DTC Descriptor
DTC B2455 00: Cellular Phone Microphone Circuit
Circuit/System Description
The communication interface module (CIM) 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 CIM on the signal circuit. The CIM
provides a ground for the microphone via 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 CIM detects an open, short to ground or short to voltage in the cellular 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. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The OnStar® 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
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inside rearview mirror.
- Ignition ON, test for 9.5-10.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 10 and ground.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM. |
- Test for test for 9.5-10.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 10 and the drain circuit terminal 2.
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the drain circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM. |
- If all circuit test normal, replace the cellular microphone.
