Inspection Procedure
- CHECK RADIO RECEIVER
- Check the radio's automatic station search function.
- Move the vehicle to a location where radio wave reception is possible.
- Check the radio's automatic station search function by activating it.
OK: The radio's automatic station search function works properly.
OK: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER
NG: Go to Next Step
- Check the radio's automatic station search function.
- INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER
- Disconnect the radio receiver connector E69.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition ANT - Body ground Engine switch on (IG), Radio switch ON 10 to 14 V
NG: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER
OK: Go to Next Step
- CHECK OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
- Check optional components (sun-shade film, telephone antenna, etc.).
- Check if any optional components, such as sunshade film or telephone antenna that may decrease reception capacity, are installed.
OK: Optional components are installed.
NOTE: Do not remove any optional components installed by the customer without his or her consent.
- Check if any optional components, such as sunshade film or telephone antenna that may decrease reception capacity, are installed.
OK: REMOVE OPTIONAL COMPONENTS AND CHECK AGAIN (SEE NOTICE ABOVE)
NG: Go to Next Step
- Check optional components (sun-shade film, telephone antenna, etc.).
- CHECK RADIO RECEIVER
- Preparation for check
- Remove the antenna plug from the radio receiver.
- Check for noise.
- Turn the engine switch on (ACC) with the radio receiver connector connected.
- Turn the radio on and put into AM mode.
- Place a screwdriver, thin wire, or other metal object on the radio receiver's antenna jack and check that noise can be heard from the speaker.
OK: Noise occurs.
NG: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER
OK: Go to Next Step
- Preparation for check
- CHECK GLASS ANTENNA
- Check for continuity of the antenna.
HINT:
Check for continuity at the center of each antenna wire as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: When cleaning the glass, wipe it in the direction of the wire with a soft dry cloth. Take care not to damage the wire. Do not use detergents or glass cleaners with abrasive ingredients. When measuring voltage, wrap a piece of tin foil around the tip of the negative probe and press the foil against the wire with your finger, as shown in the illustration.OK: There is continuity in the antenna.
NG: REPAIR GLASS ANTENNA
OK: Go to Next Step
- Check for continuity of the antenna.
- CHECK ANTENNA CORD
- Remove the antenna plug of the radio receiver and antenna.
- Measure the resistance between the antenna cord's inner conductor and radio receiver to check for an open circuit in the antenna cord.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ω
- Measure the resistance between the antenna cord's inner conductor and body ground to check for a short circuit in the antenna cord.
Standard resistance:
10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPLACE ANTENNA CORD
OK: Go to Next Step
- REPLACE AMPLIFIER ANTENNA
- Replace the amplifier antenna and check if radio broadcasts can be received normally.
OK: Radio broadcasts can be received.
OK: END
NG: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER
- Replace the amplifier antenna and check if radio broadcasts can be received normally.
