Circuit/System Description |
The Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) is a high-speed multimedia network technology. The serial MOST
bus uses a ring topology and synchronous data communication to transmit audio, video, data and control information
between any devices attached.
The audio amplifier is a participant on the MOST network. The audio amplifier receives audio inputs and control
information from the MOST bus.
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the audio amplifier have a DC bias voltage that is
approximately one half of the battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output channel circuits will
measure approximately 6.5 V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC voltage that is
centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move
and produce sound.

Global Positioning System Short to Ground
Global Positioning System Open
Circuit/System Description
The navigation antenna is connected to the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. The module
supplies 5 V to the antenna to power the internal amplifier through the center conductor of the antenna coax cable.
When the vehicle is equipped with the optional navigation system, a Navigation Antenna Signal Splitter is installed
to distribute the navigation signal to both the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module and the Human
Machine Interface Control Module. The Human Machine Interface Control Module supplies 5 V through the coax
cable to power the Navigation Antenna Signal Splitter.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• Radio On.
• System voltage is greater than 9 V and less than 16 V
• The navigation system/telematics communication interface control module tests the GPS antenna every 10 s.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module detects a
short to ground on the GPS antenna signal circuit.
The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module detects a
open/high resistance on the GPS antenna signal circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module uses
the last reported position and the vehicle speed signal to calculate the vehicle position.
• Route guidance may be inaccurate.
• Turn by turn navigation may be inaccurate or inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
• A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction - free ignition cycles have occurred.
Diagnostic Aids
• The scan tool Telematics Communication Interface Control Module GPS signal parameter will display a Yes or
No dependent upon whether or not the module sees an increment of the seconds transmitted by GPS signals to
the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. Upon entering this screen, the GPS signal title will
initially display Yes, regardless of the presence of time increment, for at least 2 seconds, while the algorithm in
the scan tool determines the status of the clock. If increment is found, Yes is continually displayed. If the clock
remains static, No is displayed. The scan tool looks for increment every second, regardless of current display.
• Inaccurate or aged GPS position concerns which are no longer present may have been due to the temporary
loss of GPS signal reception by the vehicle. Conditions such as tunnels or parking structures will restrict the
cellular phone and navigation antenna from a clear view of the satellites in the sky and may have caused this
temporary data loss.
• The GPS requires a clear line of sight to the sky to operate properly. In most cases the GPS will not have
reception near tall buildings or inside structures.

Diagnostic Fault Information
| Circuit | Short to | Open/High | Short to | Signal |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Circuit/System Description |
The infotainment system has a USB port and a Auxiliary Audio Input Jack located in the center console. The
receptacle assembly receives fused battery voltage and ground from the harness to power the internal hub device as
well as providing additional amperage to power USB devices.
The internal hub device interfaces directly with the human machine interface control module via a standard USB
cable. A Mini type USB connector is used to connect the human machine interface control module and the USB
receptacle. Standard USB male to female connections are typically used for connecting USB cables together where
an in-line connection is required. An in-line cable connection is typically found between the console and I/P harness.
When a portable audio playback device is connected to the 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack an internal
switch opens the detection signal circuit within the hub. The HMI detects the device and AUX becomes available as
an audio source. Audio signals from the device are converted from analog to digital, these signals are then sent to the
HMI from the auxiliary input jack via USB.
The USB port allows connectivity to the infotainment system from portable media players or a USB storage device
(memory stick/flash drive). When a device is connected to the USB port, the system detects the device and switches
to USB as the audio source. Once connected, the device can be controlled from the radio controls.

DTC Descriptors
Global Positioning System Short to Ground
Global Positioning System Open
Circuit/System Description
The navigation antenna is connected to the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. The module
supplies 5 V to the antenna to power the internal amplifier through the center conductor of the antenna coax cable.
When the vehicle is equipped with the optional navigation system, a Navigation Antenna Signal Splitter is installed
to distribute the navigation signal to both the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module and the Human
Machine Interface Control Module. The Human Machine Interface Control Module supplies 5 V through the coax
cable to power the Navigation Antenna Signal Splitter.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• Radio On.
• System voltage is greater than 9 V and less than 16 V
• The navigation system/telematics communication interface control module tests the GPS antenna every 10 s.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module detects a
short to ground on the GPS antenna signal circuit.
The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module detects a
open/high resistance on the GPS antenna signal circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The Telematics Communication Interface Control Module or Human Machine Interface Control Module uses
the last reported position and the vehicle speed signal to calculate the vehicle position.
• Route guidance may be inaccurate.
• Turn by turn navigation may be inaccurate or inoperative.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
• A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction - free ignition cycles have occurred.
Diagnostic Aids
• The scan tool Telematics Communication Interface Control Module GPS signal parameter will display a Yes or
No dependent upon whether or not the module sees an increment of the seconds transmitted by GPS signals to
the Telematics Communication Interface Control Module. Upon entering this screen, the GPS signal title will
initially display Yes, regardless of the presence of time increment, for at least 2 seconds, while the algorithm in
the scan tool determines the status of the clock. If increment is found, Yes is continually displayed. If the clock
remains static, No is displayed. The scan tool looks for increment every second, regardless of current display.
• Inaccurate or aged GPS position concerns which are no longer present may have been due to the temporary
loss of GPS signal reception by the vehicle. Conditions such as tunnels or parking structures will restrict the
cellular phone and navigation antenna from a clear view of the satellites in the sky and may have caused this
temporary data loss.
• The GPS requires a clear line of sight to the sky to operate properly. In most cases the GPS will not have
reception near tall buildings or inside structures.

Some vehicles equipped with the OnStarA® system have the capability of accessing voice mailboxes and other
automated phone systems by means of the steering wheel controls, while the OnStarA® Personal Calling feature is
in use. If the "Talk" or "Mute" button (depending upon the vehicle) on the steering wheel controls is depressed
during an OnStarA® Personal Calling call, the telematics communication interface control module receives the
message on the serial data bus from either the radio or body control module. This message is interpreted as a request
to turn any spoken numbers into dual tone multi-frequency tones to be delivered over the airwaves to the phone
system the user is communicating with. Complete instructions for operation of these features can be found in the
information provided to the customer with the OnStarA® system.
The steering wheel controls are a resistor network that consist of multiple momentary contact switches and a series
of resistors. The switches and resistor network are arranged so that each switch has a different resistance value.
When a switch is pressed, a voltage drop occurs in the resistor network, which produces a specific voltage value
unique to the switch selected, to be interpreted by either the radio or BCM. In the event the OnStarA® steering
wheel control functions are inoperative, technicians should refer to Steering Wheel Controls Malfunction , to begin
diagnosis of the steering wheel control concern.

Circuit/System Description |
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio and audio amplifier (if equipped) have a DC bias
voltage that is approximately one half of battery voltage. When using a DMM, each of the audio output channel
circuits will measure approximately 6.5 V DC. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC
voltage that is centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker
cone to move and produce sound. The frequency (Hz) of the AC voltage signal is directly related to the frequency of
the input (audio source playing) to the audio system. Both the DC bias voltage and the AC voltage signals are needed
for the audio system to properly produce sound.
Diagnostic Aids
• Improper speaker mounting or loose trim may cause an audible buzz or distortion. Inspect the appropriate
speaker and the surrounding interior trim for proper and secure mounting.
The EL-50334-6 Audio System Diagnostic CD contains audio tracks that can be used to duplicate and isolate
such concerns. Tracks 11 and 12 contain audio sweep tones for testing for speaker and grill rattles.
If the speaker or surrounding interior trim is found to be loose or improperly secured, correctly secure the item.
• When equipped with an amplifier, it is possible for some individual circuit faults to affect more than one
speakers operation. Perform diagnostic tests in the sequence listed to avoid misdiagnosis.
• The amplifier control circuit will measure less than 1 V when the mute function is OFF, and approximately 8
V DC when at full mute. When mute is active, the radio stops sending the varying AC voltage to the
amplifier/speakers.

Telematics Communication Interface Control Module |
The OnStar Generation 10 system uses Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) to communicate data and
voice signals over the national cellular network. The module may also have the ability to act as a Wireless Local
Area Network (WLAN) Wi-Fi hotspot similar to a home wireless router. The module houses an internal WLAN
antenna enabling hotspot connectivity and streaming high speed media to the entertainment system. The module also
may enable Teletypewriter (TTY) and be capable of Bluetooth communication utilizing an internal antenna. The
module is capable of up to 4G LTE speeds and houses 2 technology systems, one to process Global Positioning
System (GPS) data, and another for cellular information. The module sends and receives all cellular communications
over two cellular antennas and cellular antenna coax cables.
The OnStar Gen 10 system has two antenna inputs, a primary cellular signal and a combined GPS/secondary cellular
signal. The OnStarA® system uses the United States Global Positioning System (GPS) signals to provide location on
demand. GPS is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather
conditions, anywhere on or near Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
The module also has the capability of activating certain features such as, the horn, remote starting, initiating door
lock/unlock, or activating the exterior lamps using the serial data circuits. These functions can be commanded by the
OnStarA® Call Center per a customer request or mobile device app depending on vehicle and customer subscription.
Dedicated circuits are used to connect the telematics communication interface control module to a microphone, the
button assembly, radio, and if equipped the Back Up Battery (BUB). The telematics communication interface control
module communicates with the rest of the vehicle over the serial data bus.
Power is provided by a dedicated, fused B+ circuit. Ground is provided through the vehicle wiring harness attached
to the module. The power mode state is determined by the telematics communication interface control module
through serial data messaging.
OnStarA® Three Button Assembly
• The OnStarA® button assembly may be part of the rearview mirror, or a separate, stand alone unit. The button
assembly is comprised of 3 buttons or 3 capacitive touch buttons and status LED's or an error indicator. The
buttons are defined as follows:
• The answer/end button, which is black with a white phone icon or a white driver figure seated with voice
signals near its face, allows the user to answer and end calls or initiate speech recognition.
• The blue OnStarA® call center button, which displays the OnStarA® logo, allows the user to connect to
the OnStarA® call center.
• The emergency button, which displays white letters "SOS" with red background, sends a high priority
emergency call to the OnStarA® call center when pressed.
If the LED does not illuminate, this may indicate that the customers OnStarA® subscription is not active or has
expired. Push the blue OnStar button to connect to an advisor who can then verify the account status.
The telematics communication interface control module supplies 10 volts to the OnStarA® button assembly on the
keypad supply voltage circuit. When pressed, each button completes a circuit across a resistor allowing a specific
voltage to be returned to the telematics communication interface control module on the keypad signal circuit.
Depending upon the voltage range returned the telematics communication interface control module is able to identify
which button has been pressed.
The OnStarA® status LED or error indicator is located near the buttons. The LED is green when the system is ON
and operating normally. When any indicator is illuminated and flashing, it is an indication that a call is in progress.
When the LED is red, this indicates a system malfunction is present. In the event there is a system malfunction and
the OnStarA® system is still able to make a call, the LED will flash red during the call.
Each LED or error indicator is controlled by either the telematics communication interface control module over
dedicated LED signal circuits or by low speed GMLAN serial data depending on the inside rearview mirror option.
Ground for the LED is provided by the wiring harness attached to the button assembly.
Secondary OnStarA® Controls
Some vehicles may have an additional button that when pushed can engage the OnStarA® system. The button may
be a symbol of a face with sound waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of a radio speaker with a slash through
it.
By engaging the OnStarA® system with this feature, the user can interact with the system by use of voice
commands. A complete list of these commands is supplied in the information provided to the customer. If the
information is not available for reference, at any command prompt the user can say "HELP" and the telematics
communication interface control module will return an audible list of available commands.
OnStarA® Microphone
The cellular microphone can be part of the rearview mirror assembly, or a stand-alone unit in the headliner or roof
console. In either case, the telematics communication interface control module supplies approximately 10V to the
microphone on the cellular microphone signal circuit. The microphone modifies the 10V depending on the volume
and voice being detected. A cellular microphone low reference circuit or a drain wire provides a ground for the
microphone. The microphone signal circuits pass through the telematics communication interface control module to
support entertainment voice recognition.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
The combination antenna will have any of the following antenna elements when equipped with OnStar:
• Primary cellular element
• Secondary cellular element
• GPS element
• Digital radio element
• AM/FM element
The Gen 10 OnStarA® system uses 2 cellular antenna elements to send and receive cellular data, the primary cellular
element and the secondary cellular element. The primary cellular signal is carried by a coax cable that connects the
antenna directly to the telematics communication interface control module. Details of the secondary cellular signal
are further described below.
The GPS antenna element is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a
low noise amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. Also housed within the antenna is
circuitry to combine the GPS signal and the secondary cellular signal. Without navigation, the combination
GPS/secondary cellular signal is carried by a coax cable that connects directly to the telematics communication
interface control module. The cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the antenna. With navigation,
the combination GPS/secondary cellular signal is carried by a coax cable that connects to the navigation signal
splitter. The splitter supplies the GPS signal to the navigation/entertainment system and the GPS/cellular signal to the
telematics communication interface control module.
The digital radio element collects digital radio signals from two satellites and where necessary terrestrial repeaters.
The digital radio signal is carried by a coax cable and connected to the digital radio receiver. Refer to Radio/Audio
System Description and Operation for further details.
The radio signal is sent from a broadcast station and is then received by the AM/FM radio antenna element. The
AM/FM radio signal is carried by a coax cable and is connected to the radio. Refer to Radio/Audio System
Description and Operation for further details.
OnStarA® RemoteLink
OnStarA® RemoteLink is a mobile app to link mobile devices to a vehicle for limited diagnostics and feature
controls. After downloading the app and registering the device, vehicle owners with an eligible vehicle can use their
mobile devices to access real-time data from their vehicle and perform specific commands remotely.
All communication between the app and the vehicle is powered by OnStar'sA® advanced connected vehicle
technology. An active OnStarA® account as well as a valid OnStarA® username and password are required to use
the app. The remote commands must be enabled by logging into the user's OnStarA® account prior to using the app.
Refer to the owners manual for available vehicle data and control features.
Compass Heading
The telematics communication interface module has a compass feature to calculate vehicle direction which is
displayed via the instrument panel cluster or designated display. The compass heading is determined by dead
reckoning until the GPS 3d fix is established. The dead reckoning is accomplished by using the yaw rate sensors and
wheel ticks to determine heading changes from a GPS known heading. The GPS 3d fix heading is determined by the
deferential of two locations. If "CAL" is displayed on the Instrument Panel Cluster or designated display refer to the
owners manual for steps to calibrate the compass.
BluetoothA® (If Equipped)
BluetoothA® wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables
connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. Only vehicles with steering wheel
controls will have BluetoothA® functionality. In order to utilize the vehicle's BluetoothA® system, a BluetoothA®
equipped cellular phone is required.
The BluetoothA® antenna is internal to the telematics communication interface control module, radio or human
machine interface module and is used to send and receive signals from a BluetoothA® enabled cellular phone. The
available features and functions are determined by the software within the device being used and the telematics
communication interface control module. The operating range of the signal from the vehicle is approximately 30
feet. Note that the operating range is dependent upon the cellular phone being used and battery level of the phone.
With BluetoothA® technology customers can experience hands-free calling as their BluetoothA® capable cellular
phones are wirelessly connected to the vehicle. It will allow customers to place and receive calls using the steering
wheel controls and voice recognition. The vehicle audio system will allow you to listen to your call through the
vehicle speakers and adjust volume through steering wheel or radio controls.
Not all BluetoothA® cellular phones are guaranteed to work with the vehicle's BluetoothA® system. Based on the
cellular phone's service provider and the manufacturer's implementation of BluetoothA®, not all phones support all
available BluetoothA® functionality. BluetoothA® enabled cellular phones will be tested for vehicle compatibility
and a feature compatibility list will be provided via the GM BluetoothA® website: http://www.gm.com/vc/bluetooth/
BluetoothA® Features Supported
The following is a list of features supported by the BluetoothA® system. Note that not all devices will support all of
the listed functions.
• Automatic reconnection - highest priority phone will automatically be connected to vehicle when vehicle
ignition is on
• Hands-free dialing- via digits, redial, name tags (phone number saved to a nametag via voice recognition)
• Answering a call
• Ending a call
• Mute a Call
• Rejecting a call - ignore an incoming call
• Call Waiting
• Three-way Calling - initiated from hands-free system
• Send Number During a Call - this is used when calling a menu-driven phone system
• Transfer a Call - transfer call from vehicle to cellular phone and visa versa
• Voice Pass-Thru - allow access to the voice recognition commands on the cellular phone
Pairing a BluetoothA® Cellular Phone to the Vehicle
In order to use hands-free calling, the cellular phone must be paired to the vehicle. Up to five devices can be paired
to the vehicle at one time, but only one can be connected at any given time. To pair a phone, the customer must know
how to operate the BluetoothA® functionality of their phone. The pairing process must only be done one time for
each phone, unless that phone's information is deleted. The system will always generate a password and will provide
that password if the device you are pairing does not support Secure Simple Pairing (SSP). If the device being paired
does support SSP the system will not provide the password and automatically pair the device. For safety reasons, the
pairing process is disabled while the vehicle is moving.
Once the BluetoothA® cellular phone has been paired with vehicle, it will automatically connect to the vehicle when
the ignition is on and the device is on. When more than one paired phone is in the vehicle, the phone with the highest
priority will be connected. If the cellular phone is in use while getting into the vehicle, the phone can be switched to
hands-free mode with the press of a button. In addition, a call in progress can be transferred from the vehicle hands-
free mode to the phone to continue the call as the customer exits the vehicle.
Complete pairing instructions are provided in the Vehicle Owners Manual.
Back-up Battery (If Equipped)
NOTE: Do not disconnect the main vehicle battery or remove the OnStarA® fuse with the
ignition key in any position other than OFF. Disconnecting power to the OnStarA®
module in any way while the ignition is ON or with retained accessory power
activated may cause activation of the OnStarA® Back-Up Battery. This action is per
design as the back-up battery is designed to provide power to the telematics
communication interface control module so an emergency notification call can be
made after an event where the main battery is disabled. Once the Back-Up Battery is
activated it will stay on until the power is restored back to the telematics
communication interface control module. The telematics communication interface
control module naturally chooses the main supply voltage as it's default supply, but
if the main supply is removed or lost for any reason the OnStarA® module will use
the Back-Up Battery as a power supply as long as the default supply can not be
detected. The back-up battery is not rechargeable and once discharged below 9.5
volts the back-up battery must be replaced.
Certain OnStarA® equipped vehicles may also be equipped with a back-up battery. The back-up battery is a non-
rechargeable, lithium battery intended to provide an auxiliary power source for the telematics communication
interface control module in the event where power from the main vehicle battery is lost.
The back-up battery is intended to have a limited life span of approximately 4 years and is designed to maintain an
open circuit voltage between 16 V and 9 V throughout this period. This allows the battery to power the basic
functions of the telematics communication interface control module for least one 200 second (5 minute) call at the
end of the 4 year span, should the main vehicle battery be lost. In the case of a vehicle losing vehicle battery power,
OnStar will switch over to the backup battery based on an internal algorithm. It will look for an air-bag deploy, or
near-deploy, messages from the SDM. If there are no messages the OnStar module will stay wake for a few minutes
longer and monitor the buttons in the mirror. If not pressed, the modules will power down and shut off completely.
The back-up battery is connected to the telematics communication interface control module through the back-up
battery positive voltage circuit and back-up battery ground circuit and is protected from a short circuit by means of
an internal fuse. In the event the back-up battery, battery positive voltage circuit is shorted to the back-up battery
ground circuit or chassis ground, the fuse will open and render the back-up battery permanently inoperable. The
status of the back-up battery and its associated wiring is monitored by the telematics communication interface
control module.
WiFi Hotspot
The telematics communication interface control module acts as a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) WiFi
hotspot router and uses direct 4G LTE connectivity to the internet. It has the ability to connect up to 7 devices at one
time. A data plan is required and when purchased, a security default password is established. There are several ways
to change the SSID or password, by placing a call to the OnStar Call Center, by using the Gen 10 mobile app or
through the scan tool.
The system utilizes a secure autoconnect feature between the telematics communication interface control module and
the radio/HMI. No user interaction is required, it is always available and ready to connect to a dedicated in car
device. The ignition must be in Run, Accessory or RAP for WiFi to operate.
Audio System Interface
When the OnStarA® requires audio output, a serial data message is sent to the audio system to mute all radio
functions and transmit OnStarA® originated audio. The OnStarA® audio is transmitted to the vehicle audio system
by a dedicated signal circuit and a low reference circuit.
The audio system will mute and an audible ring will be heard though the speakers if the vehicle receives a call with
the radio ON.
On some vehicles, the HVAC blower speed may be reduced when the OnStarA® system is active to aid in reducing
interior noise. When the system is no longer active, the blower speed will return to its previous setting.
OnStarA® Sleep Cycle
The OnStarA® system uses a unique sleep cycle to allow the system to receive cellular calls while the ignition is in
the OFF position and retained accessory power mode has ended. This cycle enables the telematics communication
interface control module to perform remote functions, such as door unlock, as commanded over the air by the
OnStarA® Call Center, and to continue to maintain an acceptable level of battery electrical drain.
The OnStarA® system uses 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when
the ignition is put into the OFF state:
• High power
• Low power
• Sleep
• Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, or retained accessory power is
enabled, and the OnStarA® system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStarA® system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or
with retained accessory power enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the retained accessory power has timed out while in
an analog cellular area. At a predetermined time recorded within the telematics communication interface control
module, the system re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStarA® Call Center for 1 minute.
After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute
interval, the OnStarA® system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode to perform any
requested functions. If no call is received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode
for another 9 minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStarA® system will turn off
until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the retained accessory power has
timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital standby mode, the OnStarA® module is able to perform all
remote functions as commanded by an OnStarA® advisor at any time, for a continuous 120 hours. After 120 hours,
the OnStarA® module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the telematics
communication interface control module. If the OnStar module loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog
mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of the GPS signals,
this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received.
If the OnStarA® system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain
OFF until battery power is restored and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
Features
The hands free, OnStarA® personal calling cellular phone feature is an additional feature of the OnStarA® system.
This feature is embedded within the telematics communication interface control module; however it must be
activated by an OnStarA® advisor. OnStarA® personal calling operates similar to most hand held cellular phones in
that the availability for its usage is based on minutes or units. The customer must have a current OnStarA®
subscription, as this feature cannot be utilized without it. To use OnStarA® personal calling, the customer must also
purchase units (minutes) as outlined in the owners guide provided with the OnStarA® system. Units begin to deplete,
1 unit is equal to 1 minute, as the customer makes outbound phone calls, answers inbound phone calls, or while
connected to the OnStarA® virtual advisor. In addition, units may also have an expiration date, depending upon the
type of units purchased.
Customers have the ability to store telephone numbers within the module, referenced by a nametag for the
convenience of frequently dialed numbers. After storing a nametag, the user can dial this number by initiating the
OnStarA® personal calling feature, speaking the word "call," and repeating the nametag assigned.
Turn by Turn Navigation allows the driver to contact OnStarA® to obtain directions for driving from a current
location to a desired location. The Turn by Turn Navigation system stores your planned route and continually checks
your position along that route, when you deviate from the planned route, the system will recognize this and prompt
the driver with verbal prompts for how to proceed. The driver then responds verbally to direct the system to continue
the current routing or to recalculate the route because of a missed turn.
The Advisor Record Feature allows the user to store any information given during a call with an OnStarA® Advisor.
Recording is activated by pressing the blue OnStar button during a call; pressing the button a second time stops the
recording. The stored information can be played back by pressing the phone button on the three button assembly and
using the voice command "Advisor Playback".
Teletypewriter (TTY) Users
OnStar has the ability to communicate to deaf, hard-of-hearing, or speech-impaired customers while in the vehicle.
The available dealer-installed TTY system can provide in-vehicle access to all of the OnStar services, except Virtual
Advisor and OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation.
Deactivated OnStarA® Accounts
In the event a customer has not renewed their OnStarA® account after expiration or the account was never activated,
OnStarA® will make a discrete cellular call to the vehicle to deactivate the OnStarA® system. Before taking this
action, customers are notified that the OnStarA® system in their vehicle will be deactivated unless they elect to
renew the account. After the OnStarA® account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following:
• The OnStarA® status LED will not illuminate.
• The OnStarA® system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStarA® Call Center in the event of a collision or
if the vehicle's front air bags deploy for any other reason.
• An emergency button press will play a demo message indicating the service has been deactivated.
• An OnStarA® Call Center button press will connect the customer with a dedicated sales team who can sell an
OnStarA® subscription and reactivate the vehicle. Depending on the type of OnStarA® hardware in the
vehicle, the customer may first hear a demonstration message stating there is no current OnStarA®
subscription for the vehicle, and directing the customer what to do to activate services.
• OnStarA® personal calling will not be available, as this feature requires the customer to have a current
OnStarA® account. Attempts to use this feature may result in cellular connection failure messages and the
inability to connect to the number dialed.
Certain vehicles that have never had an active OnStarA® account, or that have been deactivated, may be unable to
establish a connection with the OnStarA® Call Center. When normal published diagnostic procedures do not indicate
a possible cause for the no connect concern, the vehicle may have been deactivated. For deactivated vehicles, a no
connect response should be considered normal operation. Further diagnosis and subsequent repair is only necessary
should the customer elect to become an active OnStarA® subscriber or renew the account subscription.
OnStarA® Cellular, GPS, and Diagnostic Limitations
The proper operation of the OnStarA® System is dependent on several elements outside the components integrated
into the vehicle. These include the National Cellular Network Infrastructure, the cellular telephone carriers within the
network, and the GPS.
The cellular operation of the OnStarA® system may be inhibited by factors such as the users range from an analog or
digital cellular tower, the state of the cellular carrier's equipment, and the location where the call is placed. Making
an OnStarA® key press in areas that lack sufficient cellular coverage or have a temporary equipment failure will
result in either the inability of a call to complete with a data transfer or the complete inability to connect to the
OnStarA® Call Center. The OnStarA® system may also experience connection issues if the identification numbers
for the module, station identification number, electronic serial number or manufacturers electronic ID, are not
recognized by the cellular carriers local signal receiving towers.
The satellites that orbit earth providing the OnStar system with GPS data have almost no failures associated with
them. In the event of a no GPS concern, the failure will likely lie with the inability of the system to gain GPS signals
because of its location, i.e. in a parking structure, hardware failure, or being mistaken with an OnStarA® call which
has reached the Call Center without vehicle data.
During diagnostic testing of the OnStarA® system, the technician should ensure the vehicle is located in an area that
has a clear unobstructed view of the open sky, and preferably, an area where analog or digital cellular calls have been
successfully placed. These areas can be found by successfully making an OnStarA® keypress in a known good
OnStarA® equipped vehicle and confirming success with the OnStarA® Call Center advisor. Such places can be
used as a permanent reference for future OnStarA® testing.
Mobile Identification Number and Mobile Directory Number
The telematics communication interface control module utilizes 2 numbers for cellular device identification, call
routing and connection, a mobile identification number and a mobile directory number. The mobile identification
number represents the number used by the cellular carrier for call routing purposes while the mobile directory
number represents the number dialed to reach the cellular device.
Operation of the OnStarA® Speech Recognition Systems
OnStarA® users communicate with 2 speech recognition systems. Speech recognition allows the user to speak to one
computer in the vehicle, and one reached over a phone line. The computer tries to understand the users command,
and responds by speaking back, or by taking the appropriate action, e.g. dialing the phone.
• Personal Calling uses a speech recognition system that resides in the vehicle. When the user presses the phone
button, the system states, Ready, and listens for the user's command. The user can speak commands to control
the hands-free phone.
• Virtual advisor is a remote speech recognition system that the caller can access by making a phone call. The
user connects to virtual advisor by requesting it during personal calling use. The user is then transferred to the
virtual advisor server and talks to it via a cellular connection.
The OnStarA® speech recognition systems use speech technology that is designed to understand a wide range of
American English speakers. Although there is no one right way to speak English, the system will work best when
users try to modify their pronunciation should they encounter difficulty. Users who do not obtain good results are
advised to try the tips and workarounds found in the Infotainment System Manual or the Owners Manual.
The entertainment system on this vehicle may have several different configurations available to it. To determine the
specific configuration of the vehicle, please see the Service Parts ID Label, and refer to RPO Code List .

Radio Circuit Operation
The radio does not use a discrete ignition feed circuit for power moding. The power mode master provides the
system power mode to the radio via serial data messages. The power mode master determines the system power
mode by processing power mode information from ignition switch inputs. Serial data power modes supported by the
radio are OFF, ACCESSORY, RUN, and CRANK REQUEST.
The vehicle harness provides a ground for the radio circuits. The radio may also be case grounded.
The radio communicates with other modules via serial data.
Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), at the radio have a DC bias voltage that is approximately one
half of battery voltage. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC voltage that is centered
around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker cone to move and
produce sound. The frequency (Hz) of the AC voltage signal is directly related to the frequency of the input (audio
source playing) to the audio system. Both the DC bias voltage and the AC voltage signals are needed for the audio
system to properly produce sound.
The remote enable circuit is a discrete 12 V signal supplied to infotainment system components when the radio is
producing audio, needs the front display on, needs video entertainment system components on, or needs to produce
chimes. This signal is used to control the power state of the components. There is no output on radio the remote
enable circuit when the vehicle is in the CRANK powermode, this is to minimize current consumption from the
attached modules and also to avoid audio pops during crank events.

The info display module has continuous power and ground. When the radio is on, a discrete 12 V signal is supplied
on the remote enable circuit to the color display module. This signal is used to control the power state of the module,
which is active when the signal is high and inactive when the signal is low.
The info display module receives digital video data from the radio for on-screen display information through a
dedicated video cable. The radio communicates with the info display module over the touch screen serial data
circuits for touch screen inputs and backlighting dimming level.
The radio controls communicate radio control inputs directly to the radio through the CAN Graphical Interface (CGI)
data circuits. After receiving the message the radio will perform the requested function. Messages communicated
between the radio and the radio/HVAC controls include the following:
• Button presses/knob rotations
• Commands for the state of indicators
• Radio control back-lighting
The HVAC controls are a separate component from the radio controls. HVAC data for controls and status indicators
is communicated between the HVAC controls and the HVAC control module with a separate LIN serial data circuit.
HVAC status screen information from the HVAC control module is transmitted to the radio on the GMLAN serial
data circuit. The radio then displays the desired screen information on the info display using the video data circuits.
Antenna System
The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of the vehicle. This type of antenna may be used with the AM/FM
radio, but is primarily for OnStarA® cellular and GPS signals and the XM™ Satellite Radio Service System, if the
vehicle has these features. Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice build up for clear reception. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, the performance of the system may be affected if the sunroof is open. Loading items onto the roof of the
vehicle can interfere with the performance of the system, ensure the multi-band antenna is not obstructed.
The radio provides battery voltage to the AM/FM amplifier in the antenna base using the center conductor of the
antenna coaxial cable. When a 12 V signal is seen by the amplifier, both AM and FM signals are amplified.
Radio Reception
The radio signal is sent from a broadcast station and is then received by an antenna. The strength of the signal
received depends on the following:
• The power output (wattage) of the broadcasting station
• The location of the vehicle (or receiver) relative to the broadcast tower.
• Height of the broadcast antenna
• Height of the receiving antenna
• Obstacles between the tower and the receiver
• Atmospheric conditions
• What band (AM or FM) the station is broadcasting
• Type of antenna and the ground plane
The XM satellite receiver is integrated into the radio. XM satellite radio provides digital radio reception. The XM
signal is broadcast from two satellites and, where necessary, terrestrial repeaters. The high power satellites allow the
antenna to receive the XM signal even when foliage and other partial obstructions block the antennas view of the
satellite. Terrestrial repeaters are used in dense urban areas. These repeaters will receive the satellite signal and re-
broadcast them at much higher power levels in order to ensure reception in areas with densely packed tall buildings.
A service fee is required in order to receive the XM service.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The RDS feature is available only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. This system relies upon receiving
specific information from these stations and only works when the information is available. While the radio is tuned
to an FM-RDS station, the station name or call letters display. RDS data is carried in what is known as a "subcarrier".
A subcarrier is a frequency that the FM broadcaster is authorized to use to send data that is not audible in the main
audio program.
RDS functions will only work with FM broadcast stations that are broadcasting RDS data. Not all FM Broadcast
stations broadcast RDS data or offer all of the RDS services.
The information displayed is dependent upon the information broadcast by the particular station. The information
may vary greatly between stations. RDS functions may not work properly when reception is weak, reception is of
poor quality, or RDS is not implemented properly by the FM Broadcaster. In some cases, a radio station broadcasting
incorrect information may cause the RDS features of the radio to appear to work improperly.
With RDS, the radio can do the following:
• Display text information such as: station identification, type of programming, and general information (artist
and song title, station messages, call in phone numbers, etc.).
• Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of programming
• Receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies
• Receive alert warnings of local or national emergencies. When an alert announcement comes on the current
radio station, ALERT! displays. You will hear the announcement, even if the volume is low or a CD is playing.
If a CD is playing, play stops during the announcement. Alert announcements cannot be turned off. ALERT! is
not affected by tests of the emergency broadcast system. This feature is not supported by all RDS stations.
Speaker Operation
Speakers turn electrical energy into mechanical energy to move air, using a permanent magnet and an electromagnet.
The electromagnet is energized when the radio or amplifier (if equipped) delivers current to the voice coil on the
speaker. The voice coil will form a north and south pole that will cause the voice coil and the speaker cone to move
in relation to the permanent magnet. The current delivered to the speaker is rapidly changing alternating current
(A/C). This causes the speaker cone to move in two directions producing sound.
Audio Amplifier (If equipped)
A fused battery voltage circuit provides the main amplifier power. A switched 12 V output from the radio is used to
control the power - state of the amplifier. To respond quickly to audio input and control signals, the amplifier is ON
in all vehicle power modes except OFF and CRANK Request. The internal amplifier bridges are fully powered and
unmuted when the amplifier receives the switched 12 V input.
The purpose of the amplifier is to increase the power of a voltage or current signal. The output signal of an amplifier
may consist of the same frequencies as the input signal or it may consist of only a portion of the frequencies as in the
case of a subwoofer or midrange speaker. The radio creates a low level stereo audio output signal, which is sent at
the user-defined volume level to the audio amplifier. The audio amplifier amplifies the signal and sends it to the
appropriate speakers. Each of the audio output channel circuits (+) and (-), from the amplifier have a DC bias voltage
that is approximately one half of battery voltage. The audio being played on the system is produced by a varying AC
voltage that is centered around the DC bias voltage on the same circuit. The AC voltage is what causes the speaker
cone to move and produce sound. The frequency (Hz) of the AC voltage signal is directly related to the frequency of
the input (audio source playing) to the audio system. Both the DC bias voltage and the AC voltage signals are needed
for the audio system to properly produce sound.
Theft Deterrent
The radio theft deterrent system is intended to disable or limit radio functionality if incorrect vehicle information is
received by the radio. The radio disables functionality if the VIN information received by the radio does not match
the VIN information that has been learned by the radio. The radio receives this information via serial data. A possible
cause of incorrect VIN info could be the radio was originally installed in another vehicle.
The radio has the following theft operating modes as part of the theft deterrent system:
• Normal Mode: The radio has learned a correct VIN sequence and the VIN information received via serial data
matches the learned VIN sequence. In this mode the radio has full functionality.
• No VIN Mode: The radio has not received or learned a correct VIN sequence. In this mode the radio has
limited functionality.
• Theft Detected Mode: The radio has learned a correct VIN sequence and the VIN information received via
serial data does NOT match the learned VIN sequence. In this mode the radio may be disabled or have limited
functionality. The radio display will indicate that theft protection is active.
Auxiliary Audio Input Jack (If equipped)
The infotainment system may have a 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) auxiliary audio input jack located in the center console. The
auxiliary audio input jack may interface directly with the radio, or be connected to the infotainment system via a
Multimedia Player Interface Module. When a portable audio playback device is connected to the auxiliary jack, an
internal switch detects the connection and the radio will switch to AUX as the audio source. Audio signals from the
device are sent to the radio from the auxiliary jack via the left, right, and common audio signal circuits.
• When a device is first connected to the 3.5 mm (1/8 in.) input jack the infotainment system automatically
switches to that device. If an auxiliary device has already been connected, press the AUX or CD/AUX button
to select the device.
• Playback of an audio device that is connected to the 3.5 mm jack can only be controlled using the controls on
the device.
• The volume control on the device may need to be adjusted to ensure sufficient playback volume through the
infotainment system.
USB Port (If Equipped)
The infotainment system may have a USB connector located in the center console. The USB connector may interface
directly with the radio, or be connected to the infotainment system via a Multimedia Player Interface Module. The
USB connector supports both USB standards 1.1 and 2.0.
USB Supported Devices:
• USB Flash Sticks (Thumb Drives)
• Portable USB Hard Drives
• Portable Digital Media Players (iPODA®, ZUNEA®, etc)
Depending on the USB device, some devices may not be recognized, or some features/functions may not be able to
be controlled with the radio controls. USB HUB devices are not supported.
BluetoothA® (If Equipped)
BluetoothA® wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables
connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The operating range of the signal
is approximately 30 feet.
The available features and functions are determined by the type of device and the software within the devices being
used. For a feature or function to operate, it must be supported in both devices.
The first connection between devices is established through a process called pairing. In order to pair two devices, a
password (passkey) has to be exchanged between the two devices. One device will generate the password, the other
device accepts the password to complete the process. Once the devices are paired, future connections between the
devices will occur automatically when the devices are on and within range of each other.
The BluetoothA® hardware is internal to the radio. The radio supports streaming of data (music, voice, information)

Navigation System Components and Features (if equipped)
The navigation system, if equipped, provides the following:
• Connection to the global positioning system (GPS) antenna, which provides the vehicle position information.
• Route guidance with verbal prompts to the operator.
• Map data for navigation and map route guidance, stored on the internal hard drive.
• Traffic and weather information for display on the navigation system map (with active subscription, where
available).
The global positioning system (GPS) antenna is part of the multi-band antenna located on the roof of the vehicle. The
GPS antenna is used to collect the signals of the orbiting GPS satellites. Within the antenna is housed a low noise
amplifier that allows for a more broad and precise reception of this data. The GPS antenna amplifier is powered
through the coaxial cable.
The antenna is connected to the navigation radio through a signal splitter. The signal splitter is a component for
dividing the navigation signal into two paths without any transmission loss. This allows the use of a single GPS
antenna to provide a signal to both the navigation radio and the telematics communication interface module.
The map will display the route to the selected destination. Voice prompts alert the operator of upcoming events
(turns) and arrivals at the destination. The navigation system will automatically recalculate if the route is not
followed. The navigation radio uses data received from the global positioning system (GPS) satellites, the vehicle
speed signal. and serial data information to accurately display the current position of the vehicle.
The map database provides point of interest information. Points of interests are locations that are frequently visited.
Points of interest can be can be displayed on the map or set as a destination. The following are some of the available
Points of interests:
• Gas Station
• Restaurant
• College
• Police Station

Cruise Control Brake Switch Circuit
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the brake pedal position sensor. When the brake pedal is applied,
the ECM detects a predetermined voltage signal. The ECM sends a serial data message to the body control
module (BCM) indicating the status of the stop lamps.
This diagnostic test functions on the assumption that a sudden decrease in vehicle speed is caused by a brake
pedal application. When the ECM detects that there is a 4.2 km/h (2.6 mph) or greater decrease in vehicle speed
within 0.25 s without a transition of the stop lamp switch, the ECM sets DTC P0571.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• The engine speed is greater than 700 RPM.
• The traction control system or the antilock brake system are not active and have not malfunctioned.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph).
• The diagnostic will disable when the wheel speed is less than 16 km/h (10 mph).
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The BCM detects either a low voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit when the serial data message
from the ECM indicates the brakes are applied, or a high voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit
when the serial data message from the ECM indicates the brakes are not applied.
Actions Taken When the DTC Sets
• The cruise control system is disabled.
• The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal driving conditions
at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). Steep grades may cause variations in the selected vehicle speeds.
The following are the main components of the Cruise Control System:
• The accelerator pedal
• The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor
• The body control module (BCM)
• The cruise on/off switch
• The cruise control cancel switch
• The + RES switch (equivalent to resume/accelerate switch)
• The - SET switch (equivalent to set/coast switch)
• The engine control module (ECM)
• The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor (gasoline engines only)
• The vehicle speed sensor
The body control module (BCM) monitors the signal circuit of the cruise control switches, which are located on
the steering wheel. The BCM relays the cruise control switch status to the engine control module (ECM) via the
serial data circuit. The ECM uses the status of the cruise control switch to determine when to capture and
maintain the vehicle speed. The ECM monitors the vehicle speed signal circuit in order to determine the desired
vehicle speed.
Voltage is supplied to the cruise control switch via the steering wheel control switch reference voltage circuit
supplied by the BCM. The cruise control function switches are arranged in a resistive ladder design, with each
cruise control function switch having a different resistance value. The BCM detects a specific voltage value that
is associated with the cruise control function switch being activated. The BCM sends a serial data message to
the ECM indicating that the on/off switch is active. Similarly, when the normally open + RES switch or the
normally open - SET switch are pressed, the switch closes and the BCM detects the predetermined voltage
signal on the cruise control resume/accel and set/coast switch signal circuit. The BCM sends a serial data
message to the ECM indicating that the + RES switch or the - SET switch is active.
Cruise Control Engaged
The Cruise Control System will engage and adjust vehicle speeds, based on the activation of the following
cruise control switches, which are located on the steering wheel:
• On/Off
• + RES
• - SET
To engage the Cruise Control System, ensure that the vehicle speed is above 40.2 km/h (25 mph), turn the cruise
On/Off switch ON and momentarily press the - SET switch. The ECM will engage the Cruise Control System
and record the vehicle speed. The ECM sends a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) in
order to illuminate the Cruise Engaged indicator in the IPC. Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the location
and operation of the cruise control On/Off indicators and driver information center (DIC) messages.
Pressing the accelerator pedal while the Cruise Control System is engaged, allows the driver to override the
Cruise Control System in order to accelerate the vehicle beyond the current set vehicle speed. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will decelerate and resume the current set vehicle speed.
The driver can also override the current set vehicle speed via the - SET switch and the + RES switch. When the
Cruise Control System is engaged, pressing and holding the - SET switch will allow the vehicle to decelerate
from the current set vehicle speed without deactivating the Cruise Control System. When the - SET switch is
released, the ECM will record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed.
When the Cruise Control System is engaged, momentarily pressing the - SET switch will allow the vehicle to
decelerate at a vehicle specific calibratable increment, commonly 1 km/h or 1 mph, each time that the - SET is
momentarily pressed, with a minimum vehicle speed of 38 km/h (24 mph). Refer to the vehicle Owner's Manual
for more information.
Pressing and holding the + RES switch, when the Cruise Control System is engaged, will allow the vehicle to
accelerate to a greater vehicle speed than the current set vehicle speed. When the + RES switch is released, the
ECM will record the vehicle speed and maintain the vehicle speed as the new set vehicle speed. When the
Cruise Control System is engaged, momentarily pressing the + RES switch will allow the vehicle to accelerate
at a vehicle specific calibratable increment, commonly 1 km/h or 1 mph, each time that the + RES switch is
momentarily pressed. Momentarily activating the + RES switch will recall the previous vehicle speed, after the
cruise control system has been disengaged by pressing the brake pedal, or CANCEL switch. Refer to the vehicle
Owner's Manual for more information.
Cruise Control Disengaged
The engine control module (ECM) disengages the cruise control operation based on the signals from the
following switches:
• The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor
• The On/Off switch
• The cruise control cancel switch
The Cruise Control System will disengage when the brake pedal is applied. The body control module (BCM)
monitors the BPP sensor via the BPP sensor signal circuit as the voltage signal increases while the pedal is
further applied. The ECM monitors the BPP signal through a discrete input and a serial data message signal
from the BCM indicating the brake status. When either signal indicates the brake pedal is applied, the ECM will
disengage the cruise control system.
The Cruise Control System will also disengage when the cruise control on/off switch is switched OFF, or the
cruise control cancel switch is activated. The body control module (BCM) determines when the cruise control
cancel switch is activated. When the normally open cancel switch is closed, the BCM detects the predetermined
voltage signal on the cruise control function switch circuit. The vehicle speed stored in the memory of the
engine control module will be erased when the cruise control On/Off switch is turned OFF, or the ignition
switch is turned OFF. The BCM sends a serial data message to the ECM in order to disengage the cruise control
system. When the Cruise Control System has been disengaged, the ECM sends a serial message to the
instrument panel cluster (IPC) in order to turn OFF the Cruise Engaged indicator.
Every time the Cruise Control System is disengaged, the ECM will keep track of the reason for system
disengagement. The last 8 disengagement reasons will be recorded within the ECM memory. The scan tool will
display the last 8 Cruise Disengage History parameters, in which one out of approximately 50 possible reasons
will be displayed in each of these 8 parameters. For the disengagement reason to be displayed within the scan
tool parameter the Cruise Control System is active and disengagement is requested.
When engagement of the system is requested but an engagement inhibit is present, the most recent inhibit
reason is recorded in the ECM history. The scan tool will display the most recent inhibit reason, in which one
out of approximately 50 possible reasons will be displayed.
Cruise Control Inhibited
The engine control module (ECM) inhibits the cruise control operation when any of the following conditions
exist:
• The ECM has not detected a brake pedal activation from the body control module (BCM) this ignition
cycle.
• A Cruise Control System DTC has been set.
• The vehicle speed is less than 38.6 km/h (24 mph).
• The vehicle speed is too high.
• The vehicle is in PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, or 1st gear.
• The engine RPM is low.
• The engine RPM is high.
• The system voltage is not between 9 volts and 16 volts.
• The Antilock Brake System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS) is active for more than a calibratable
time (typically 0.3 to 0.7 seconds).

ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The body control system consists of the body control module (BCM), communications, and various input and
outputs. Some inputs, outputs and messages require other modules to interact with the BCM. The BCM also has
discrete input and output terminals to control the vehicle's body functions. The BCM is wired to the high speed
GMLAN serial data bus, low speed GMLAN serial data bus and Multiple LIN buses and acts as a gateway
between them.
Power Mode Master
This vehicle body control module (BCM) functions as the power mode master (PMM). The ignition switch is a
low current switch with multiple discrete ignition switch signals to the PMM for determining the power mode
that will be sent over the serial data circuits to the other modules that need this information; the PMM will
activate relays and other direct outputs of the PMM as needed. Refer to Power Mode Description and
Operation for a complete description of power mode functions.
Gateway
The body control module (BCM) in this vehicle functions as a gateway or translator. The purpose of the
gateway is to translate serial data messages between the GMLAN high speed bus and the GMLAN low speed
bus for communication between the various modules. The gateway will interact with each network according to
that network's transmission protocol.
All communication between the BCM and a scan tool is on the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits. A lost
communication DTC typically is set in modules other than the module with a communication failure.
Body Control
The various body control module (BCM) input and output circuits are illustrated in the corresponding functional
areas on the BCM electrical schematics. Refer to the Body Control System Schematics for more detailed
information.
DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
NOTE: This is an overview of different serial data buses used by GM control modules
to communicate with each others. Use schematics to find out which serial data
buses are configured for a specific vehicle.
Circuit Description
There are many components in a vehicle that rely on information from other sources, transmit information to
other sources, or both. Serial data communication networks provide a reliable, cost effective, way for various
components of the vehicle to "talk" to one another and share information.
GM uses a number of different communication buses to insure the timely and efficient exchange of information
between control modules. When compared to each other, some of these buses are different in nature as far as
speed, signal characteristics, and behavior. An example of this is the High Speed GMLAN and Low Speed
GMLAN buses.
On the other hand, when other buses are compared to each other they have similar characteristics and simply
operate in parallel. In this case they are used to group together components which have high interaction.
Examples are the High Speed GMLAN, Powertrain Expansion, and Chassis Expansion buses. This allows them
to communicate with each other on a bus with reduced message congestion insuring faster and the more timely
exchange of information than if all vehicle control modules were on a single bus.
The majority of information that exists within a given network generally stays local; however some information
will have to be shared on other networks. Control modules designated as Gateway's perform the function of
transferring information between the various buses. A Gateway module is connected to at least 2 buses and will
interact with each network according to its message strategy and transmission models.
GMLAN provides the capability for a receiving control module to monitor message transmissions from other
control modules in order to determine if messages of interest are not being received. The primary purpose is to
allow reasonable default values to be substituted for the information no longer being received. Additionally, a
control module may set a Diagnostic Trouble Code to indicate that the control module it is expecting
information from is no longer communicating.
High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
A High Speed GMLAN Bus is used where data needs to be exchanged at a high enough rate to minimize the
delay between the occurrence of a change in sensor value and the reception of this information by a control
device using the information to adjust vehicle system performance.
The High Speed GMLAN serial data network consists of two twisted wires. One signal circuit is identified as
GMLAN-High and the other signal circuit is identified as GMLAN-Low. At each end of the data bus there is a
120 Q termination resistor between the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low circuits.
Data symbols (1's and 0's) are transmitted sequentially at a rate of 500 Kbit/s. The data to be transmitted over
the bus is represented by the voltage difference between the GMLAN-High signal voltage and the GMLAN-
Low signal voltage.
When the two wire bus is at rest the GMLAN-High and GMLAN-Low signal circuits are not being driven and
this represents a logic "1". In this state both signal circuits are at the same voltage of 2.5 V. The differential
voltage is approximately 0 V.
When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the GMLAN-High signal circuit is driven higher to about 3.5 V and the
GMLAN-Low circuit is driven lower to about 1.5 V. The differential voltage becomes approximately 2.0 (+/-
0.5) V.
Chassis High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The GMLAN Chassis Expansion Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus except that its use is
reserved for chassis components. This implementation splits message congestion between two parallel buses
helping to insure timely message transmission and reception. Sometimes communication is required between
the Chassis Expansion Bus and the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus. This is accomplished by using the K17
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) as the Gateway module. Since the High Speed GMLAN Chassis
Expansion Bus and primary High Speed GMLAN Bus operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are
similar.
Powertrain High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The GMLAN Powertrain Expansion Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus except that its use
is reserved for Hybrid powertrain components or Diesel powertrain components in some cases. The bus is
optional based upon feature content. Sometimes communication is required between the Powertrain Expansion
Bus and the primary High Speed GMLAN Bus. This is accomplished by using the K20 Engine Control Module
(ECM) as the Gateway module. Since the High Speed GMLAN Powertrain Expansion Bus and the primary
High Speed GMLAN Bus operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are similar.
All diagnostic information is available only through the primary high speed GMLAN bus.
High Voltage Energy Management High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The GMLAN High Voltage Energy Management Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus
except that its use is reserved for Hybrid charging components of an electric vehicle. Sometimes
communication is required between the Low Speed GMLAN Bus and the High Voltage Energy Management
Bus. This is accomplished by using the K114B Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2 as the Gateway module.
Since the High Speed GMLAN High Voltage Energy Management Bus and primary High Speed GMLAN Bus
operate in the same manner, the diagnostics for each are similar.
All diagnostic information is available only through the primary high speed GMLAN bus.
Object High Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
The GMLAN Object Bus is basically a copy of the High Speed GMLAN Bus except that its use is reserved for
the enhanced safety system. This implementation is used to isolate the heavy communication among the
enhanced safety system devices from the other vehicle buses, reducing congestion. The K124 Active Safety
Control Module is connected to the Object Bus as well as the Primary High Speed GMLAN Bus, the Chassis
Expansion Bus, and the Low Speed GMLAN Bus. The K124 Active Safety Control Module acts as a Gateway
module for all required communication between the Object Bus devices and devices on these other vehicle
buses. The GMLAN Object Bus operates in the same manner as the Chassis Expansion and Primary High Speed
buses and so the diagnostics are similar. The Object Bus is physically partitioned into a Front Object Bus and a
Rear Object Bus with each partition having its own communication enable circuit to activate the partition, but
functional operation of both is identical. The Front Object Bus standard devices are the K124 Active Safety
Control Module, the K109 Frontview Camera Module, and the B233B Radar Sensor Module - Long Range. The
Front Object Bus optional devices are the B233LF Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Left Front and the
B233RF Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Right Front. The Rear Object Bus is optional and when present
will have the K124 Active Safety Control Module and B233R Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Rear on the
bus, and optionally the Radar Sensor Module - Short Range Right Rear. All Object Bus components are
powered by the K124 Active Safety Control Module via the communication enable circuits, except the K109
Frontview Camera Module which is powered directly by battery.
Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) Circuit Description
The MOST Infotainment network is a dedicated high speed multimedia streaming data bus independent from
GMLAN. The MOST bus will be configured in a physical hardwired loop with each device within the bus sends
and receives data on an assigned MOST addresses in a set order. Each device on the MOST bus will be required
to have twisted pair copper wires (2 transmit TX, 2 receive RX, and 1 electronic control line which is a 12 V
wakeup signal line). The A11 Radio is the MOST Master and will monitor the bus for vehicle configuration,
Infotainment data messages and errors on the bus. The MOST initialization consists of a short 100 ms low
voltage pulse on the electronic control line (or MOST control line) connected to all devices contained on the
MOST ring. When the MOST devices receive this wakeup message, they will respond with a generic device
response. Once these initial responses on the MOST bus are reported successfully without error to the A11
Radio, the next responses will report the MOST device addresses, their functionality requirements and
capabilities within. The A11 Radio will learn this information and also record the address node sequence on the
MOST bus at this point. This node address list will now be stored within the A11 Radio as the MOST bus
configuration (called "Last Working MOST ID of Node 1 - 9" on scan tool data display).
When MOST receive, transmit, or control line faults are detected, transmit/receive messages will not be
received as expected from the wakeup request. The A11 Radio and the K74 Human Machine Interface Control
Module will then perform diagnostics to isolate these MOST faults. If the MOST control line is shorted low to 0
V for excess amount of time, the A11 Radio will set a U2098 DTC and K74 Human Machine Interface Control
Module will set a U0029 02 DTC. At this point the MOST bus will be unable to communicate until the shorted
MOST control line is repaired.
Once the shorted MOST control line diagnostics pass, the A11 Radio will attempt to resend the initial short
pulse attempts up to 3 times on the MOST control line. If the expected responses are not received, the A11
Radio continues into a failure mode setting a U0028 DTC and will continue on to send 300 ms long pulses
while DTC U0028 is current, which will enable the furthest upstream transmitting device to become the
surrogate MOST Master in this MOST fault/diagnostic mode. When the A11 Radio receives this new MOST
Master identity, the surrogate MOST master device can be identified based on scan tool data parameter
"Surrogate MOST Master Node Upstream Position". The scan tool and schematics will be used to determine the
MOST bus configuration and direction by utilizing the "Last Working MOST ID of Node 1 - 9" parameters
from the A11 Radio data display. When a fault is present, it will indicate the newly enabled "Surrogate MOST
Master Node Upstream Position" to the A11 Radio. This will assist in determining the location of the MOST
device/bus/control fault. The MOST device and circuits upstream from the surrogate MOST master device,
transmit, receive, or control lines will be the suspect areas for diagnostics at this point. These faults can be
associated with any of the MOST transmit, receive, or control line twisted copper wires or possibly an internal
device fault.
DTC U0028 will take approximately 10 s for diagnostics to set in the A11 Radio with an active fault condition.
With the latest software, the A11 Radio will report the Surrogate MOST Master Node Upstream Position value
when DTC U0028 is stored in history. When there is no MOST bus fault, this value is None. The U0028 DTC
state and the Number of MOST Communication Breaks parameter must be used with the Surrogate MOST
Master Node Upstream Position parameter for a successful diagnosis. This is used to help capture surrogate
information on intermittent fault conditions. The Number of MOST Communication Breaks counter will
increment each time the MOST bus state transitions from Normal Operation (Lock status) to Off State (Unlock
status) and will accumulate from 0-65535. After the Number of MOST Communication Breaks counter
increments 10 times, DTC U0028 will be set. It is important to clear DTC U0028 and reset the Surrogate MOST
Master Node Upstream Position value to None after a successful repair. The Surrogate MOST Master Node
Upstream Position value can be reset to None by disconnecting the A11 Radio power, disconnecting battery
cables, or 50 ignition power down cycles. This will also reset the Number of MOST Communication Breaks
counter to 0.
The K74 Human Machine Interface Control Module will set a U0029 00 DTC when it diagnoses a MOST bus
not communicating properly after one attempt. When the DTC U0029 00 is set by the K74 Human Machine
Interface Control Module without the corresponding DTC U0028 from the A11 Radio, it will be an indication
of an intermittent wiring/device condition. The A11 Radio may also set a U0029 7F DTC if there is an
intermittent wiring/device condition.
Low Speed GMLAN Circuit Description
Low Speed GMLAN Bus is used in applications where a high data rate is not required which allows for the use
of less complex components. It is typically used for operator controlled functions where the response time
requirements are slower than those required for dynamic vehicle control.
The Low Speed GMLAN Serial Data Network consists of a single wire, ground referenced bus with high side
voltage drive. During on road vehicle operation data symbols (1's and 0's) are transmitted sequentially at the
normal rate of 33.3 Kbit/s. For component programming only, a special high speed data mode of 83.3 Kbit/s
may be used.
Unlike the high speed dual wire networks, the single wire low speed network does not use terminating resistors
at either end of the network.
The data symbols to be transmitted over the bus are represented by different voltage signals on the bus. When
the Low Speed GMLAN Bus is at rest and is not being driven, there is a low signal voltage of approximately
0.2 V. This represents a logic "1". When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the signal voltage is driven higher to
around 4.0 V or higher.
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Circuit Description
The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Bus consists of a single wire with a transmission rate of 10.417 Kbit/s.
This bus is used to exchange information between a master control module and other smart devices which
provide supporting functionality. This type of configuration does not require the capacity or speed of either a
High Speed GMLAN Bus or Low Speed GMLAN Bus and is thus relatively simpler.
The data symbols (1's and 0's) to be transmitted are represented by different voltage levels on the
communication bus. When the LIN Bus is at rest and is not being driven, the signal is in a high voltage state of
approximately Vbatt. This represents a logic "1". When a logic "0" is to be transmitted, the signal voltage is
driven low to about ground (0.0 V).
Communication Enable Circuit Description
Control modules on GMLAN high speed type networks enable or disable communication based on the voltage
level of this circuit. When the circuit voltage is high (around 12 V), communications are enabled. When the
circuit is low, communications are disabled.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The data link connector (DLC) is a standardized 16-cavity connector. Connector design and location is dictated
by an industry wide standard, and is required to provide the following:
• Terminal 1: Low speed GMLAN communications terminal
• Terminal 2: Class 2 communications terminal
• Terminal 3: Object high speed GMLAN serial bus (+) terminal
• Terminal 4: Scan tool power ground terminal
• Terminal 5: Common signal ground terminal
• Terminal 6: High speed GMLAN serial data bus (+) terminal
• Terminal 7: Keyword communications terminal
• Terminal 11: Object high speed GMLAN serial bus (-) terminal
• Terminal 12: Chassis high speed GMLAN serial bus (+) terminal
• Terminal 13: Chassis high speed GMLAN serial bus (-) terminal
• Terminal 14: High speed GMLAN serial data bus (-) terminal
• Terminal 16: Scan tool power, battery positive voltage terminal
Serial Data Reference
The scan tool communicates over the various buses on the vehicle. When a scan tool is installed on a vehicle,
the scan tool will try to communicate with every control module that could be optioned into the vehicle. If an
option is not installed on the vehicle, the scan tool will display No Comm (or Not Connected) for that optional
control module. In order to avert misdiagnoses of No Communication with a specific control module, refer to
Data Link References for a list of control modules and the buses they communicate with. Use schematics and
specific vehicle build RPO codes to determine optional control modules.
