NOTE:

z

DO NOT exchange Telephone/Telematic Control Modules between 
vehicles! Each module contains specific Station Identification (STID) and 
Electronic Serial Number (ESN) data unique to the VIN. This data is used 
by OnStar(R) and National Cellular Telephone Network to identify the 
vehicle and administer the customer's account.  

z

Failure to reconfigure the control module after replacement will prevent 
OnStar(R) services and features from functioning, and will result in a 
customer return for repair.
