OnStar® Reconfiguration Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Within the vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) are a set of unique numbers that identify the OnStar® customer and the specific vehicle the module resides in. These numbers, the station identification number (STID) and the electronic serial number (ESN) are transmitted over the cellular network when an OnStar® keypress is made and are essential for proper identification and connection to the OnStar® Call Center. In the event the VCIM requires replacement, the OnStar® reconfiguration procedure must be performed. This procedure allows for the new STID and ESN within the replacement module to overwrite the old numbers and update customer and vehicle information at the OnStar® Call Center. The reconfiguration process is explained within the VCIM replacement procedure, or the OnStar® Reconfiguration Procedure found in the Cellular Communication diagnostic information and procedures section.

The default language for the new VCIM is English. Refer to Module Setup screen on the scan tool, within the Cellular Information section, if the customer requests French or Spanish Voice Recognition.
