- Ignition OFF, disconnect the GPS coaxial cable from the GPS antenna.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.0-5.5 volts between the center conductor and the shield of the coaxial cable.
- If not within the specified range, replace the GPS antenna.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms or resistance at the GPS coaxial cable center conductor from end to end.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the GPS coaxial cable.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the center conductor and the outer conductor of the GPS coaxial cable.
- If less than the specified range, replace the GPS coaxial cable.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the radio.
