  3. CHECK RADIO RECEIVER


    1. A01600G

      Preparation for check


      1. Remove the antenna plug from the radio receiver assembly.

    2. Check for noise.


      1. Turn the engine switch on (ACC) with the radio 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 radio receiver assembly's antenna jack and check that noise can be heard from the speaker.

        OK
        Noise occurs.

  4. CHECK GLASS ANTENNA


    1. A0162H1E01

      Check for continuity of the antenna.

      Tech Tips

      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.

  7. CHECK ANTENNA CORD


    1. Remove the antenna plug of the radio receiver and antenna.

    2. Measure the resistance between the antenna and radio receiver to check for an open circuit in the antenna cord.

      Standard resistance
      Below 1 Ω

    3. 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
