Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, 2004 GMC Envoy XL, 2004 GMC Envoy, and 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Lack of communication may be due to a partial malfunction of the Class 2 serial data circuit or to a total malfunction of the Class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure determines the particular condition.
  2. 3:  This step checks for a fuse failure, which causes no communication.
  3. 4:  This step determines if the fuse blows when the ignition is turned on.
  4. 5:  This step determines if there is a short to ground in the battery positive circuit, causing the fuse to blow.
  5. 6:  This step refers to DTC C0306 diagnostic table for further diagnosis, if a transfer case mode change is causing the fuse to blow.
  6. 7:  The presence of DTCs indicates that the transfer case shift control module has detected a fault. Go to symptoms for other concerns.
  7. 8:  The presence of DTCs which begin with "U" indicate some other module is not communicating. The specified procedure compiles all the available information before tests are performed.
  8. 9:  Vehicle speed is provided to the transfer case shift control module via Class 2 and can effect the setting of DTC C0300. Perform the diagnostics for powertrain DTCs P0502 and P0503 first.
  9. 10:  Perform diagnostics for DTC C0300 and C0305 first before addressing other DTCs. DTC C0300 and C0305 can be responsible for setting other DTCs.
