DTC P1502

|NOTE |

|Applicable vehicles: |

|Catera (VIN V) |

DTC P1502

Circuit Description

The ignition key contains a transponder that transmits a signal to the theft deterrent module when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The theft deterrent module compares the signal from the key and determines if an authorized key is being used. During this period, the engine control module (ECM) turns on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) by grounding the control circuit. The MIL control circuit is monitored by the theft deterrent module. When the theft deterrent module senses the voltage change from the ECM grounding the MIL control circuit, the theft deterrent module switches the signal on the VSS/theft deterrent signal circuit from the speed signal to send the frequency code to the ECM. The theft deterrent module sends the frequency code to the ECM on the same circuit used to transmit vehicle speed information to the ECM. The ECM compares the frequency code with the learned frequency code. If the frequency code sent by the theft deterrent module matches the frequency code programmed in the ECM, the ECM allows the engine to start. If the codes do not match, the ECM disables the injectors to prevent the engine from starting.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is cranking.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM has not received the frequency code from the theft deterrent module.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The ECM will not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

The engine will not start or may start and stall.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• The DTC clears after forty consecutive warm-up cycles if no failures report by this diagnostic or any other non-emission related diagnostic.

• The scan tool clears the MIL/DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

The theft deterrent module will diagnose an open, short to ground or a short to voltage on the VSS/theft deterrent signal circuit. Any faults on this circuit will set a DTC P1502 in the ECM. An inoperative theft deterrent module will also set a P1502. Refer to the diagnostic procedures in Theft Deterrent in order to diagnose these conditions.

Use the J 35616 connector test adapter kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a component harness connector.

Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems for the intermittents.

Theft Deterrent Circuits

The ignition key contains a transponder that transmits a signal to the theft deterrent module when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The theft deterrent module compares the signal from the key and determines if an authorized key is being used. During this period, the engine control module (ECM) turns on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) by grounding the control circuit. The MIL control circuit is monitored by the theft deterrent module. When the theft deterrent module senses the voltage change from the ECM grounding the MIL control circuit, the theft deterrent module switches the signal on the VSS/theft deterrent signal circuit from the speed signal to send the frequency code to the ECM. The theft deterrent module sends the frequency code to the ECM on the same circuit used to transmit vehicle speed information to the ECM. The ECM compares the frequency code with the learned frequency code. If the frequency code sent by the theft deterrent module matches the frequency code programmed in the ECM, the ECM allows the engine to start. If the codes do not match, the ECM disables the injectors to prevent the engine from starting.

The DTCs that apply to problems involving the exchange of data between the ECM and the theft deterrent module are as follows:

• DTC P1501--Theft Deterrent System

• DTC P1502--Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable Signal Not Received

• DTC P1503--Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable Signal Not Correct

|Trouble Code: U1255 (3.0L V6 VIN R Auto) |Print this code data[pic] |

|Generic Loss of Class 2 Data | |

Number of Trips to Set Code:   2

OBD II Monitor Type:  CCM Details

Indicators:  MIL Details

• PCM Details

• MIL Details

Trouble Code Conditions:

Key on or engine started, system voltage over 9.0v, then with the Scan Tool connected and powered up, a Could Not Communicate With The Class 2 Data Line" message is displayed. Modules connected to the Class 2 line monitor the data bus for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged between the modules. In addition, each module transmits Node Alive or State of Health messages on the data bus about once every two seconds. When the Body Control Module (BCM) and Radio Receiver do not detect any messages on the Class 2 line, U1255 is set.

Possible Causes: 

• Check the Scan Tool connection to the data link connector

• Verify that the Scan Tool works on another vehicle

• Check the Class 2 circuit for an intermittent short to ground

• Check for battery power at the data link connector (Pin 16)

• Check for main ground at the data link connector (Pins 4 and 5)
