Inspection Procedure
- CHECK RADIO RECEIVER
- Check the radio automatic station search function
- Check the radio automatic station search function by activating it.
OK: The radio automatic station search function works properly.
- Check the radio automatic station search function by activating it.
NG: Go to step 2
OK: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER (See REMOVAL )
- Check the radio automatic station search function
- CHECK OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
- Check optional components (sunshade film, telephone antenna, etc.).
- Check if any optional components that may decrease reception capacity, such as sunshade film or a telephone antenna, 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 that may decrease reception capacity, such as sunshade film or a telephone antenna, are installed.
NG: Go to step 3
OK: REMOVE OPTIONAL COMPONENTS AND CHECK AGAIN (SEE NOTICE ABOVE)
- Check optional components (sunshade film, telephone antenna, etc.).
- CHECK RADIO RECEIVER
- Preparation for check
- Remove the antenna plug from the radio receiver assembly
- Check for noise
- Turn the engine switch on (ACC) with the radio receiver assembly connector connected
- Turn the radio on and tune into AM mode.
- Place a screwdriver, thin wire, or other metal object on the radio receiver assembly's antenna jack and check that noise can be heard from the speaker
OK: Noise occurs.
NG: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER (See REMOVAL )
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 resistance, 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 (See REPAIR )
OK: Go to next step
- Check for continuity of the antenna
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER - ANTENNA AMPLIFIER)
- Disconnect the radio receiver assembly connector
- Disconnect the antenna amplifier connector
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition J66-13 (ANT) - J67-1 (B) Always Below 1 Ω J66-13 (ANT) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER
- Reconnect the radio receiver connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below
Standard Voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition J67-1 (B) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) Radio switch ON 11 to 14 V
NG: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER (See REMOVAL )
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK ANTENNA CORD
- Remove the antenna plug of the radio receiver and antenna.
- Measure the resistance between the antenna 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 and body ground to check for a short circuit in the antenna cord.
Standard resistance: 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPLACE ANTENNA CORD (See REMOVAL )
OK: Go to next step
- REPLACE ANTENNA AMPLIFIER
- Replace the antenna amplifier and check if radio broadcasts can be received normally (See AMPLIFIER ANTENNA
).
OK: Radio broadcasts can be received.
NG: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER (See REMOVAL )
OK: NORMAL OPERATION
- Replace the antenna amplifier and check if radio broadcasts can be received normally (See AMPLIFIER ANTENNA
).
