    1. YES  - Check the connector at the XM receiver and navigation unit 20P connector. If the connection is OK, substitute a known-good XM receiver, and recheck. If the symptom goes away, replace the original XM receiver.
    2. NO  - Go to step 2.
  2. Substitute a known-good navigation unit (see NAVIGATION UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  ), and recheck.

    Can the navigation control the XM radio?
