I have some more info to provide. PLEASE HELP!
There are consistent issues with navigation when this happens. Sometimes the location on the map works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it has the "no gps" symbol present, sometimes it doesn't. Navigation is almost always affected in one way or another.
I bought a ODB adapter and downloaded Forscan and while it's in it's non working state, Forscan does not detect an ACM at all. If I remove power for a hard reset and re-scan in Forscan, it will find the ACM.
If i run a test on the APIM while it's locked up (and there's no ACM being detected by Forscan), I get a DTC:
After a hard reset (Cut Power) I can run a test on the APIM and the ACM without any DTCs.
I was thinking very strongly that this was the APIM, but I'm now starting to be suspicious of the ACM as well.
I then pulled out the ACM and APIM and had a look at them and I see a sticker on the ACM that looks a lot like a stock/inventory number a parts house might use. I am not the original owner, and I'm starting to wonder if the ACM has been replaced before.
Does the fact navigation is affected point to APIM?
Does the fact that my ACM has Sirius mean it's tied to the satellite coax and that could be the reason it's affecting the Nav functoin?
Do I have a bad antenna/coax that's causing this whole mess?
Thoughts?
