The navigation radio receives the vehicle speed signal from the engine control module (ECM) through a dedicated circuit shared with the instrument cluster.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC B0001 Vehicle Speed Information Circuit Range/Performance
• | 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 must drive for 4 km (2.5 mi) after receiving a global positioning system (GPS) signal. |
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 has traveled 4 km (2.5 mi) but no vehicle speed signal was received, the radio sets the DTC.
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. |
• | 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. |
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 |
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
Determines if the malfunction is present.
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 Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information | |
2 | Verify the instrument cluster speedometer operation. Does the speedometer work on the instrument cluster? | Go to Step 3 | Go to Symptoms - Instrument Panel, Gages and Console in Instrument Panel, Gages, and Console |
Test the vehicle speed signal circuit for an open between the instrument cluster and the navigation radio. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 4 | |
4 | 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 6 | Go to Step 5 |
5 | Replace the navigation radio. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems. Did you complete the replacement? | Go to Step 6 | -- |
