Diagnostic Aids: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003 GMC Envoy XL, 2003 GMC Envoy, and 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the OnStar® Call Center has not received any global positioning system (GPS) data, this is an indication that the OnStar® call was a fail to voice and may be due to a failure in the National Cellular Network infrastructure. If this occurs, contact the General Motors Technical Assistance Center.
Inaccurate or aged GPS position concerns made by a customer which are no longer present may have been due to the temporary loss of GPS signal reception by the vehicle. Conditions such as driving through tunnels or parking structures while making an OnStar® keypress will restrict the navigation antenna from a clear view of the satellites in the sky and may have caused this temporary data loss.
