GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
Each radio receives ignition feed from an ignition
switch controlled fuse. There is an additional in-line
fuse in the back of the radio chassis. The in-line fuse
will blow in the event an internal short occurs.
The electronically tuned radio (ETR)/cassette
models protect the vehicle from a radio failure
with an in-line fuse located in the rear of the ra-
dio chassis (Fig. 1).
XJ/YJ vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicles
are shipped from the factory. This fuse is in the
Power Distribution Center to prevent battery dis-
charge during storage. For specific location refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
The IOD fuse is in the radio memory circuitry and
should be checked if the memory (time or radio sta-
tion programming) is inoperative.
All radios are connected to the radio illumination
relay. When the ignition switch is in ON or ACCES-
SORY and the radio illumination relay remains de-
energized, the radio receives battery voltage via the
relay from the:
²(20 amp #7 fuse YJ)
²(15 amp #2 fuse XJ).
The radio illumination relay is energized when the
headlamp switch is used to turn on the parklamps or
headlamps. Battery voltage is switched to the dimdisplay input of the radio through the relay contacts.
The radio panel illumination is dimmed for night
driving.
The ETR models require an additional battery feed
connection to the (10 amp #F16 fuse-YJ), (10 amp
#9 fuse-XJ) to retain the radio's memory when the
ignition switch is turned OFF.
ETR models are self-compensating. A radio
trimmer adjustment is not required.
DIAGNOSIS
RADIO INOPERATIVE
Turn ignition switch to ON
²Inspect the (#7-YJ), (#2-XJ) fuse and replace if
necessary.
²Measure voltage at battery side of the fuse. There
should be 12 volts. If not, repair open from ignition
switch.
²Inspect in-line fuse at rear of radio and replace if
necessary.
Turn ignition switch to OFF.
²Disconnect radio connector. Measure resistance
from radio ground pin to a clean chassis ground.
There should be zero ohms. If not, repair open be-
tween radio connector and ground.
NO AUDIO OUTPUT ON ONE OR MORE
SPEAKERS
Refer to Radio Connector Pins.
FRONT SPEAKERS
²Radio OFF, radio connector disconnected. Measure
resistance between radio left front feed and return
connector pins. Measure between right front feed and
return connector pins. The meter should read 5 to 8
ohms. If the meter reading is correct, remove radio
for service. If not, repair wiring or replace speakers
as required.

OUTPUT; BACKGROUND NOISE PRESENT
Ignition switch in ON, radio ON.
²Inspect antenna cable and connector at radio and
tighten or repair as necessary.
²Unplug coax cable and connectors from radio. Mea-
sure resistance from center conductor to coaxial
shield. The meter should read infinite resistance
(open). If it does not, replace antenna assembly.
²Measure resistance of antenna mast to tip of cen-
ter conductor at radio end of cable. The meter should
read 0 to 0.5 ohms. If it does not, replace lead-in ca-
ble or antenna assembly.
²Measure resistance from coaxial shield to chassis
ground (vehicle body). The meter should read zero
ohms. If it does not, ground antenna base to vehicle
body, or replace antenna assembly as required
For all problems with no or low audio output
not resolved by these tests, remove radio for ser-
vice.
MEMORY DOES NOT OPERATE
²Inspect (F16 in Power Distribution Center-YJ),
(#9 in Fuse Panel-XJ) fuse and replace if necessary.
²Measure voltage at battery side of previously ref-
erenced fuse. There should be 12 volts at battery side
of fuse. If not, check the Maxi fuse.
Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
²Measure voltage at radio connector pin 4. There
should be 12 volts. If meter reading is correct, re-
move radio for service. If not, repair open from fuse.
RADIO DISPLAY ILLUMINATION (PARKLAMPS
AND HEADLAMPS OPERATING NORMALLY)

ANTENNA TESTS
Antenna ground continuity is checked with an ohm-
meter. The following four tests are required (Fig. 5):
²Mast-to-ground test 1.
²Tip of mast-to-tip of conductor test 2.
²Body ground-to-battery ground test 3.
²Body ground-to-coaxial shield test 4.
Ohmmeter test lead connections are shown in the
following schematic.
MAST-TO-GROUND TEST 1.
Test 1 determines if the antenna mast is insulated
from the base. Procedure is as follows:²Connect one ohmmeter lead to tip of antenna mast
and the other lead to the antenna base.
²With the antenna disconnected from the radio,
there should not be continuity.
TIP OF MAST-TO-TIP OF CONDUCTOR TEST 2.
Test 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as fol-
lows:
²Disconnect the antenna cable from the radio.
²Connect one ohmmeter test lead to tip of mast.
Connect remaining lead to tip of antenna cable
lead-in (the part inserted into the radio).
²Continuity should exist (ohmmeter should only
register a fraction of an ohm). High or infinite resis-
tance suggests damage to the base and cable assem-
bly that should be replaced.
BODY GROUND-TO-BATTERY GROUND TEST 3.
Test 3 checks condition of the vehicle body ground
connection as follows:
²
Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the vehicle fender
and the other lead to the battery negative post.
²Resistance should be less than one ohm.
²If resistance is more than one ohm, check the
braided ground strap connected to the engine and ve-
hicle body for being loose, corroded, or damaged. Re-
pair as necessary.
BODY GROUND-TO-COAXIAL SHIELD TEST 4.
Test 4 checks condition of the ground between the
antenna base and vehicle body as follows:
²Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the fender and
the other lead to the crimp on the coaxial shield.
²Resistance should be less then one ohm.
²
If resistance is more then one ohm, replace the antenna
base attaching screws with new cadmium plated screws.
