Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Short in GPS Antenna (B15C0,B15C1)

DESCRIPTION

These DTCs are stored when the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) detects an open or a short in the telephone and GPS antenna assembly (for Roof Side) circuit. The DCM (Telematics Transceiver) receives 1574.42 - 1576.42 MHz radio frequency signals from satellites through the telephone and GPS antenna assembly (for Roof Side). The cable is a 50 Ω coaxial cable.

DTC No.
