  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the Network Test.

Does the GWM pass the Network Test?

Yes GO to H2
No DIAGNOSE the GWM does not respond to the scan tool,
REFER to: Communications Network (418-00 Module Communications Network, Diagnosis and Testing).


H2   RECHECK THE RTM (RADIO TRANSCEIVER MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the RTM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
  • Ignition OFF.
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the RTM self-test.

Is DTC U0146:00 retrieved again?

Yes GO to H3
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.


H3   RETRIEVE ALL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A)
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the GWM self-test.

Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCS) present in the GWM ?

Yes DIAGNOSE the GWM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCS).
REFER to: Communications Network (418-00 Module Communications Network, Diagnosis and Testing).
No GO to H4


H4   CHECK FOR DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE) U0146:00 SET IN OTHER MODULES
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the self-test to retrieve all Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs) from all modules.

Is DTC set in 1 or more modules in addition to the RTM ?

Yes CHECK On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new GWM .
REFER to: Gateway Module A (GWM) (418-00 Module Communications Network, Removal and Installation).
No CHECK On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new RTM .
REFER to: Radio Transceiver Module (RTM) (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Removal and Installation).



U1A00:00

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

With the ignition ON, the BCM and the RTM communicate using a single circuit, private communication bus. If the RTM is unable to communicate with the BCM using this bus, the RTM sets a DTC .



  DTC Fault Trigger Conditions


DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
U1A00:00 Private Communication Network: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets in continuous memory if the RTM communication bus reset counter reaches zero. This is most likely due to a circuit failure in the communication bus, an internal failure of the BCM or an internal failure of the RTM .


Possible Sources


PINPOINT TEST I : U1A00:00
I1   CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the Network Test.

Do the RTM and the BCM pass the Network Test?

Yes GO to I2
No DIAGNOSE the RTM or BCM does not respond to the scan tool,
REFER to: Communications Network (418-00 Module Communications Network, Diagnosis and Testing).


I2   CHECK FOR BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the BCM self-test.

Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present in the BCM ?

Yes
REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Diagnosis and Testing).
No GO to I3


I3   CHECK THE COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
  • Ignition OFF.
  • Disconnect BCM C2280G .
  • Disconnect RTM C9050 .
  • Measure:


    Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2280G-26   Ground



Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

Yes GO to I4
No REPAIR the circuit.


I4   CHECK THE COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
  • Measure:


    Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C2280G-26   C9050-2



Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?

Yes GO to I5
No REPAIR the circuit.


I5   CHECK THE COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
  • Connect BCM C2280G .
  • Ignition ON.
  • Measure:


    Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C9050-2   Ground



Is a steady voltage greater than 3 volts present?

Yes REPAIR the circuit.
No GO to I6


I6   CHECK FOR CORRECT RTM (RADIO TRANSCEIVER MODULE) OPERATION
  • Inspect the RTM electrical connector.
  • Repair:
    • corrosion (install new connector or terminal - clean module pins)
    • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
    • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
  • Connect RTM C9050 .
  • Make sure the connector seats and latches correctly, then operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes CHECK On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new RTM .
REFER to: Radio Transceiver Module (RTM) (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Removal and Installation).
No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
