telematics / Navi.
3. Enter / Access Fault Codes. Are there any fault codes present?
YES NO
4. If yes, list the fault(s) below.
________________________________________________________________
5. Enter / Access the fault code. What do you observe with SDS/DAS as the test
is being entered (keep your eyes on the screen)?
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
6. According to SDS, does N112 (Telecommunication Control Module) have the
D611 code present or not present (Hint: Press F1 if needed to see previous
screen. Press F5 to return to the test when done)?
________________________________________________________________
7. What type of electrical test is performed to test the cable according to SDS?
________________________________________________________________
8. According to SDS, how are the cables checked to accurately diagnose for open
circuits?
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
9. Between which two components would you perform this test?

11. Press F3 (YES) as if the wiring is good. What is the list of possible cause and
remedy?
_______________________________________________________________
12. Press F1 to back out of this page. Now press F4 (NO) as if measured value is
not good. What is the list of possible cause and remedy?
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
13. On a model 211, where is the location of the Navigation Processor according to
WIS? (Hint: GF82.85)
________________________________________________________________
Note: The antenna splitter A2/5 is located above and behind the Rear SAM
N10/2. At the current time this information is not present in either WIS or
StarFinder.
14. Using a DVOM, perform test Test of Cable A2/49a2 (GPS Antenna) (Open
Circuit). Record your results below.
Note: The antenna splitter A2/5 has one cable that connects to it from A2/49a2
on one end. The other end has two cables. One cable goes to the Navigation
Processor and is connected to the black lock clip. The other cable goes to the
Telecommunications Control Unit and is connected to the red lock clip.
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
15. Based on your test results, is the cable good? YES NO
16. If not already done, please reconnect the cable the Navigation Processor N41/1
and to the Antenna Splitter A2/5.

25. If yes, please write the displayed message below.
________________________________________________________________
26. Enter /Access Fault codes once again. Follow the same step as in question 18
-20. Now do you have any fault codes for GPS Antenna? YES NO
27. If yes, what is the fault code?
________________________________________________________________
28. Enter /Access this fault code. Choose the test, Test of Cable GPS Antenna
(open circuit).
29. What is the similarity of this test as compared to the open circuit cable test with
the Navigation Processor?
