DTC Descriptor
DTC B2455 04
- Cellular Phone Microphone Circuit Malfunction Open Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The communication interface module (CIM) 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 CIM on the signal circuit. The CIM provides a ground for the microphone via the low reference circuit.

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.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The CIM detects an open, short to ground or short to voltage in the cellular phone microphone signal circuit for 10 seconds or greater.
* The CIM detects an open/high resistance in the drain wire circuit for 10 seconds or greater.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

* The OnStar(R) status LED turns red.
* The CIM will not receive a signal from the 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. Test for less than 10 Ohms between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.

• 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 B 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 CIM.
• If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM.

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

Repair Instructions

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