In many cases, a CCM error about "loss of serial data" turns out to be a problem with the ECM, not the CCM.
The CCM requests data from the ECM over the serial-link between them; after about three tries to get the data from the ECM without success, the CCM sets the error code.
The CCM is probably functioning properly because it is recognizing the problem.
The ECM is blissfully unaware there is a problem, even though the ECM is the problem.
The '92 and '93 ECM is notorious for this problem.
