Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 GMC Acadia, 2013 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2013 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
The global positioning system (GPS) requires a clear line of sight to the sky to operate properly. In most cases the GPS will not have reception near tall buildings or inside structures.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the GPS antenna coax cable from the navigation radio.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 volts between the coax cable connection center conductor at the radio and ground.
- If not within the specified range, replace the radio.
- If all circuits test normal, connect the EL-49903
GM Antenna Diagnostic Tool Kit to the vehicle radio, place the test antenna on the roof of the vehicle, and check for GPS reception.
- If GPS reception does not return with the test antenna, replace the GPS antenna.
