Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the antenna coax from the digital radio receiver (DRR). Connect the test antenna to the DRR.
- Turn the ignition ON, radio ON tuned to XM. Verify that DTC B1259 is not current.
- If the DTC B1259 is still current, replace the DRR.
- Ignition is OFF. Disconnect the DRR antenna from the coaxial cable. Test the resistance of the antenna coaxial cable center conductor from end to end. Verify the resistance is less than 5 ohms.
- If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms, replace the antenna coaxial cable.
- Test the resistance of the antenna coaxial cable outer shield from end to end. Verify the resistance is less than 5 ohms.
- If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms, replace the antenna coaxial cable.
- Test the resistance of the antenna coaxial cable between the center conductor and the outer conductor. Verify there is infinite resistance between both conductors.
- If there is less than infinite resistance between the inner conductor and the outer conductor of the coaxial cable, replace the antenna coaxial cable. If the coaxial cable tests normal, replace the digital radio antenna.
