DTC B2482

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The OnStar(R) button assembly consists of three buttons, Call/Answer, OnStar(R) Call Center and OnStar(R) Emergency. Ten volts is supplied to the button assembly on the keypad supply voltage circuit. Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resister allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) on the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the VCIM is able to identify which button has been pressed.
