TRNW-2: 6t40 can bus diagnosing

[Fred Whitaker]

 Going by the way things "should be". The way I see it I agree a break in the 2 wires  according to the picture. But the odds of a break in just those 2 wires sure isn't very high.   I don't understand  the missing part about the wires going back to pins 6 and 8. I am also not understanding what Chris is saying about M8 and M9?
 I would think the Bus on the Tehcm would use the same terminals no matter the rpo code,and something isn't adding up.
 I also think you would have problems communicating with other modules if wires were open. Because the schematic clearly shows  terminal resistors in the engine control module.  Without the resistors there could be no communication in the other modules on the bus. If you go by that train of thought. The schematic is wrong,or we are misinterpreting it.

Subject: TRNW-2: 6t40 can bus diagnosing

Hello all,
I am working on a 14 Chevy Cruze 1.8 engine. I am chasing a loss of communication of both the transmission and engine control module. I struggle when it comes to testing wiring on the can bus lines, I just don’t have enough experience with it. I’m determine to figure this one of for a learning experience. I have included a diagram of some wiring I am testing, and I have continuity between pin 29 and 6 and 43 and 14, but I do not have continuity between 29 and 7 and 43 and 8. The diagram cuts off, but the mf3/mz0 squares just loop around the tcm and back into the wires 6 and 8 of the tcm.  Would I be thinking right that I have a break in the 2 bus wires 29 and 7, and 43 and 8 that is causing my no communication?
Thanks for any help.
Justin
