What Does the U1000 Saturn Code Mean?

Modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit monitor for serial data communications during normal vehicle operation. Operating information and commands are exchanged among the modules. When a module receives a message for a critical operating parameter, the module records the identification number of the module which sent the message for State of Health monitoring. A critical operating parameter is one which, when not received, requires that the module use a default value for that parameter. When a module does not associate an identification number with at least one critical parameter within 5 seconds of beginning serial data communication, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U1000 is set. When more than one critical parameter does not have an identification number associated with it, the DTC will only be reported once.

The class 2 serial data line on this vehicle is a star configuration, with the Body Control Module (BCM) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) each have a second class 2 serial data line between them. The following modules communicate on the class 2 serial data line:
- Audio amplifier
- Body control module (BCM)
- Cellular telephone module w/UV8
- Dash integration module (DIM)
- Digital Radio Receiver (DRR)
- Driver Door Module (DDM)
- Driver Seat Module (DSM)
- Driver Door Switch Assembly (DDSA)
- Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM)
- Electronic Suspension Control Module (ESC)
- Front Passenger Door Module (FPDM)
- Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
- HVAC control module
- Hybrid Control Module (HCM)
- Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
- Powertrain/Engine Control Module (PCM/ECM)
- Radio
- Rear Seat Audio (RSA) Controller
- Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) Assembly
- Rear Wheel Steering Control Module (RWSCM)
- Remote playback device-CD player (CDX)
- Transfer case shift control module (TCSCM)
- Transmission control module (TCM)
- Vehicle communication interface module (VCIM)
