Diagnostic Aids
- The following conditions may cause an intermittent: Intermittent open or short in serial data line, intermittent loss of communication with LDCM, or damaged or loose star connector terminals.
- If serial data line is shorted to ground or voltage, all systems connected to same serial data line will not be capable of communicating properly. Systems capable of storing loss of communication DTCs will store these codes in their memory. After DTC U1160 is repaired, clear all DTCs from each system capable of storing this DTC.
- If DTC U1160 is set in IPC memory, use a scan tool to monitor communications with LDCM. If IPC loses communication with LDCM at any time, DTC U1160 is stored in IPC. Test drive vehicle to aid in diagnosing an intermittent condition. Check for open in serial data line between only IPC and LDCM. Also check IPC and LDCM for intermittent operation due to a loss of power or ground.
