Circuit Description
The navigation radio receives the vehicle speed signal from the engine control module (ECM) through a dedicated circuit shared with the instrument cluster.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B0000 Vehicle Speed Information Circuit
This vehicle has DTCs which include DTC symptoms. For more information on DTC symptoms, refer to DTC Symptom Description in Vehicle DTC Information.
DTC Symptom | DTC Symptom Descriptor |
|---|---|
5A | Plausibility Failure |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The navigation radio must detect a power mode transition to ON. |
| • | The radio does not set this DTC if B1327 or B1328 is current. |
| • | The vehicle speed must be greater than 15 km/h continuously for 10 seconds after receiving a global positioning system (GPS) signal. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The navigation radio compares the vehicle speed signal from the ECM to the GPS location signal every second. If the GPS signal indicates that the vehicle speed is greater than 15 km/h for 10 seconds, but no vehicle speed signal was received, the radio sets the DTC.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The navigation radio uses the GPS signal when the vehicle speed signal from the ECM is unavailable.
The following symptoms may happen if the vehicle speed signal from the ECM is unavailable:
| • | The vehicle icon may jump to different positions on the map screen. |
| • | The vehicle icon, current position marker may not move on the map screen while the vehicle is being driven. |
| • | The route guidance accuracy may be degraded. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears when the navigation radio detects the vehicle speed signal from the ECM for more than one second. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 50 ignition cycles without a vehicle speed signal failure. |
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent condition may be caused by the following:
| • | Mis-routed harness |
| • | Rubbed through wire insulation |
| • | Broken wire inside the insulation |
| • | A loose connector pin |
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
This step determines if the malfunction is present.
-
This step tests for an open in the vehicle speed signal circuit between the instrument cluster and the navigation radio. A short would cause the instrument cluster to malfunction as well as the navigation system.

Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information | |
Test the vehicle speed signal circuit for an open between the engine control module (ECM) and the navigation radio. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 3 | |
3 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the navigation radio. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 4 |
4 | Replace the navigation radio. Refer to Control Module References Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 5 | -- |
