1 General Information
The MY 2006 WL is fitted with a new powertrain interface module (PIM). The most significant changes that have been
made to the PIM are as follows:
• Communication protocol between the engine control module (ECM), transmission control module (TCM) and the
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the Antilock Braking and Traction Control System, is General Motors Lo cal Area
Network (GM LAN) .
• ECM to PIM and PIM to body control module (BCM) authentication for vehicle security.
• Cruise control switch functions input directly into the PIM.
• Traction control enable/disable switch inputs directly into the PIM.
1.1 General Description
Serial Data Communication
The various electronic control modules integrated into the MY2006 WL vehicle communicate with each other through the
serial data bus. The ECM, TCM and ABS-TCS ECU communicate on the serial data bus using the GM LAN
communication protocol, whilst the BCM communic ates with the instrument cluster, Audio Head Unit (AHU) and
Occupant Protection System Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) using the Universal Asynchronous Receiv e and
Transmit (UART) communicat ion protocol. Figure 6E4 – 2 shows the serial data layout.
The PIM is integrated into the serial dat a network and acts as a transparent bi-directional translation device that enables
the control modules on the GM LAN serial data bus to communicate with control modules on the UART serial data bus.
For further information on the UART serial data bus, refer to Section 12J Body Control Module.
Bus
A bus is a physical circuit or circuits which provides a communication path between two or more control modules.
UART Serial Data Bus
UART communication uses a single wire circuit. For further information on the UART serial data bus, refer to
Section 12J Body Control Module.
GM LAN Serial Data Bus
The GM LAN bus is a two wire circuit (1), refer to Figure 6E4 – 1. The GM LAN bus circuits are terminated with cut-off
resistors (2) which are locate d inside the two control modules at either end of the bus circuit. The purpose of these cut - off
resistors is to prevent data from returning as an echo after reaching the end of the GM LAN bus circu it.
NOTE
For illustration purposes, the cut-off resistors are
shown outside of the control modules.
The two control modules with the cut-off resistors
are the PIM and the ECM.

Serial Data
When information is sent from one control module to another via the serial data bus, the information sent is known as
serial data. Serial data in its electronic form, is made up of rapi dly changing high to lo w voltage pu lses strung together.
Each string of voltage pulses represents a message.
• GM LAN serial data has two data lines along which serial data is sent. These lines are kno wn as CAN HI and CAN
LO.
• CAN HI – The CAN HI data line is a 3.6 V data line that toggles the voltage between 2.5 V and 3.6 V
(referenced to ground). When there is no communication on the CAN HI data line, the system voltage
is 2.5 V.
• CAN LO – The CAN LO data line is a 2.5 V data line that toggles the voltage between 2.5 V and 1.4 V
(referenced to ground). When there is no communication on the CAN LO data line, the system voltage
is 2.5 V.
• UART serial data is a single 5 V data line that toggles the voltage to ground. When there is no communication on
the data line, the system voltage is 5 V.
Serial Data Communication Protocols
General Motors Local Area Network (GM LAN)
GM LAN is a communication protocol based on the Controller Area Network physical layer. The main difference between
GM LAN and CAN is the way in which the messages are structured. It is a broadcast communications channel, not
master / slave like UART.
Universal Asynchronous Receive and Transmit (UART)
UART is a communication pro t ocol that has a master module which controls the message traffic on the serial data bus.
The body control module (BCM) is the UART bus master in the MY 2006 WL. The main difference between
GM LAN and UART protocol is that UART relies on the bus master to control the messaging, where as with GM LAN, the
messaging is managed b y each of the control modules.

Operation
3.1 Pow ertrain Interface Module
The powertrain interface module (PIM) is located on the
driver's instrument panel outer bracket and is accessible by
lowering the instrument panel lower trim panel assembly.
Figure 6E4 – 5
Communication Gateway
The PIM performs the following functions:
• The PIM Acts as the communication gate way between the GM LAN communications protocol and the Universal
Asynchronous Receive and Transmit (UART) protocol.
As the GM LAN protocol is not compatible with UART, the PIM is integrated into the serial data commu nication
system to enable bi-directional communication flow between control modules on the UART side and the GM LAN
side of the communication net work.
• The PIM converts analogue signals from the cruise control, traction control switches and crank request from the
ignition switch into digital serial data.
• The PIM is responsible for au thenticating the body control module (BCM) prior to the engine control module (ECM)
authenticating the PIM. If any of these authentication processes fail, the vehicl e will not start. For further information
on the theft deterrent system, refer to Section 12J Body Control Module.
• The PIM provides crank request to the ECM to allow cranking.

3.2 Pow ertrain Interface Module Gateway
Components
The following components use the PIM to communicate between the UART and GM LAN communication protocol:
Engine Control Module
The ECM is located in the engine com partment on the
left-hand front wheelhouse panel.
The ECM communicates directly with the transmission
control module (TCM), ABS-TCS ECU and PIM via the
serial data network. The ECM, via the PIM, also
communicates with the BCM and instrument cluster.
The ECM is also an integral part of the vehicle security
system. For further information on vehicle security, refer to
Section 12J Body Control Module.
Figure 6E4 – 6
ABS-TCS Electronic Control Unit
The ABS-TCS ECU is located in the engine compartment
adjacent to the right-hand front wheelho use liner.
The primary role of the ABS-TCS is to efficiently control the
vehicle's braking and traction control operation. To
effectively do this, the ECU of the ABS-TCS communicates
with other vehicle systems such as the engin e mana gement
and automatic transmission systems.
This information exchange is achieved by connecting the
various system control modules via the serial data network.
For further information on the serial data network, refer to
1 General Information.
Figure 6E4 – 7
Body Control Module
The body control module (BCM) is mounted horizontally
behind the instrument panel compartment.
The BCM controls various vehicle electrica l systems, and is
an integral part of the serial data communication network.
The BCM communicates with other vehicle modules using
the Universal Asynchronous R eceive and Transmit (UART)
serial data protocol.
The BCM is connected to the PIM and the data link
connector (DLC) via the primary serial data circuit. The BCM
communicates via this circuit with the ECM, TCM and the
ABS-TCS ECU.
Refer to Section 12J Body Control Module for further
information on:
• serial data communication, a nd
• theft deterrent system.
Figure 6E4 – 8
Powertrain Interface Module Page 6E4–13
Page 6E4–13
Automatic Transmission Control Module
The transmission control module (T CM) is located behind
the left-hand lower hinge pillar trim.
The TCM's primary role is to efficientl y control transmission
shift points according to current driving and vehicle
operating conditions. To effectively do this, the TCM
requires information from other vehicl e systems such as the
engine management and automatic transmission systems.
This information exchanged is achieved by connecting the
various system control modules via the serial data network.
For further information on the serial data network, refer to
1 General Information.

3.3 Pow ertrain Interface Module Direct Input
Switches
The following switches are dir ect wired to the PIM. These switches use the PIM to convert their input signals into serial
data, which is then used by the various vehicle control modules to perform varying functions.
Traction Control System Switch
The traction control system (TCS) switch is located at the
rear of the floor console.
The TCS switch is a momentary contact switch that enables
or disables the traction control system. The TCS switch
inputs directly into the PIM. When the TCS switch is
pressed, the PIM sends a message on the serial data bus to
the ABS-TCS ECU. Refer to Section 5B ABS-TCS for
further information on the ABS-TCS.
Figure 6E4 – 10
Cruise Control Switch
The cruise control switch is located on th e right-hand side of
the steering column.
The switch is comprised of three momentary contact
switches which control the follo wing function s:
• cruise control push button switch (ON / OFF /
CANCEL),
• cruise control resume – accelerate (RES–ACCEL),
and
• cruise control set – decelerate (SET–DECEL).
The cruise control ON / OFF / CANCEL switch directly
inputs into the PIM. For further information on the cruise
control system, refer to Section 12E Cruise Control. Figure 6E3 – 11

4 Diagnostics
4.1 Diagnostic General Descriptions
The powertrain interface module (PIM) diagnostic procedure is organised in a logical structure that beg ins with the PIM
Main Diagnostic Table. The Main Diagnostic T able directs the diag nostic procedure to the logical steps or appro priate
diagnostic table required to diagnose a PIM fault condition.
The diagnostic tables locate a faulty circuit or component through a logical based process of elimination. Correct use of
the diagnostic tables is essential to reduce di agnostic time and to prevent misdiagnosis.
In addition, the Main Diagnostic Table provides the following information:
• Identification of the PIM,
• condition of the diagnostic circuit, and
• identification and status of the DTCs if present.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Tables
The diagnostic procedure is directed to a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) table if there are DTCs currently stored in the
PIM.
The diagnostic tables are designed to locate a faulty circuit or component through a logical based process of elimination.
The diagnostic tables are developed with the follo wing assumptions:
• the vehicle functioned correctly at the time of assembly,
• there are no multiple faults, and
• the problem currently exists.
Multiple DTCs
When performing a DTC check and there are multiple DTCs, the diag nostic process must begin with the most likely DTC
that may trigger other DTCs. The following situation is an exampl e of a DT C that may trigger other vehicle system DTCs
to set.
• If there is an open circuit condition with the CAN HI circuit between the ABS-TCS ECU and the engine control
module (ECM), DTC U2105 Loss of Communications from ECM may set. This condition may also cause the
following DTCs to set in other control modules:
• Instrument cluster – DTC 11 No Serial Data from the ECM.
• ABS-TCS – DTC U2105 Lost Communication with the ECM.
• Transmission Control Module (TCM) – DTC U2105 Lost Communicati on with the ECM.
• Body Control Module (BCM) – DTC 7 No Serial Data from the ECM.
Knowledge of the PIM and TECH 2 limitations are importa nt to reduce diagnostic time and to prevent misdiagnosis.
Refer to 5.1 Diagnostic Requirements, Prec autions and Preliminary Tests.
Powertrain Interface Module Page 6E4–16
Page 6E4–16
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
When the ignition s witch is turned on, the PIM performs an internal integrity check that detects and isolates any internal
faults. The PIM also monitors the cruise control and traction control switch circuit and the serial data bus for messages
from the control modules on the GM LAN bus and from the BCM on the UA RT bus. If a fault is detected by the PIM, it will
log a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that represents the fault detected. The DTCs stored in the PIM may be accessed
using TECH 2. Refer to Section 0C TECH 2 for further information on TECH 2.
Status of DTCs
The PIM designates the DT Cs logged into a Current or History DTC.
Current DTCs
If the fault condition that triggers the DTC is present during the last PIM self test, that DTC will be designated as a current
DTC.
History DTCs
If the fault condition that triggers the DTC is not present during the last PIM self test, that DTC will be designated as a
history DTC.

TECH 2 PIM Diagnostic Tests
NOTE
Refer to Section 0C TECH 2 and the TECH 2
Users Manual for detailed information and
instructions regarding the use of TECH 2
Limitations
Some DTCs trigger other DTCs to set, which causes TECH 2 to display multiple DTCs. In those situations, TECH 2 may
display more DT Cs than is neede d to rectify a fault.
When TECH 2 displays an output function, it displays onl y the comma nd given by the PIM. If a connector is
disconnected, that fault will not register in the PIM output function. TECH 2 does not verify the command action.
The service technician must understand t he system being diagnosed as well as the correct use and limitations of TECH
2 to be able to perform diagnostic procedures efficiently and successfully.
TECH 2 Intermittent Fault Tests
The following are lists of TECH 2 diagnostic tests that ma y be used to diagnose intermittent faults:
• Wiggle test the suspected PIM wiring harness and connector while observing TECH 2 operating parameters of the
circuit being tested. If TECH 2 read-out fluctuates during this procedure, check the wiring harness circuit for loose
connection.
• Road test the vehicle in conditions that trigger the intermittent fault while an assistant observes the suspected
TECH 2 operating parameter data.
• Capture and store data in the Snapshot mode when the fault occurs. The stored data may be replayed at a slower
rate to aid in diagnostics. Refer to TECH 2 User Instructio ns for more information on the Snapshot function.
• Operate suspected components to test their operation using TECH 2 Output Control Data.

• Do not touch the PIM connector pins or soldered components on the PIM circuit board to prevent possible
Electrostatic Discharge damage.
• To avoid wiring connector ter m inal damage, always use suitable wiring harness test leads (such as those in Tool
No, J35616) when performing tests on the PIM wiring connector.
• The PIM is extremely sensitive to Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Ensure that the PIM wiring harness is routed
correctly and securely fitted to mounting clips when performing service procedures.
• Due to the sensitive nature of the PIM circuitry, specific wiring repair procedures have been developed. These
procedures and instructions ar e detailed in Section 12P Wiri ng Diagrams and are the only recommended and
approved wiring repair methods.
• Ensure that all wiring harness connectors are seated correctly.
• Never disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system while the engine is run ning.
• Always disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system before ch arging.
• Do not use a fast charger for starting the vehicle.
• Ensure the battery cable terminals ar e secure.

10 PIM Security and Programming
10.1 Security and Programming Information
Vehicle Security Card
When performing certain powertrain interface module (PIM)
programming functions using TECH 2, you may be
prompted to enter a four digit Security Code (1) and /or
BCM six digit Security Number (2). This information is found
on the vehicle security card issued with the vehicle when
new. If the card is unavailable, contact the Hold en Technical
Assistance (TAS) centre to obtain the relevant Security
Code and BCM security number.
Figure 6E4 – 26
Security Code
The security code is required when performing certain PIM, BCM and EC M programming functions. When TECH 2
requests the security code to be entered, and an incorrect code is entered, the PIM will go into a security wait time stage.
This wait time stage will prevent any further attempts to enter the securit y code until the wait time has elapsed.
Should a second incorrect se curity code be entered after the initial wait time has elapsed, the PIM will go into a second
wait time stage. The wait time will increase each time an incorrect code is entered. When the correct code is entered the
wait time will reset back to its original value of 10 seconds.
NOTE
The ignition switch must be in the ON position
with the battery connected during the wait time
period.
The wait time stages are as follows:
• Stage 1 = 10 seconds.
• Stage 2 = 10 seconds.
• Stage 3 = 10 minutes.
• Stage 4 = 20 minutes.
• Stage 5 = 40 minutes.
• Stage 6 = 80 minutes.
