DTC Descriptor

DTC B2455 00
- Cellular Phone Microphone Circuit

Circuit/System Description

The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) detects that the cellular microphone is connected through the cellular microphone signal circuit and the drain wire.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition must be in the RUN or ACC position.
* The system voltage is at least 9.5 volts and no more than 15.5 volts.
* All the above conditions are present for greater than 10 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The VCIM detects an open in the drain wire circuit or a short to voltage in the cellular microphone signal circuit.
* The above conditions are present for greater than 10 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The VCIM will not receive any signal from the microphone.
* Calls can be placed but the caller cannot be heard.
* The OnStar(R) status LED turns red.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The VCIM detects the microphone connected for 5 consecutive 100 millisecond cycles.
* A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.
* The VCIM receives the clear DTC command from the scan tool.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the inside rear view mirror harness connector.
2. Ignition ON, test for less than 9.5 volts at the cellular signal circuit terminal 10.

If greater than the specified value, repair short to voltage.

3. Ignition OFF, test for greater than 1 ohm between the cellular signal circuit terminal 10 and ground.

If less than specified value, repair short to ground.

4. Disconnect C2 VCIM harness connector.
5. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the inside rear view mirror harness connector terminal 2 and VCIM harness connector terminal 10.

If greater than the specified value, repair open/high resistance.

6. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the inside rear view mirror harness connector terminal 10 and VCIM harness connector terminal 9.

If greater than the specified value, repair open/high resistance.

7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inside rear view mirror.
