Diagnostic Fault Information

Important: Always perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle. Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle , prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

Circuit/System Description

The Bluetooth Module is a cellular device that is powered by a fused, battery positive, voltage circuit and allows a cordless link between a cellular telephone and the Bluetooth car kit. The Bluetooth Module is not connected to the GMLAN system. It communicates with the cellular telephone via low-power radio waves. Due to the low power of the signal, approximately 1 milliwatt, a cellular telephone must be within 10 meters (32 feet) of the vehicle's Blue Tooth Module to identify the Bluetooth Module.. When a paired cellular telephone and the Bluetooth car kit come within range of one another and the ignition is turned to the ON position and/or the bluetooth button is pressed, an electronic conversation automatically takes place and the devices form a personal-area network (PAN), or piconet, in the vehicle.
