What does this fault code mean?
The AFM tuner keeps a constant watch on the amplifier's signal. If it detects a break in the cable running from the amplifier to the module, the code is set. The fault can be checked while the radio is activated, and the radio and its reception are affected.
Possible causes

- Contact resistance or oxidation at the connections
What you can do
- 1Check the connectors at the tuner module for looseness, contact resistance and oxidation
- 2Check the antenna cable between the tuner module and the amplifier for breaks
- 3If the fault remains, have a workshop measure the antenna cable and the amplifier with diagnostic equipment
