6. If equipped, ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the communication enable circuit terminal OR the accessory wakeup
circuit terminal and ground.
瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
7. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 5 ohm between the serial data circuit terminals and the appropriate DLC terminal listed below:
* Class 2 serial data circuit terminal 2
* Low speed GMLAN serial data terminal 1
* High speed GMLAN serial data terminal 6 or 14
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for an open/high resistance between the non communicating control module
and a control module setting the DTC or a serial data splice pack.
8. If all circuits test normal, replace the control module that is not communicating.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
* GMLAN Wiring Repairs (See: Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/General Electrical Diagnostic
Procedures/Wiring Repairs/GMLAN Wiring Repairs)
* Control Module References (See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning) for control module replacement, setup, and
programming

Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System
Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an
overview of the diagnostic approach.

DTC Descriptor
DTC U186A
- Lost Communication With Transfer Case Control Module
Circuit/System Description
Modules connected to the serial data circuits monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and
commands are exchanged among the modules. The modules have prerecorded information about what messages are needed to be exchanged on the
serial data circuits, for each virtual network. The messages are supervised and also, some periodic messages are used by the receiver module as an
availability indication of the transmitter module. Each message contains the identification number of the transmitter module.
Conditions for Running the DTCs
* The system voltage is between 9-16 volts.
* The vehicle power mode master indicates that the need for serial data communications.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
A supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter module availability has not been received.
Action Taken When the DTCs Sets
The modules is never signaled, therefore the specific subsystems will not function.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC clears when the malfunction is no longer present.
* A history DTC clears when the module ignition cycle counter reaches the reset threshold, without a repeat of the malfunction.
