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