DTC Descriptor
DTC B2455 00: Cellular Phone Microphone Circuit
Circuit/System Description
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) provides the cellular microphone with a supplied voltage on the cellular microphone signal circuit. When the microphone is in use, voice data from the user is sent back to the VCIM on the signal circuit.
The VCIM provides a ground for the microphone via the drain circuit.
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, short to ground or short to voltage in the cellular microphone signal circuit for 10 seconds or greater. |
| • | The VCIM detects an open/high resistance in the drain wire circuit for 10 seconds or greater. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The OnStar® status LED turns red. |
| • | The VCIM will not receive any 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 clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF. Disconnect the harness connector at the cellular microphone.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between terminal A and ground.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the drain wire circuit for an open/high resistance. |
- 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 VCIM. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the VCIM. |
- If all circuits test normal, replace the cellular microphone.
