Circuit Description

Each time the ignition cycles from OFF to ON, the digital radio receiver receives VIN data over the class 2 communication circuit. If the VIN data in the digital radio receiver memory matches the VIN data it receives over the class 2 communication circuit, the digital radio receiver will operate normally.

Conditions for Running the DTC

    • The DTC is run when the ignition cycles from OFF to ON.
    • Battery voltage is between 9 and 16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Installing a digital radio receiver from a different vehicle platform or installing a new body control module (BCM) and not entering the correct setup information with the scan tool.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The digital radio does not function properly. The radio displays "XM Updating".

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • Installing a new digital radio receiver.
    • Installing a new BCM setup properly with the correct VIN for that vehicle.
