Chevrolet U1510 code – serial data communications DTC.

The serial data is sent across a LIN (Local Interconnect Network) single-wire network circuit bus between a master control module and other LIN devices inside a certain subsystem.

A lost communication code will be assigned against the LIN device that isn’t communicating if serial data transmission fails between any two LIN devices connected to the LIN bus network.

The component that reports the lost communication code is a master control module. And since the master control module returns the DTC when serial data communication stops, it’s not damaged, the problem might be in non-communicating LIN devices.
