Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Cadillac SRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The communication among control modules is performed through the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit, the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuit, the mid speed GMLAN serial data circuit, and the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit. The modules that need real time communication are attached to the high speed GMLAN network and the chassis high speed GMLAN network. The body control module (BCM) is the gateway between the networks. The purpose of the gateway is to translate serial data messages between the high speed GMLAN bus and the low speed GMLAN bus. The gateway will interact with each network according to that network's transmission protocol. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation for more information about the gateway.
