Diagnostic Instructions

•	Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

•	Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

•	Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors

DTC B2462 02: Global Positioning System (GPS) Short to Ground

DTC B2462 04: Global Positioning System (GPS) Open Circuit

The global positioning system (GPS) aerial is connected to the navigation radio by a shielded coaxial cable. The GPS aerial is powered through the same coaxial cable used to send signals to the navigation system.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The radio is ON.

•	Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B2462 02

The DTC will set when the navigation radio detects a short to ground in the GPS aerial signal circuit.

B2462 04

The DTC will set when the navigation radio detects an open/high resistance in the GPS aerial signal circuit.

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.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.

•	A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

The global positioning system (GPS) 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.

Circuit/System Testing

Ignition OFF, disconnect the navigation aerial coax cable from the A11 radio.
Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 V between the coax cable connection centre conductor at the radio and ground.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the radio.

Ignition OFF, reconnect the navigation aerial coax cable at the A11 radio.
Disconnect the aerial coax cable from the T4M navigation aerial.
Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 V between the coax cable centre conductor and the outer shield.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the coax cable.

If all circuits test normal, replace the T4M navigation aerial.
