Circuit Description
The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) detects that the cellular microphone is connected through the cellular microphone signal circuit and the drain wire.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B2455 Cellular Phone Microphone Circuit Malfunction
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. |

1 | Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | -- | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information |
Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value? | 9 V | Go to Step 4 | Go to Step 3 | |
3 | Test the cellular microphone signal circuit for an open or short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 6 |
4 | Test the drain wire circuit for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the microphone and harness connector of the vehicle communication interface module (VCIM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 7 |
6 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the VCIM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | -- | Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 8 |
7 | Replace the microphone. Refer to Mobile Telephone Microphone Replacement in Stationary Windows. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 9 | -- |
8 | Replace the VCIM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 9 | -- |
