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® 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 harness connector at the cellular microphone.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 9 - 11 volts at signal circuit terminal B.
    3. ⇒If greater than specified value, repair short to B+ or replace the VCIM.
    ⇒If less than specified value, repair short to ground or open/high resistance or replace the VCIM.
  3. Disconnect the VCIM C2 harness connector.
  4. Test for less than 1 volt at the cellular microphone terminal A .
    5. ⇒If greater than specified value, repair short to B+.
  5. Test for greater than 1 ohm of resistance between terminal A and ground
    6. ⇒If less than specified value, repair short to ground.
  6. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between terminal A and terminal 10.
    7. ⇒If greater than the specified value, repair open/high resistance.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the cellular microphone.
