Inspection
1. |
Wrap aluminum foil (A) around the tip of the tester probe (B)
as shown.
|
2. |
Touch one tester probe to the glass antenna terminal (A) and move
the other tester probe along the antenna wires to check that continuity
exists.
|
To make an effective repair, the broken section must be no longer
than one inch.
|
1. |
Lightly rub the area around the broken section (A) with fine steel
wool, and then clean it with alcohol.
|
2. |
Carefully mask above and below the broken portion of the glass
antenna wire (B) with cellophane tape (C).
|
3. |
Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat of silver conductive paint
(A) extending about 1/8″on both sides of the break. Allow 30 minutes
to dry.
|
4. |
Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
|
5. |
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it dry three
hours before removing the tape.
|
1. |
Remove the right side rear quarter trim.
Then disconnect the antenna feeder cable (A) from the glass antenna
amp.
|
2. |
Turn the radio ON.
Measure the voltage between the harness side feeder cable (A)
and body ground (B).
|
3. |
Check for FM wire resistance between terminals of No.1 and 3
1. FM antenna grid terminal
2. AM antenna grid terminal
3. Body ground.
|
4. |
Check for AM wire resistance between terminals of No.2 and 3.
|
5. |
Check the grid lines for continuity.
|
6. |
When a poor radio reception is not repaired through the above
inspection methods, replace the amp.
If the radio reception is still poor, check the radio cable for
short and radio head unit for failure.
|
1. |
Remove the antenna jack (A) from the AVN unit and antenna.
|
2. |
Check for continuity between the center poles of antenna cable.
|
3. |
Check for continuity between the outer poles of antenna cable.
There should be continuity.
|
4. |
If there is no continuity, replace the antenna cable.
|
5. |
Check for continuity between the center pole (A) and window antenna
pole (B). There should be continuity.
|
6. |
If there is not continuity, replace the external amplifier.
|
7. |
Check for continuity between the center pole (A) and outer pole
(B) of antenna cable. There should be no continuity.
|
8. |
If there is continuity, replace the antenna cable.
