Circuit Description
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) detects that the cellular microphone is connected through the cellular microphone signal circuit and the cellular microphone 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 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 cellular microphone signal circuit or drain wire circuit. |
| • | The VCIM detects 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. |

1 | Did you perform the Cellular Communications Diagnostic System Check? | -- | Go to Step 2 | |
Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value? | 9 V | Go to Step 3 | Go to Step 4 | |
3 | Test the drain wire circuit for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 5 |
4 | Test the cellular microphone signal circuit for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 7 |
5 | Test the cellular microphone signal circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 6 |
6 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the cellular microphone. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 8 |
7 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 10 | Go to Step 9 |
8 | Replace the cellular microphone. Refer to Mobile Telephone Microphone Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 10 | -- |
