UART Serial Data
2001 Chevrolet Lumina V6-3.1L VIN JSECTION UART Serial Data
Two methods of data transmission are used. One method involves a Universally Asynchronous Receiving/transmitting (UART) protocol. UART is an interfacing device that allows the on-board computer to send and receive serial data. Serial data refers to information which is transferred in a linear fashion over a single line, one bit at a time. A data bus is the electronic pathway through which serial data travels. The UART receives data in a serial format, converts the data into a parallel format, and places the data on the data bus (which is recognizable to the on-board computer). This method had been the common strategy for establishing a communication link between the on-board control module and the off-board monitor/scanner since 1981. UART is sometimes used to communicate between modules within the vehicle.
