Subject: | Radio Beeps and/or the Display Shows Radio/Display Safe |
Models: | 2008 Saturn Astra |
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
A technician may comment that the radio (EHU/Infotainment) beeps and or the DIS/DIC (Radio Display/Board Computer) displays a message "Radio Safe" or "Display Safe".
The technician may have removed one or more modules by accident when attempting a repair and/or may have made an error during programming to activate the "Safe" function. Please review any previous repairs for any programming that may have caused this condition.
This condition may occur if the (EHU) radio or the (DIS) display has been replaced and not fully programmed. The radio or display may be in its secure mode and must have the "Theft Activated". This can be accomplished by accessing the programming menu of the module (EHU or DIS) that has just been replaced and selecting "Theft Activation".
This condition may also occur if the INDEX CODE was not entered correctly during programming causing "Display Safe" to display on the DIS/DIC; this also can be programmed separately from its own menu option.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
