GPS light goes OFF. 6. CELL light remains ON. 7. Cell light goes OFF. LED Lights and Diagnostic Connector 8. When both lights come back ON, system is OK. 1—GPS and CELL Lights 2—Diagnostic Connector 9. If both lights DO NOT come back ON, go to Problem Diagnosis.
Installation Instruction PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS Symptom Problem Solution LED Lights Do Not Come ON When Key Is Turned ON Blown fuses Check fuses in power harness Connection to alternator incorrect Check harness connections to terminals on alternator. B+ unswitched power (Red Wire) must be connected to positive (+) power source. GND (Black wire) must be connected to clean frame ground. D+ switched power (Brown Wire) must be connected to positive (+) power source. Voltage with key ON.
Installation Instruction Symptom Problem Solution LED harness failure Check for battery voltage on both Yellow wires in six-pin connector on communications controller harness as key is turned ON (Use the Black wire in that connector as a ground reference). Voltage may fluctuate for five seconds, but should remain constant after that. If voltage is present on yellow wires, but LED lights aren’t ON, harness has failed. replace harness.
Installation Instruction Symptom GPS LED Light Does Not Come ON (Engine Running) Problem Solution GPS antenna failure Check general antenna condition, replace if damage is seen. GPS antenna cable connection Check GPS antenna cable connections at antenna and communications controller. Communications controller failure Replace antenna and cable. If LEDs do not come ON and voltage checks are OK, replace communications controller.
