Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Sunfire and 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When a malfunction such as a open fuse to a module occurs while modules are communicating, a Loss of XXX Communication DTC is set as current. When the modules stop communicating, ignition is turned off, the current Loss of XXX Communication DTC is cleared but the history DTC remains. When the modules begin to communicate again, the ignition is turned on, the module with the open fuse will not be learned by the other modules so DTC U1000 or U1255 is set current by the other modules. If the malfunction occurs when the modules are not communicating, only DTC U1000 or U1255 is set.
