Subject: | OnStar® Handsfree Calling (OHFC) inoperative AND OnStar blue button keypress is now receiving the demo message |
Models: | All 2002 - 2008 OnStar® equipped vehicles with GEN 6 or GEN 7 hardware |
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
It has been determined that all vehicles that have Gen 6.X (Gen 6.0, 6.05, 6.06, 6.05R, 6.11, 6.15, 6.4) or 7.X (7.0, 7.04, 7.045, 7.0L, 7.1L) could have a concern where the OHFC may be inoperative as well as the demo message being heard when the OnStar® blue button is presssed.
This is due to the module being reset to its default configuration through an internal trigger in the VCIM or by a call into the vehicle by OnStar® to disable the system for an identified concern.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
