The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern:
Certain RPO codes may show up on vehicles that are not equipped with OnStarĀ®. These codes could be misinterpreted as the vehicle having been manufactured with an OnStarĀ® system and other OnStarĀ® capabilities. RPO code verbiage may indicate the vehicle is capable of an providing an OnStarĀ® feature or capability when it is not, due to the absence of the OnStarĀ® system. Some of these descriptions can not be suppressed in GMVIS, however the UE1 RPO code will indicate the vehicle is equipped with OnStarĀ®, and as such may capable of the additional feature. These additional OnStarĀ® features often rely on other vehicle sub-systems and their capabilities; these are the capabilities that the RPOs are intending to indicate.
Recommendation/Instructions:
Please do not use GMVIS RPO codes to determine OnStarĀ® hardware type and/or its features and capabilities. Instead, refer to the dealer invoice and/or vehicle monroney label. For more details on a particular vehicle's OnStarĀ® specific features and capabilities; dealer should refer to the OnStarĀ® user guide in the glove box or use the OnStarĀ® hardware look-up tool, accessible through OnStarĀ® on-line enrollment accessible through GM Dealerworld.
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.
