Circuit/System Testing

NOTE:

The global positioning system (GPS) requires a clear line of sight to the sky to operate properly. It may take up to 15 minutes for the Nav Radio to acquire a GPS signal. In most cases the GPS will not have reception near tall buildings or inside structures.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the GPS antenna coax cable from the navigation radio.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 V between the coax cable center conductor terminal at the radio and ground.
    • If not within the specified range, replace the radio.
  3. If all circuits test normal, replace the GPS antenna.
