Check xm antenna....quick fix?

On a road trip and I'm getting an alert in the display that says "check XM antenna"… A check on the other site has said that the antenna is under the left front fender per the manual… Just wondered if anybody has seen this before and there was a quick fix. I don't have any of my tools to do this in a hotel parking lot, so I think I'm out of luck but I thought I just ask…

damn, really would like a few channels for my next 1400 miles to home....

Thanks in advance.....

This is a thermal defect problem. It worked for 3 hours in the trip then became erratic, not using it for an hour or two and it worked for 15 min....ill take it in sometime, after i get a look under the fender at the antenna....
Yes, sorry, i dont mean the actual antenna, but the box, as although the message is "check antenna", I'm sure that message is generic, and its a thermal defect in the box....but while I'm swapping wheels this week, i'll inspect the antenna.....my audio experts say the antenna really can't overheat...
