Step 1

  • Verify that the vehicle is in area with good coverage.
  • Is the Vehicle in a building with a metal roof or sides?
  • Is the Vehicle in underground parking or a parking garage?
  • Is the device installed in an area in the vehicle that is surrounded or concealed by metal?
  • Is the Vehicle in a remote location where signal can be interrupted?

If the vehicle is in an area with good coverage, please continue to step 2.

Step 2

Verify the AX11 device is getting power.

  • Is the vehicle powered on?
  • Is the device connected correctly?
  • Is the diagnostic port (OBD-II/JBUS/RP-1226) on the vehicle providing power?
  • Have any fuses in the vehicle blown?
