P1626

Schematic:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A Class 2 Serial Data communications system is used on this vehicle in order to allow various modules to communicate and share information with each other. Each bit of information has one of two lengths:long or short. This allows for the reduction of the vehicle wiring and for the transmission and reception of multiple signals over a single wire. The messages carried on the Class 2 Serial Data stream are also prioritized. If two messages attempt to establish communications on the data line at the same time, the message with the higher priority will continue. The message with the lower priority message will wait. All modules on the Class 2 Serial Data line send out a periodic identifier message. The PCM is listening for the identifier messages from the EBCM and the Body Control Module (BCM) as well as an echo of the PCM identifier message. If a module cannot respond to the PCM, a DTC is stored.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The PCM has lost communication with the BCM after the PCM received a Theft Passed message from the BCM.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM will record operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information will store in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records buffers.
^ A history DTC stores.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm up cycles without a fault.
^ A scan tool can clear the DTCs.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Attempting to start the vehicle by bypassing the Passlock II system or by substituting parts without performing the Password Learn Procedure may set a DTC P1631 and a P1632.

If no password is received, a DTC U1064 and P1632 may be set.

An intermittent may be caused by one or more of the following conditions:
^ A poor connection
^ A rubbed through wire insulation
^ A wire broken inside the insulation

Thoroughly check any suspected circuitry for the following items:
^ Backed out terminals or improper mating
^ Broken locks
^ Improperly formed or damaged terminals
^ Poor terminal to wiring connections
^ Physical damage to the wiring harness
^ Corrosion

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
1. The Powertrain OBD System Check prompts you to complete some of the basic checks and to store the Freeze Frame and Failure Records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data captured when the fault occurred. The scan tool stores this data for later reference.
2. A scan tool that cannot display the PCM data indicates that a short exists on the Serial Data circuit.
4. Because of the internal link of the Serial Data circuits within the PCM, it is necessary to disconnect the PCM electrical connector in order to determine which serial data circuit or the module that the short is in.
6. Reprogram the replacement PCM and perform the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn Procedure.
7. If the Serial Data circuit to the body control module (BCM) was not open, this indicates that the serial communication loss to the PCM lies within the BCM.
8. If the Serial Data loss occurred after a good theft password has been received, the PCM will allow the vehicle to start on following attempts. After making the necessary repairs to the vehicle, reprogram the replacement PCM and complete the Password Learn Procedure and the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure in order to allow the theft system to operate properly.
9. If no malfunctions are present at this point and no additional DTCs were set, refer to Diagnostic Aids for additional checks and information.
