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 |
|---|---|
02 | Short to Ground |
04 | Open Circuit |
Conditions for Running the DTC
The radio must detect one of the following power modes:
| • | ACC |
| • | ON |
| • | RAP |
| • | RAP UNLK |
DTC B2462 does not set if DTC B1328 or B1327 is current.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The navigation radio test the GPS antenna every 10 seconds. |
| • | The radio determines there is an open in the GPS antenna. |
| • | DTC B2462 does not set if DTC B1328 or B1327 is current. |
Action 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. |
| • | This failure has no effect outside the navigation system. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A current DTC clears when the radio does not detect the failure for more than 10 seconds. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 50 ignition cycles with no repeat of the failure. |
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent condition may be caused by the following:
| • | Mis-routed harness |
| • | Rubbed through wire insulation |
| • | Broken wire inside the insulation |
