GPS Icon Is White (No GPS Reception)

GPS icon is white (no GPS reception)

NOTE:
- Make sure the vehicle is parked outside and away from buildings.
- Refer to GPS information for real-time satellite reception display.

1. Check for electronic aftermarket accessories (possibly hidden) mounted near the GPS antenna or the navigation unit.

Are there any electronic accessories?

YES - Disable the accessories and recheck.

NO - Go to step 2.

2. Go into the Diagnostic mode and use the "Navi System Link" diagnostic to check the GPS antenna.

Is "GPS Ant" icon red?

YES - Use the "Navi ECU" diagnostic under Unit Check to check for a kinked, crushed, or disconnected GPS antenna wire. If necessary, try a known-good GPS antenna. If icon is still red, replace the navigation unit.

NO - Check that nothing is blocking the GPS antenna located under the dashboard and recheck. Substitute a known-good navigation unit, and recheck.
