• 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.

The devices connected to the powertrain high speed CAN serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the devices when the ignition switch is in any position other than OFF. The powertrain high speed CAN serial data bus uses terminating resistors that are in parallel with the powertrain high speed CAN (+) and (−) circuits.

• The system voltage is between 9–16 V.
• The vehicle power mode requires serial data communications.

A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability has not been received for more than 450 ms.
