Diagnosis and Testing Refer to Wiring Diagrams Section 419-08, for schematic and connector information. Principles of Operation As the ignition switch is moved from position 0, the portable support electronics (PSE) module powers up and the internal micro-controller initializes the system. This includes a check to see if the cellular phone is connected using a proprietary phone serial bus (DSC). Upon receipt of this information, the micro-controller acknowledges this state by briefly sending a signal to the audio unit. Upon receipt of this signal, the audio unit displays PHONE for a short period before reverting back to its media information display. If the cellular phone is installed in the handset holder when the menu key on the audio unit is pressed, PHONE is displayed on the audio unit and further features are then available. For additional information refer to the Audio Guide. If the cellular phone is not installed into the handset holder, then the audio unit displays NO PHONE. When the cellular phone is installed in the handset holder, further selections can be made by using the SEEK or PRESET keys on the audio unit or by using the dedicated column mounted remote stalk. This allows the system to scan through the phone book memory and the phone number/name information is sent to the audio unit through the AVP bus and is displayed on screen. While the PSE module is powered up, the micro-controller also controls the charging of the cellular phone battery by monitoring the control signal lines between the cellular phone and the PSE module. When a call is made or received, the signal line is initialized, the cellular phone sends/receives its analogue information from the external transducers rather than the internal speaker-microphone. The external microphone information is digitized in the PSE module and sent to the cellular phone through the DSC bus. The downlink information is decoded from the GSM data and sent to the analogue inputs of the audio unit through the twisted pair of signal lines. If the cellular phone is removed from the handset holder while still on a call, the PSE module senses this and allows the audio unit to revert back into media mode. The cellular phone also senses this and reverts to handheld mode and will switch back to using the internal antenna rather than the glass-mounted cellular phone antenna. If the cellular phone is installed into the handset holder again, hands-free operation is restored. Inspection and Verification - Verify the customer concern by operating the system using the customers cellular phone.
- Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.
