The vehicle navigation radio and Onstar® system both utilize the cellular microphone to receive voice commands. The navigation radio receives an audio voice signal from the communication interface module (CIM).

Ignition ON, verify the OnStar® voice recognition is operating normally.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the CIM.
2. Ignition ON, test for 8.5-9.5 volts between the navigation voice signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.

⇒	If less than specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.

⇒	If greater than specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.

3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10 ohms between the navigation voice low reference circuit terminal 4 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.

4. Ignition ON, test for 8.5-9.5 volts between the navigation voice signal circuit terminal 2 and the drain wire circuit terminal 5.

⇒	If less than specified range, test the drain wire circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio.

5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the radio.
6. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between B+ and the navigation voice low reference circuit terminal 5.

⇒	If the test lamp illuminates, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground.

7. If all circuits test normal, replace the CIM.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
