GPS (Global Positioning System) Receiver

The GPS receiver module of the previous Mk-2 system is integrated into the housing of the Mk-3 computer, further reducing the complexity and the number of components used in the system. The receiver is not serviceable.

The GPS receiver is responsible for receiving the satellite signals and providing the vehicle's position information to the navigation computer

Information provided by the GPS receiver to the navigation computer can be displayed in the service mode (see  WORKSHOP HINTS   )  but is not typically used in diagnosis.
