Inspection |
1. |
Wrap aluminum foil (A) around the tip of the tester probe (B)
and move the probe along the grid line to check whether the circuit
opens. |
2. |
Bring one end of the tester probe into contact with the glass
antenna terminal (A) while moving the other end along the antenna wires
to check for continuity. |
To make an effective repair, the broken section must be no longer than one inch. |
1. |
Lightly rub the area around the broken section (A) with fine
steel wool, and then clean it with alcohol with the masking tape
attached as shown below. |
2. |
Mix conductive paint with thinner and apply the mixture three times at an interval of 15 minutes. |
3. |
Before supplying power, take the masking tape off. For a
refined finish, remove the extra paint with a knife after the paint
dries up (for about 1 day).
|
4. |
Check for continuity in the repaired wire. |
1. |
Remove the right rear quarter trim glass antenna, and then disconnect the power wiring from the amplifier. |
2. |
Turn the radio ON.
Measure the voltage between terminal 2 of the harness side feeder cable (A) and body ground (B).
|
3. |
Using the tester, measure the wiring resistance value of AM between 1 and 2.
|
4. |
Using the tester, measure the wiring resistance value of FM between A and B.
|
5. |
Check the grid lines for continuity. |
6. |
In case that radio reception is poor even after the circuit inspection, replace the glass antenna amp.
If reception quality is not improved, check the radio cable and audio unit. |
1. |
Check for continuity between the center poles of antenna cable. |
2. |
Check for continuity between the outer poles of antenna cable. There should be continuity. |
3. |
If there is no continuity, replace the antenna cable. |
4. |
Check for continuity between the center pole (A) of antenna cable and terminal of glass antenna (B). There should be continuity. |
5. |
If there is no continuity, replace the antenna amplifier. |
6. |
Check for continuity between the center pole (A) and outer pole (B) of antenna cable. There should be no continuity. |
7. |
If there is continuity, replace the antenna cable. |
Removal |
1. |
Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal. |
2. |
Remove the roof trim.
(Refer to Body - "Roof Trim Assembly") |
3. |
Disconnect the connector (A) of roof antenna. |
4. |
After loosening a nut (B) fastened to the combined antenna. |
1. |
Install the WI-FI antenna. |
2. |
Install the main crash pad assembly. |
Installation |
1. |
