PINPOINT TEST 3: THE POSITION CURSOR IS INACCURATE - HYBRID
Normal Operation
The primary source of vehicle location for the navigation system is the audio control module (ACM) receiving the position signal through the global
positioning system (GPS) antenna.In addition, the ACM receives the wheel pulse signal from the instrument cluster (IC), which gateways the signal from
the ABS module. This secondary signal is used to calculate vehicle position when the GPS signal is lost. It also supports the adaptive learning function of
the ACM, whereby the ACM can compensate for long-term differences between the GPS signal location, and the actual distance traveled by the vehicle.
-
DTC B2204 (GPS Antenna Connection Open or Short) - sets when an open, short to ground, or short to voltage is detected in the GPS antenna
circuit. If DTC B2204 is present, see - See: Pinpoint Test 1: No Global Positioning System (GPS) Antenna Signal.
-
DTC U0155 (Lost Communication With Instrument Panel Cluster [IC] Control Module) - sets when the ACM is missing messages from the IC for
greater than 5 seconds.
-
DTC U2473 (Unexpected Vehicle Speed [VSS]) - sets when the calculated vehicle distance traveled based on the wheel pulse signal does not
agree with the GPS antenna location. To do this, the ACM compares the wheel pulse signal during a 4-second range, and compares it with the
change in GPS antenna location. If the ACM finds that the variation is greater than 0.5% after performing this check 4 times, it sets DTC U2473.
