Antenna

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
REPLACEMENT
1.Remove the right C filler trim(A) and luggage side trim. (Refer to Body group - Interior trim).
2.Remove the diversity(C) after removing 1P connector (A) and radio feeder cable (B).
3.Remove the glass antenna radio amplifier (A) - Left/Right each 1 ea- after removing radio feeder cable (B) and
amplifier wiring (C) from the glass antenna radio amplifier (A).
4.Installation is the reverse of removal.
INSPECTION
GLASS ANTENNA TEST
1. Wrap aluminum foil (A) around the tip of the tester probe (B) as shown.

2.Touch one tester probe to the glass antenna terminal (A) hear, and move the other tester probe along the antenna
wires to check that continuity exists.
GLASS ANTENNA REPAIR
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.
2.Carefully mask above and below the broken portion of the glass antenna wire (B) with cellophane tape (C).
3. Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat of silver conductive paint (A) extending about 1/8"on both sides of the
break. Allow 30 minutes to dry.
Thoroughly mix the paint before use.

4.Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
5. Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it dry three hours before removing the tape.
DIVERSITY & RADIO AMPLIFIER INSPECTION
1.Disconnect power connector 1P (A) from the diversity.
2. Turn the radio ON.
Measure the voltage between the harness side power connector and body ground.
OK : approximately 12V (ACC+)
3.Remove the radio feeder cable from the diversity and radio amp.
4. Check for continuity between diversity and right side radio amp feeder cable (B).
5. Check for continuity between diversity and left side radio amplifier feeder cable (C).
6. Disconnect the 2P power connector from the glass antenna radio amplifier.

7.Check for continuity between terminals of harness side connector and antenna grid terminals (AM, FM).
8. Check the grid lines for continuity.
9. When a poor radio reception is not repaired through the above inspection methods, replace the amp.
If the radio reception is still poor, check the radio cable for short and radio head unit for failure.
ANTENNA CABLE
1.Remove the antenna jack from the audio unit and antenna.
2. Check for continuity between the center poles of antenna cable.
3.Check for continuity between the outer poles of antenna cable. There should be continuity.
4.If there is no continuity, replace the antenna cable.
5. Check for continuity between the center pole of antenna cable and terminal of glass antenna. There should be
continuity.
6.If there is no continuity, replace the antenna amplifier.
7. Check for continuity between the center pole (A) and outer pole (B) of antenna cable. There should be no
continuity.

8.If there is continuity, replace the antenna cable.

REPLACEMENT
1.Disconnect the negative ( - ) battery terminal.
2. Remove the driver airbag module(A). (Refer to the airbag group).
3.Remove the audio remote control switch (A) after removing the steering wheel remote control switch connector and
2 screws.
4.Installation is the reverse of removal.
INSPECTION
1.Check for resistance between No.2 and No.3 terminals in each switch position.
