    Possible Sources 

    • Connectors damaged or pushed-out terminals, circuitry open or high resistance in the voltage feed wiring to the GSM or a loose ground.
    • Discharged battery/charging system
    • GSM

  2. J1 VERIFY THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED

    • NOTE: If necessary connect the battery charger to the vehicle battery to insure a steady battery voltage while performing this test.
