DTC

B1573

Short in Telephone Antenna Circuit

DTC

B15CB

Telematics Transceiver Antenna Disconnected

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) oscillates and receives 824 - 894 MHz or 1850 - 1990 MHz radio-frequency through the telephone and GPS antenna assembly (for Roof Side).

DTC No.
