INSPECTION PROCEDURE

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

1. Check for optional components (sunshade 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

      NOTICE:

      Do not remove any optional components installed by the customer without his or her consent.

1. 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 antenna jack and check that noise can be heard from the speakers.
      

      OK:

      Noise can be heard from the speaker.
      

1. Check for continuity of the antenna.
   

   HINT:

   Check for continuity at the center of each antenna wire as shown in the illustration.

   NOTICE:

   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 each probe and press the foil against the wire with your finger, as shown in the illustration.

   OK:

   There is continuity in the antenna.
   

1. Disconnect the RA radio receiver assembly connector.
   

2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard Voltage:

   Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
   RA-5 (ANT+) - Body ground	Engine switch on (ACC) Radio switch on	11 to 14 V

   *1	Component without harness connected (Radio Receiver Assembly)

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

2. Measure the resistance between the antenna and radio receiver assembly 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
   

1. Replace the amplifier antenna assembly and check if radio broadcasts can be received normally (Click here).
   

   OK:

   Radio broadcasts can be received.
