RBDS troubleshooting guide

Incorrect response from RBDS

Reason and rectification

Radio does not display programme
name.

Check that RBDS is turned on by pressing and
holding the TA button until the display confirms
RBDS ON. If the radio does not display a
programme service name, it is not broadcasting
RBDS data, or you are in a poor reception area.
Try retuning to another station with RBDS.

Station name is lost and displays
frequency only.

Radio has lost reception of the RBDS data due
to vehicle moving out of transmitter range, loss
of signal in a tunnel, under a garage forecourt
canopy, or similar screening. If the latter is the
case, when the vehicle is clear of the screening,
the station name will return after a short delay.

Upon operating A MEM, NO FM is
displayed when most or all of the
preset positions are selected.

The radio cannot locate nine FM, RBDS FM or
TP stations dependent upon the mode selected.
If this occurs, switch off RBDS or TA and
reselect A MEM.

Upon pressing the TA button the
radio re-tunes to another station
and displays TP SEEK.

The station selected does not have TP/TA
facility, the radio will retune to one that does.

Radio sound goes off and the
display shows PI SEEK.

The RBDS radio station selected is unable to
confirm that the frequency tuned to has the
correct RBDS data – Programme Identification
(PI). It will then seek for a frequency that has the
correct data.

Radio ‘beeps’ and the display
shows NO TA/TP and turns off TA.

The vehicle is in an area where TA broadcasts
cannot be received from any FM stations. The
radio will automatically de-select the TA feature.
