Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

3: Due to current limiting capabilities in the module, an antenna cable shorted to ground could still show 1200-1800 mV.

3	Test the antenna cables for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 10	Go to Step 8
4	Disconnect the antenna cables from the digital radio receiver. Measure the voltage from the center conductor of the inboard antenna connector on the digital radio receiver to one of the case screws. Does the voltage measure within the specified range?	4.5-5.5 V	Go to Step 5	Go to Step 6
5	Test the antenna cables for an open, or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 10	Go to Step 8
6	Inspect for poor connections at the digital radio receiver. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 10	Go to Step 7
7	Replace the digital radio receiver. Refer to Receiver Replacement - Digital Radio . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 10	-
8	Inspect for poor connections at the digital radio antenna. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 10	Go to Step 9
9	Replace the digital radio antenna. Refer to Antenna Replacement - Digital Radio . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 10	-
10	Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text. Does the DTC reset?	-	Go to Step 2	System OK
