Radio Broadcast cannot be Received or Poor Reception: Procedure

  1. CHECK NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the radio automatic station search function.
      1. Check the radio automatic station search function by activating it.

        Result

        Result Proceed to
        Automatic station search function does not stop A
        Automatic station search function stops on a station B

    B → See step   3 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK OPTIONAL COMPONENTS 
    1. Check optional components (sun-shade film, telephone antenna, etc.).
      1. Check if any optional components that may decrease reception capacity, such as sunshade film or a telephone antenna, are installed.

        Result

        Result Proceed to
        Optional components are installed A
        Optional components are not installed B
        NOTE:

        Do not remove optional components without the permission of the customer.

    B → See step   4 

    A → REMOVE OPTIONAL COMPONENTS AND CHECK AGAIN (SEE NOTICE ABOVE) 

  3. REPLACE NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  4. CHECK RADIO ANTENNA 
    1. Preparation for check
      1. Remove the roof antenna pole sub-assembly from the amplifier antenna assembly.
    2. Check for noise
      1. Turn the power switch on (ACC) with the navigation receiver assembly connector connected.
      2. Turn the radio on and tune into AM mode.
      3. Place a screwdriver, thin wire, or other metal object on the amplifier antenna threaded installation portion for the roof antenna pole sub-assembly and check that noise can be heard from the speakers.

        Result

        Result Proceed to
        Noise does not occur A
        Noise occurs B

    B → See step   10 

    A: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Preparation for check

      1. Remove the antenna plug from the navigation receiver assembly.
    2. Check for noise
      1. Turn the power switch on (ACC) with the navigation receiver assembly connector connected.
      2. Turn the radio on and tune into AM mode.
      3. Place a screwdriver, thin wire, or other metal object on the navigation receiver assembly antenna jack and check that noise can be heard from the speaker.

        OK

        Noise occurs.

    NG → See step   11 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NAVIGATION RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - ANTENNA AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the L40 navigation receiver assembly connector (w/ "Bluetooth" Audio System).

    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L40-13 (ANT) - L36-2 (B)*4 Always Below 1 Ω
      L40-13 (ANT) - Body ground*4 Always 10 kΩ or higher
      L34-8 (ANT) - L36-2 (B)*5 Always Below 1 Ω
      L34-8 (ANT) - Body ground*5 Always 10 kΩ or higher
