Part 1 Of 2:

Part 2 Of 2:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The serial data communications circuits (CKT 1122, CKT1132 and CKT 1049) is used to transmit messages from one electronic control module to another when interface is necessary between systems. The ABS/ETS/TCS systems depends on information to and from the PCM for proper operation.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
DTC U1300 sets when there is a short to ground on the Serial Data Line for four seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ A malfunction Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) stores.
^ The ETS/TCS disables.
^ The amber ETS/TCS OFF indicator (TRAC OFF) turns on.

The ABS remains functional. No action towards the electronic brake control relay and ABS warning indicator is taken.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exits and the Scan Tool Clear DTCs function is used.
^ 100 drive cycles pass with no DTCs detected.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Before beginning this DTC table, perform a Powertrain OBD System Check in order to eliminate the PCM as the possible source of the malfunction. The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
^ A poor connection
^ Rubbed-through wire insulation
^ A broken wire inside the insulation within the Serial Data Line. Refer to Data Link Connector.

Use the enhanced diagnostic function of the Scan Tool in order to measure the frequency of the malfunction. Refer to the Scan Tool manual for the procedure.

Thoroughly inspect any circuitry that may cause the intermittent complaint for the following conditions:
^ Backed out terminals
^ Improper mating
^ Broken locks
^ Improperly formed or damaged terminals
^ Poor terminal-to-wiring connections
^ Physical damage to the wiring harness.
