Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update Model Years. Please discard PIC5491J.
Condition / Concern
A concern may be identified as OnStar system will not power up, or no LED illuminated and no response from the OnStar button
assembly on a vehicle with a Gen7, Gen8, Gen9, FCP1, or Gen10 OnStar system.
Some technicians may also note that there is no communication with the OnStar module when attempting to communicate with
the scan tool (GDS2/Tech2).
Recommendations / Instructions
With the issue present, turn off the ignition, cancel RAP, and perform a 5 minute power cycle of the VCIM.
Then test OnStar key presses, LED status, and verify if the VCIM has communication with the scan tool.
If the system still will not power up, continue with normal diagnostics.
If the issue is eliminated, no further action is required.
Note: If the "No Power" concern is eliminated by performing the above procedure, and the "No Power" concern returns and a power
cycle resolves the issue again, the VCIM will need to be replaced.
