Code B334, Loss Of ECM Data: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Buick Riviera and 1992 Buick Riviera. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Code B334 will set if communication between ECM and BCM is lost. If the ECM remains powered and only serial communication is lost, the vehicle will still run; however, with ignition key on (engine not running), an ELECTRICAL PROBLEM message will illuminate.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.

If the ECM looses power or ground, code will set since ECM cannot communicate. It is important to note that engine will not start.
Since prior checks eliminated an open circuit, fault is poor terminal contact at ECM terminal 1C2 or 1D1, a faulty MEM-CAL connection or a faulty ECM.
