DTC Descriptor

DTC B2462
- Global Positioning System (GPS) Signal Error

Circuit Description

The global positioning system (GPS) antenna is connected to the navigation radio by a coaxial cable.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The radio must detect one of the following power modes:

* ACC
* ON
* RAP
* RAP UNLK

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The navigation radio test the GPS antenna every 10 seconds.
* The radio determines there is an open in the GPS antenna.

Actions Taken When the DTC Sets

* Unable to get GPS location updated, the radio uses the last reported position and the vehicle speed signal to calculate the vehicle position.
* Route guidance may be inaccurate.
* This failure has no effect outside the navigation system.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* A current DTC clears when the radio does not detect the failure for more than 10 seconds.
* A history DTC clears after 50 ignition cycles with no repeat of the failure.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the GPS coaxial cable from the GPS antenna.
2. Ignition ON, test for 4.0-5.5 volts between the center conductor and the shield of the coaxial cable.

• If not within the specified range, replace the GPS antenna.

3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms or resistance at the GPS coaxial cable center conductor from end to end.

• If greater than the specified range, replace the GPS coaxial cable.

4. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the center conductor and the outer conductor of the GPS coaxial cable.

• If less than the specified range, replace the GPS coaxial cable.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the radio.
