Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT: The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) has a specific set of unique numbers that tie the module to each vehicle. These numbers, the 10-digit station identification and the 11-digit electronic serial number, are used by the National Cellular Network and OnStar® to identify the specific vehicle. Because these numbers are tied to the vehicle identification number of the vehicle, you must never exchange these parts with those of another vehicle.

CAUTION: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Cautions and Notices.

Disconnect the battery ground cable.
