INSPECTION
1. Auto Antenna Models:
INSPECT ANTENNA MOTOR
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
2 and the negative (±) lead to terminal 5.
(b) Check that the motor turns (moves upward).
NOTICE:
These tests must be done quickly (within 3 ± 5 seconds) to
prevent the coil from burning out.
(c) Then, reverse the polarity, check that the motor turns the
opposite way (moves downward).
NOTICE:
These tests must be done quickly (within 3 ± 5 seconds) to
prevent the coil from burning out.
2. Auto Antenna Models:
