TELEMATICS SYSTEM, TROUBLESHOOTING USING TELEMATICS INDICATOR LAMP

The following allows technicians to perform an initial evaluation of Telematics system operation status for 
troubleshooting using the OnStar(R) telematics indicator lamp (and pre-recorded system messages where 
applicable). 

The telematic indicator lamp LED is located in the telematic control head. LED indications are red or green, 
lighting continuously, blinking slowly or quickly. 

Telematic system status can be determined via the LED with the ignition switched on and referenced from 
TELEMATICS LED INDICATION CHART table: 

TELEMATICS LED INDICATION CHART 

Indications, overview:

LED is off when ignition is off.  

z

The green LED comes on after a self-check routine is performed (approx. 10- 15 seconds after ignition is 
switched on). Sending or receiving voice communication with the OnStar(R) call center is now possible. 
LED remains on even in areas without cellular coverage.  

z

The green LED slowly blinking indicates a communication request has taken place and the system is in 
the process of establishing a cellular connection.  

z

The red LED indicates a malfunction in the telematics hardware was determined during the self check.  

Condition - telematics indicator lamp "green" plus:

connection time is 10 - 15 seconds. However, due to local cellular/GPS 
conditions, making a connection could take up to three minutes. Be patient.
