Circuit/System Description
The OnStar® button assembly consists of 3 buttons, Call/Answer, OnStar® Call Center, and OnStar® Emergency. The communication interface module (CIM) supplies the OnStar® button assembly with 10 volts via the keypad supply voltage circuit . Each of the buttons, when pressed, completes the circuit across a resistor allowing a specific voltage to be returned to the CIM over the keypad signal circuit. Depending upon the voltage range returned, the CIM is able to identify which button has been activated.
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 15 seconds. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The CIM detects a valid signal on the keypad signal circuit for longer than 15 seconds. If one of the OnStar® buttons is held or stuck for 15 seconds or greater, the CIM will set this DTC.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The OnStar® status LED turns red. |
| • | No calls can be placed. |
| • | The CIM will ignore all inputs from the OnStar® button assembly. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
| • | A history DTC will clear once 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the button assembly.
- Ignition ON, test for 9.8-10.2 volts between the keypad supply voltage circuit terminal A and ground.
- Test for 0 volt between the keypad signal circuit terminal B and ground.
- Test for 9.8-10.2 volts between the keypad supply voltage circuit terminal A and the keypad signal circuit terminal B.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal E and ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the CIM X1 connector. Test for infinite resistance between the keypad signal circuit terminal B and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the button assembly.
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the keypad signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the keypad signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the CIM. |
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the keypad signal circuit for a short to ground. |
Component Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the button assembly.
- Test for infinite resistance between the keypad supply voltage terminal A and the keypad signal terminal B.
- Test for 1.4k-1.6k ohms between the keypad supply voltage terminal A and the keypad signal terminal B while pressing the black phone button.
- Test for 2.7k-3.3k ohms between the keypad supply voltage terminal A and the keypad signal terminal B while pressing the blue On-Star® button.
- Test for 11.7k-14.3k ohms between the keypad supply voltage terminal A and the keypad signal terminal B while pressing the red emergency button.
| ⇒ | If less than the specified range, replace the button assembly. |
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the button assembly. |
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the button assembly. |
| ⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the button assembly. |
