Class 2 serial data components
Hi,
After going through the GM Manual, I'm under the impression that the class 2 serial data components are in fact set up in parallel.
Is this a fair statement?

Actually, the class 2 bus (a serial bus, not parallel) is set up in a classic star configuration.

I'm not sure what's being stated. GM's "Class 2" is their version of SAE J1850, which is a serial digital interface. Data comes down the wire a bit at a time.

I understand that it is serial bus, my question is how the components are connected to this bus.
You can have a serial communication bus were the components are daisy chained - or mounted serially (in which case the failure of a component will disconnect other components from the bus).
You can have a serial communication bus where components are mounted in parallel (or star configuration, which ever denomination makes you happy), in which caase the failure of one component will not affect others.
My understanding is that the components in the Class 1 serial bus (requiring real-time connectivity) are mounted in a serial manner (daisy chained) whereas those in the class 2 serial bus are in a star/parallel connection.
For example, those who desired to remove the OnStar module had to connect the in link with out link in order to ensure functionality of the class 1 bus where as the SLCM can just be removed from the bus, other components will continue to function.
