Title: CELLULAR COMMUNICATION: SAFETY CONNECT SYSTEM (for Gasoline Model): B15C0,B15C1; Short in GPS Antenna; 2020 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [01/2019 - 09/2019]

DTC

B15C0

Short in GPS Antenna

DTC

B15C1

Open in GPS Antenna

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.
