Power Up Self-Test; Error Codes - Motorola GP Series Detailed Service Manual

Error Codes

Turning on the radio using the on/off volume control starts a self-test routine which checks the RAM,
ROM checksum, EEPROM hardware and EEPROM checksum. If these checks are successfully
completed, the radio will generate the Self-Test Pass Tone. If the self-test is not successful, a "bonk"
is heard. Radios with displays are able to display these error messages:
"RAM TST ERROR" for <RAM Test Error>
•
"ROM CS ERROR" for <ROM Checksum Error>
•
"EEPRM HW ERROR" for <EEPROM Hardware Test Error>
•
"EEPRM CS ERROR" for <EEPROM Checksum Error>
•
NOTE Radio without display emits only "bonk" (300 Hz) tone if it fails the self-test.

POWER UP SELF-TEST

Corrective Action
Retest radio by turning it off and turning it on again. If
message reoccurs, replace RAM (U405).
Reprogram FLASH Memory, then retest. If message
reoccurs, replace ROM (U406).
Reprogram codeplug with correct version and retest
radio. If message reoccurs, replace EEPROM
(U407).
Reprogram codeplug.
Check connection between main board and display
module.
Replace with new display module.
