Hey boatmoter! Your Silverado uses a Class 2 network (pin 2 at the DLC) for all module communications. Not sure why Mitchell said anything about DLC pins 6 or 14...

The IPC and the VCM both use the same network, so if your scan tool can talk to them, then the network is at least partially intact. You'll need to check voltage on the Class 2 pin at the BCM and compare it to pin #2 at the DLC, key on engine off. If the voltage is the same, then the network is fine and you have a BCM problem. If the voltage is different, there's a network problem.

Class 2 at the BCM is a green wire, pin A12 of connector C1:
