Communication and Hosted Diagnostics

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Yukon, 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2009 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In addition to the internal SPI bus communication circuit between the HPCM and each MCM, the MCMs also communicate on the Hi-speed and Hybrid GMLAN communication circuits. The MCM does not store its own diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information. The HPCM will store MCM associated DTC information for retrieval by a scan tool. The scan tool can communicate directly with each MCM in order to retrieve data parameters only.
