- Cellular Phone Microphone Circuit Open

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The telematics communication interface control module provides the cellular phone microphone with a supplied voltage on the cellular phone microphone signal circuit. When the microphone is in use, voice data from the user is sent back to the telematics communication interface control module on the signal circuit. The telematics communication interface control module provides a ground for the cellular phone microphone via the low reference wire.

Conditions for Running the DTC

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

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The telematics communication interface control module detects an open, short to ground or short to voltage in the cellular phone microphone signal circuit for 10 seconds or greater.
* The telematics communication interface control module detects an open/high resistance in the low reference circuit for 10 seconds or greater.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The OnStar(R) status LED turns red.
* The telematics communication interface control module will not receive a signal from the cellular phone microphone.
* Calls can be placed but the caller cannot be heard.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
* A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B24 cellular phone microphone.
2. Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, wait until all retained accessory power is OFF, test for less than 10 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 1 or A (depending on vehicle) and ground, allowing up to 5 minutes for the circuit resistance to drop to its lowest reading.

If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, test for 9.5-10.5 V between the signal circuit terminal 2 or B (depending on vehicle) and ground.

If less than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K73 telematics communication interface control module.
If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K73 telematics communication interface control module.

4. If all circuit test normal, replace the B24 cellular phone microphone.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
