Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
No response when the OnStar button is pressed (DTC B2476): button assembly test values
On 1998-2000 OnStar equipped vehicles there may be no response when the OnStar button is pressed.
The OnStar VS-3B buttons may not operate and the telltale LED may not flash after the OnStar Center button or Emergency button is pressed; a DTC B2476 may also be present.
How to tell
B2476
What to do
- With the ignition in the On position, check for 7-10 volts between pin E6 and E1; if there is no voltage and the wire at the terminal is not shorted to ground, replace the VIU.
- Back probe the blue VIU connector between terminals E4 and E1: there should be no voltage with the system on and no buttons pressed.
- Press and hold the Call Answer/End button: the voltage should be 0.33 volts +/- 10%.
- Press and hold the OnStar Services button: the voltage should be 1.3 volts +/- 10%.
- Press and hold the Emergency button: the voltage should be 2.2 volts +/- 10%.
- If the readings do not agree with the specified values, replace the button assembly; if it is a mirror mounted button assembly, replace the mirror.
Caution: In these cases use OnStar Diagnostic Table DT3 (OnStar Button Assembly Test), but the values given in step 7 of that test are incorrect.
What is needed
- Parts and materials
- VIU (if there is no voltage between pin E6 and E1 and the wire at the terminal is not shorted to ground)
- Button assembly (if the readings do not agree with the specified values; the mirror, for a mirror mounted button assembly)
- Labor time

A cause or a result a complaint states is the owner’s view or what a dealer told them, not an established fact.
Put together by FaultCrate from public records and technical documents. The cause and the repair are for the workshop to decide with the vehicle in front of it. Counts are records, not failure rates.
