  • The diagnostic procedure used for DTC U1500 in OnStar® systems with single module generations of OnStar® differ greatly from previous generations with 2 modules. While these older generations denoted a failure of the 3-wire bus between the modules by setting a U1500, single module OnStar® systems use this DTC to denote an internal module failure. The determination of whether a one or 2-module generation of OnStar® is used should be confirmed. Refer to OnStar Description and Operation .
  • This DTC may be stored as a history DTC without affecting the operation of the module. If stored only as a history DTC and not retrieved as a current DTC, do not replace the VCIM.
  • If this DTC is retrieved as both a current and history DTC, replace the VCIM.
