DTC B2470

Diagnostic Instructions

•  Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
•  Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
•  Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptors

DTC B2470 01: Cellular Phone Antenna Circuit Short to Battery
DTC B2470 02: Cellular Phone Antenna Circuit Short to Ground
DTC B2470 04: Cellular Phone Antenna Circuit Open Circuit

Circuit/System Description

The cellular phone antenna is connected to the Mobile Telephone Control Module. This module supplies 5 V to the cellular phone antenna to power the internal amplifier.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•  Ignition in the RUN or ACCESSORY position.
•  System voltage is between 9.5-15.5 V.
•  The above conditions are present for greater than 1 s.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The Mobile Telephone Control Module does not detect the presence of a cellular phone antenna.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Mobile telephone communication can not be establish.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•  The Mobile Telephone Control Module detects the presence of a cellular phone antenna.
•  A history DTC clears after 50 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Verify that the Cellular Phone Antenna assembly is not damaged.

If the antenna assembly is damaged, replace the T4F Cellular Phone Antenna or T4E Cellular Phone and Navigation Antenna.

Circuit/System Testing


Note: 
The vehicle may be equipped with sectioned coax. Test each section and replace only the faulty section, not the entire length of coax.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the cellular coax cable connector at the T4F Cellular Phone Antenna or T4E Cellular Phone and Navigation Antenna.
2. Ignition ON, Test for 5 V between the coax cable center wire and the outer coax shield.
If less than the specified range, test the coax cable for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. if the coax cable test normal, replace the K82 Mobile Telephone Control Module.
If greater than the specified range, test the coax cable for a short to voltage. if the coax cable test normal, replace the K82 Mobile Telephone Control Module.
3. If all circuits test normal, replace the T4F Cellular Phone Antenna or T4E Cellular Phone and Navigation Antenna.

Component Testing

Caution: Refer to Test Probe Caution


Note: 
Before testing the coax cable, check the cable exterior for being pinched, cut, damaged, or having loose connections at the components, which can cause reception issues.
To prevent false reading when testing the center coax terminals, use care not to ground the test probe on the outer housing/shield.

Coax Cable Test

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the coax cable at both components.
2. Test for less than 5 Ω between both ends of the coax cables center terminals.
If greater than the specified range, replace the failed coax cable.
3. Test for greater than infinite resistance between the coax cable center wire and the outer coax shield.
If less than the specified range, replace the coax cable.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
