DTC Descriptors

DTC B2455 02

Cellular Phone Microphone Circuit Short to Ground

DTC B2455 04

Cellular Phone Microphone Circuit Open/High Resistance

Diagnostic Fault Information

Cellular, Entertainment, and Navigation

Circuit/System Description

The telematics communication interface control module provides the cellular phone microphone with a supplied voltage on the cellular phone microphone signal circuit. When the microphone is in use, voice data from the user is sent back to the telematics communication interface control module on the cellular microphone low reference circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

  • Ignition ON/Vehicle in Service Mode.
  • The system voltage is at least 9.5 V and no more than 15.5 V.
  • All the above conditions are present for greater than 10 s.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B2455 02

The telematics communication interface control module detects a short to ground in the cellular phone microphone signal circuit for 10 s or greater.

B2455 04

The following conditions will set this DTC:

  • The telematics communication interface control module detects an open/high resistance in the cellular phone microphone signal circuit for 10 s or greater.
  • The telematics communication interface control module detects an open/high resistance in the microphone low reference circuit for 10 s or greater.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  • The telematics status LED turns red.
  • The telematics communication interface control module will not receive a signal from the cellular phone microphone.
  • Calls can be placed but the caller cannot be heard.

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.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF/vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B24 Cellular Phone Microphone, ignition ON/vehicle in Service Mode.

2. Test for 8.0-10.5 V between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.

  • If less than 8.0 V
  1. Ignition OFF/vehicle OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground in the circuit.
    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
    • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
  • If greater than 10.5 V
  1. Ignition OFF/vehicle OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module, ignition ON/vehicle in Service Mode.
  2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
    • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
    • Go to next step: If less than 1 V, replace the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
  • Go to next step: If between 8.0-10.5 V

3. Test for less than 1 V between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.

  • If greater than 1 V
  1. Ignition OFF/vehicle OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module, ignition ON/vehicle in Service Mode.
  2. Test for less than 1 V between the low reference circuit and ground.
    • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage in the circuit.
    • If less than 1 V, replace the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
  • Go to next step: If less than 1 V

4. Test for greater than 8 V between the signal circuit terminal B and the low reference circuit terminal A.

  • If less than 8 V
  1. Ignition OFF/vehicle OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
  2. Test for infinite resistance between the low reference circuit and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground in the circuit.
    • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
    • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
    • If less than 2 Ω, replace the vehicle K73 Telematics Communication Interface Control Module.
  • Go to next step: If greater than 8 V

5. Test or replace the B24 Cellular Phone Microphone.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.

  • Refer to Mobile Telephone Microphone Replacement
  • Refer to Control Module References for control module replacement, programming and setup.
