AUDIO/VIDEO
DESCRIPTION
An audio system is standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. A rear seat video system is
an available option. Several combinations of radio
receivers are offered on this model. The audio/video
system uses an ignition switched source of battery
current so that the system will only operate when
the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCESSORY/
ACCESSORY DELAY positions.
The audio system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Antenna
²CD changer (if equipped)
²DVD player (if equipped)²Radio noise suppression components
²Radio receiver
²Speakers
²Video screen (if equipped)
Certain functions and features of the audio/video
system rely upon resources shared with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communication Interface (PCI) bus network. The
data bus network allows the sharing of sensor infor-
mation. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or
of the data bus network, the use of a DRB IIItscan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are recommended.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information in this
service manual for complete standard and premium
audio system circuit diagrams. The wiring informa-
tion includes proper wire and connector repair proce-

dures, further details on wire harness routing and
retention, as well as pin-out and location views for
the various wire harness connectors, splices, and
grounds.
OPERATION
Operating instructions for the factory installed
audio systems can be found in the Owner's Manual
provided with this vehicle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUDIO
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should
begin with the use of the DRB IIItdiagnostic
tool. For information on the use of the DRB
IIIt, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service
Manual.Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

ANTENNA BODY AND CABLE
DESCRIPTION
All models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed at the right front fender
of the vehicle. The antenna mast is connected to the
center wire of the coaxial antenna cable, and is not
grounded to any part of the vehicle.
OPERATION
To minimize static, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxial antenna cable shield (the
outer wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to the
antenna base and the radio chassis.
The antenna coaxial cable has an additional dis-
connect, located near the right end of the instrument
panel. This additional disconnect allows the instru-
ment panel assembly to be removed and installed
without removing the radio.

The ohmmeter test lead connections for each test
are shown in (Fig. 1).
TEST 1
Test 1 determines of the antenna mast is insulated
from the base. Proceed as follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable from the
radio chassis and isolate. Remove the antenna mast.
(2) Connect an ohmmeter test lead to the inside
center of the antenna base. Connect the other test
lead to a metallic portion on the outside of the
antenna base. Check for continuity.
(3) There should be no continuity. If continuity is
found, replace the faulty or damaged antenna base
and cable assembly.

TEST 2
Test 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as
follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable connector
from the radio chassis. Remove the antenna mast.
(2) Connect an ohmmeter test lead to the inside
center of the antenna base. Connect the other test
lead to the center pin of the antenna coaxial cable
connector.
(3) Continuity should exist (the ohmmeter should
only register a fraction of an ohm). High or infinite
resistance indicates damage to the base and cable
assembly. Replace the faulty base and cable if
required.
TEST 3
Test 3 checks the condition of the ground between
the antenna base and the vehicle body as follows:
(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the fender
on an exposed metal area. Connect the other test
lead to the outer crimp on the antenna coaxial cable
connector.(2) The resistance should be less than (1) ohm.
(3) If the resistance is more than (1) ohm, clean
and/or tighten the antenna base to the fender mount-
ing hardware.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove glove box from instrument panel,
(Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/GLOVE
BOX - REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect antenna cable connector from exten-
sion cable (Fig. 2).
(4) Remove right kick trim panel.
(5) Disengage rubber grommet insulator from door
hinge pillar.
(6) Pull antenna cable through hinge pillar into
opening between door hinges.
(7) Hoist and support vehicle on safety stands.
(8) Remove front wheel.
(9) Remove front wheelhouse splash shield. (Refer
to 23 - BODY/EXTERIOR/LF WHEELHOUSE
SPLASH SHIELD - REMOVAL).

ANTENNA MODULE - EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
The antenna module is an electromagnetic circuit
component designed to capture and enhance RF
(Radio Frequency) signals in both the AM and FM
broadcast bands. The antenna module is mounted to
the right rear roof rail under the headliner. The mod-
ule is grounded through the mounting bracket and
fastener. The module has a two wire electrical con-
nector that connects to the integral radio antenna,
located on the right rear quarter glass. There is also
an electrical connector for battery voltage and a coax
cable connector.
OPERATION
The antenna module receives both AM and FM
radio signals supplied by the side window integral
radio antenna system and selectively amplifies them.
The amplified signal is then sent through the body
length coax cable to the radio input.
