Vehicles produced from 09/2011 with option 6FC (Radio MINI Boost CD)

SITUATION
The SIRIUS satellite radio "icon" is suddenly missing from the radio MODE list.

^ Satellite radio can no longer be selected

^ Ignition OFF/ON does not resolve the issue

^ Fault Code "0xABEB: Error in connection from Diversity to Antennas" is stored in the radio.

CAUSE
Internal fault in the radio

CORRECTION
Perform diagnostics using the latest ISTA version.

Note:
When the ISTA system message displays: Battery voltage only "XX.XX" V. Connect charger.

Please note the displayed battery voltage reading in the repair order comments section.

Important:
Fault Code "0xABEB: Error in connection from Diversity to Antennas" can be ignored for this issue; no need to perform the test module.

If no other fault code besides "0xABEB" is stored, replace the radio and program the vehicle.

Note:
When the condition described above exists, there will be no applicable test plan to generate a corresponding Diagcode.

Note that ISTA/P will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the latest software.

For information on programming and coding with ISTA/P, refer to CenterNet / Aftersales Portal / Service / Workshop Technology / Vehicle Programming.
