DTC U1000 Class 2 Serial Data Link Malfunction (Part 2 Of 2):

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the ID number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring (Node Alive messages). A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an ID number with at least one critical parameter within about five seconds of beginning serial data communication, DTC U1000 or DTC U1255 is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an ID number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
At least one critical operating parameter has not been associated with an ID number within about five seconds after beginning serial data communication.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The module uses a default value for the missing parameter.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ A current U1000 or U1255 will clear when all critical operating parameters for the module have been associated with an ID number or at the end of the current ignition cycle.
^ A history U1000 or U1255 will clear upon receipt of a scan tool CLEAR DTCs command.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
When a malfunction (such as a blown fuse to a module) occurs while modules are communicating, a Loss of Communication DTC is set as current. When the modules stop communicating (ignition is turned off) the current Loss of Communication DTC is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the module with the blown fuse will not be learned by the other modules so U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only U1000 or U1255 is set.
