GPS icon is white or not shown

NOTE:
  • Check the vehicle battery condition first (see BATTERY TEST ).
  • With good reception, the icon is normally green.
  • Make sure the GPS antenna is plugged in.
  • Check for any aftermarket accessories or metallic window tinting that may be interfering with the GPS signal.
  • Make sure the vehicle is parked outside, away from buildings.
  • Refer to GPS Information  for real-time satellite reception display.
  1. Check for aftermarket metallic window tint on the front window and electronic aftermarket accessories (possibly hidden) mounted near the GPS antenna or the audio-navigation unit.

    Is there aftermarket metallic window tint or electronic accessories? 

    YES  - Remove tint or the accessories, and recheck. ■

    NO  - Go to step 2.

  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
  3. Go into the System Diagnostic Mode , and use the System Link to check the GPS antenna.

    Is the GPS Ant icon red? 

    YES  - Check for a kinked, crushed, or disconnected GPS antenna wire. If icon is still red, replace the GPS antenna . ■

    NO  - Check that nothing is blocking the GPS antenna located under the package shelf, and recheck. Substitute a known-good GPS antenna , and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original GPS antenna . If the symptom/indication is still present, replace the audio-navigation unit . ■
