No Global Positioning System (GPS) Reception
Diagnostic Instructions
Circuit Description
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.
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.
