Circuit Description
The Vehicle Communication Interface Module 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 Vehicle Communication Interface Module 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 Vehicle Communication Interface Module 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 Vehicle Communication Interface Module detects the microphone connected for 5 consecutive 100 millisecond cycles. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction free ignition cycles. |
| • | The Vehicle Communication Interface Module receives the clear DTC command from the scan tool. |
