DTC B2462

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview) 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




Circuit Description

The global positioning system (GPS) antenna is connected to the navigation radio by a shielded coaxial cable. The GPS antenna is powered through the same coaxial cable used to send signals to the navigation system. The antenna cable also provides a path for DC current for powering the GPS antenna.


Conditions for Running the DTC

* Radio 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 antenna signal circuit.

B2462 04

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

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the coax harness connectors at the navigation radio and the GPS antenna.
2. Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the two ends of the coax cable center conductor.

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

3. Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the two ends of the coax cable outer shield.

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

4. Test for infinite resistance between the coax center conductor and the outer shield.

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

5. Connect the coax harness connector at the navigation radio.
6. Ignition ON, test for 4.0- 5.5 volts between the coax center conductor and the outer shield.

• If not within the specified range, replace the navigation radio.

7. If all circuits test normal, replace the GPS antenna.
