Diagnosis instructions

The antenna diagnosis runs as follows:

The self-diagnosis of the antenna diversity is triggered in the test module of the BMW diagnosis system. The self-diagnosis includes a check of the antenna inputs on the basis of a current measurement (direct current). If a fault is found, the antenna diagnosis aborts after the self-diagnosis.

If the self-diagnosis has a positive result, the FM antennas are specifically activated and evaluated with regard to field strength (check of the antennas).
