Circuit Description
The digital radio antenna is connected to the digital radio receiver by 2 coax cables. One coax carries the satellite signal, the other coax carries the terrestrial signal. The antenna cable for the satellite antenna also provides a path for DTC current for powering the antenna.
Conditions for Running the DTC
This test is run every 300 milliseconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The digital radio receiver detects an antenna fault.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The radio displays, No XM Signal.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition must be corrected.
