Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. 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.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the GPS antenna coax cable from the navigation radio.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 volts between the radio coax cable connection center conductor and ground.
    • If not within the specified range, replace the radio.
  3. If all circuits test normal, replace the GPS antenna.
