Antenna Coaxial Cable Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac SRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect all coax cables from the radio, radio antenna modules, and both antennas in the left and right rear windows.
- Test for infinite resistance between the antenna coax center terminal and ground.
- If less than the specified value, replace the antenna coax.
- Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance on the antenna coax center terminal from end to end.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the antenna coax.
- Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance on the antenna coax outer shield from end to end.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the antenna coax.
- Test for infinite resistance between the coax center terminal and the outer shield.
- If less than the specified value, replace the antenna coax.
IMPORTANT:
For steps 2 - 5, perform the tests on each of the disconnected coax cables.
