit resulting in different voltages appearing on
the BCM A/D input. By monitoring this voltage, the BCM determines how to control the Rear Wiper Motor
Relay and the Rear Washer Relay.

The BCM does not control the parking of the Rear Wiper Motor, it is self parking. When the BCM deactivates
its output, the contacts of the Rear Wiper Motor Relay switch back to ground. The Rear Wiper's internal park
switch and circuitry will sustain motor operation until the wiper arm has returned to its Park position.
