EL-48028 Digital Radio Test Antenna

Circuit System Verification

With the vehicle outside in an area with an unobstructed view of the southern sky, tune to XM. Verify XM reception is clear and the No XM Signal message is not displayed on the radio.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the digital radio antenna coax cable from the A11 radio. Connect the EL-48028 to the radio and place on the roof of the vehicle.
2. Vehicle in Service Mode, radio tuned to XM channel 1. Verify DTC B125C is not set as current and XM reception is improved.

• If DTC B125C is set as current or the reception is not improved, replace the A11 radio.

3. Vehicle OFF, reconnect the antenna coax cable at the A11 radio. Disconnect the antenna coax cable from the T4G digital radio antenna.
4. Vehicle in Service Mode, radio ON, test for 4.5-5.5 V between the antenna coax cable center terminal and an outer shield.

• If not the specified value, replace the antenna coax cable.

5. If all circuits test normal, replace the T4G digital radio antenna.
