GMLAN Low Speed Circuit Description
The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The serial data is transmitted over a single wire to the appropriate control modules. Under normal vehicle operating conditions, the speed of the buss is 33.33 Kb/s. This protocol produces a simple pulse train sent out over the GMLAN low speed serial data bus. When a module pulls the buss high, 5 volts, this creates a logic state of 0 on the buss. When the buss is pulled low, 0 volts, it is translated as a logic state of 1. To wake the control modules connected to the GMLAN low speed serial data buss, a wake up signal is sent out over the buss. Modules connected to the GMLAN low speed buss can be part of a virtual network as described in GMLAN High Speed Circuit Description above. The modules on the GMLAN low speed serial data buss are connected to the buss using several splice or "star" connectors separating groups of modules. The following lists state the splices and modules connected to the low speed serial data circuits:
I/P Splice
- Data link connector (DLC), connected only to the instrument panel (I/P) splice
- Amplifier (Amp)
- Rear seat audio (RSA)
- Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
- Digital radio receiver (DRR)
- Inside rearview mirror module (ISRVM), connected through the mid I/P fuse block
- Instrument panel cluster (IPC)
- Body control module (BCM)
- Theft deterrent module (TDM)
- Heater ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
- Radio
- Driver door switch (DDS), connected through the left I/P fuse block
- Passenger door switch (PDS), connected through the right I/P fuse block
Body Splice
