INSPECT ANTENNA MOTOR

(a)  Install antenna nut.
(b)  Disconnect connector from the motor antenna control relay.
(c)  Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2

and the negative (–) lead to terminal 5 on the wire harness
side connector.

(d) Check that the motor turns (moves upward).

NOTICE: These tests must be performed quickly (within 4–8

seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.

(e) Then, reverse the polarity, check that the motor turns the

opposite way (moves downward).

NOTICE: These tests must be performed quickly (within 4–8

seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.

HINT: When the motor is normal, lower the antenna to the
lower most position.
If operation is not as specified, replace the antenna motor as-
sembly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTICE: When replacing the internal mechanism (ECU part) of the audio system, be careful that no part
of your body or clothing comes in contact with the terminals of the leads from the IC, etc. of the replace-
ment part (spare part).

HINT:

This inspection procedure is simple troubleshooting which should be carried out on the vehicle during
system operation and is based on the assumption that the cause of trouble lies with the system
components (excluding the wires and connectors, etc.).
Always inspect the trouble taking the following items into consideration.

Open or short circuit of the wire harness

Connector or terminal connection fault

The cassette tape or compact disc itself may be causing the trouble, so when troubleshooting the tape
player or CD player, always use a different cassette tape or compact disc first of all to check operation
of the tape player or CD player.

For some of problems in the following problem chart, the AUDIO SYSTEM CHECKER can be used
to inspect malfunctions of the Radio or Tape Player, and the CD PLAYER CHECKER can be used to
inspect the CD player.
The portions indicated by on the flow charts on the following pages can be inspected using a CHECK-
ER.
For instructions on how to connect the checker to the vehicle and how to use the checker, please refer
to the instruction Manual for AUDIO SYSTEM CHECKER or CD PLAYER CHECKER.
