Circuit/System Testing

Note

The global positioning system requires a clear line of sight to the sky to operate properly. In most cases the GPS will not have reception near tall buildings or inside structures.



1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the global positioning system antenna coax cable from the A11 Radio.

2. Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 V between the GPS coax cable connection center conductor.

3. If not within the specified range, replace the A11 Radio.

4. If all circuits test normal, replace the T4E Cellular Phone and Navigation Antenna.


Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
