Antenna Module (ATM)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volvo XC90, 2013 Volvo XC90, 2012 Volvo XC90, 2011 Volvo XC90, and 2010 Volvo XC90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The main function of the antenna module (ATM) is to handle the antenna signals for:

AM/FM
GPS (Global Positioning System), receiving position signals
Traffic message channel (TMC), receiving traffic information.

The antenna module (ATM) consists of a thin film antenna and a receiver. There is a base unit which only has AM/FM reception. The control module can be upgraded with GPS and traffic message channel (TMC) units. The following types are available:

base unit with only AM/FM-reception without the possibility of upgrading, for market codes EU and US
base unit with only AM/FM-reception with the possibility of upgrading, for market codes EU and US
base unit with only AM/FM-reception with the possibility of upgrading, for market code JP.

The control module is positioned in the rear of the roof. Detach the headlining in the passenger compartment if the control module is replaced.

The antenna module (ATM) uses serial communication on the MOST network to communicate with other control modules.

The control module checks activations and input and output signals via an integrated diagnostic system. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects a fault.

Any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored in the control module memory. This information can be read off using VIDA via the data link connector (DLC) in the car.

If the antenna module (ATM) is not supplied with voltage communication on the MOST net does not function and the Infotainment system shuts down.
