It is critical to use the service replacement K73 Telematics Communication Interface Module only in the vehicle for which it was ordered.
Failure to perform the following procedures will result in a red LED, DTC(s) being set, and limited or incomplete OnStar® services.
An OnStar® button press to the OnStar® call center is required to complete the procedure.
To fully activate an OnStar® module, both the setup and activation request procedures must be completed on all vehicles with and without an active OnStar® subscription to insure the unit has been setup properly for the vehicle it has been installed into and also to update the OnStar® with the correct unit information.
To initialize the Turn-by-Turn feature, the vehicle must first be driven In open sky condition at speeds greater than 10 mph (16 kph) or more for a minimum of 5 miles (8 km), and perform at least 2 left and 2 right 90 degree turns coming to complete stops prior to each turn.
On vehicles up fitted with TTY capabilities, it is necessary to perform a power cycle of the OnStar® Interface Module (OTIM), and toggle the TTY mode after completing the Communication Interface Module installation and setup procedures.
