VUE AWD V6-3.5L VIN 4 (2004)
these systems will then completely power OFF.
OnStar(R) Module Expected Current Draw
The expected current draw of the OnStar(R) module in various ignition modes are as follows:
^
Ignition ON ‐ 240 to 400 mA
^
Ignition OFF ‐ 3 to 20 mA for 48 hours
^
Ignition OFF ‐ 0.2 to 0.8 mA after 48 hours (120 hours on specified vehicle communication platforms (VCPs)).
Note
During extended voltage testing for battery parasitic draw, it is possible to observe a voltage spike caused by the following:
^
A cellular registration call that was triggered by the local cellular system.
^
The OnStar(R) system has set a monthly trigger for a vehicle data upload call for the OnStar(R) Vehicle Diagnostic E‐mail upload.
OnStar(R) System States of Readiness
The OnStar(R) system will use the following 4 states of readiness, depending upon the type of cellular market the vehicle is in when the ignition is turned
OFF.
^
High power
^
Low power
^
Sleep
^
Digital standby
The high power state is in effect whenever the ignition is in the ON or RUN position, retained accessory power (RAP) is enabled, and/or the OnStar(R)
system is sending or receiving calls or when the system is performing a remote function.
The low power state is in effect when the OnStar(R) system is idle with the ignition in the ON or RUN position, or with RAP enabled.
The sleep state is entered after the vehicle has been shut OFF and the RAP has timed out. At a predetermined time recorded within the VCIM, the system
re-enters the low power state to listen for a call from the OnStar(R) Call Center for 1 minute. After this interval, the system will again return to the sleep
state for 9 minutes. If a call is sent during the 1 minute interval, the OnStar(R) system will receive the call and immediately go into the high power mode
to perform any requested functions. If a call is not received during the 1 minute interval, the system will go back into the sleep mode for another 9
minutes. This process will continue for up to 48 hours, after which the OnStar(R) system will turn OFF until the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN
position.
The digital standby power state is entered after the vehicle has been shut off and the RAP has timed out while in a digital cellular area. When in digital
standby mode, the OnStar(R) module is able to perform all remote functions as commanded by an OnStar(R) advisor at any time, for a continuous 48
hours. After 48 hours, the OnStar(R) module will go into sleep mode until a wake up signal from the vehicle is seen by the CIM. If the OnStar module
loses the digital cellular signal it will revert to analog mode and follow the standard sleep state (9 minutes OFF, 1 minute standby) based on the time of
the GPS signals, this will continue until a digital cellular signal is again received.
If the OnStar(R) system loses battery power while the system is in a standby or sleep mode, the system will remain OFF until battery power is restored
and the ignition is turned to the ON or RUN position.
Deactivated OnStar(R) Accounts
In the event that a customer has not upgraded their vehicle to a digital system, the account has been deactivated. The customers have been previously
notified of the steps required to upgrade their vehicles. After the OnStar(R) account has been deactivated, customers will experience the following:
^
The OnStar(R) status LED will not illuminate
^
The OnStar(R) system will NOT attempt to connect to the OnStar(R) Call Center in the event of a collision or if the vehicle's front air bags deploy
for any other reason.
^
An emergency button press will result in a demo message being played, indicating the service has been deactivated and needs to be upgraded.
