A
REMOVE OPTIONAL COMPONENTS AND CHECK AGAIN (SEE NOTICE ABOVE)

1. Preparation for check
   

   1. Remove the roof antenna pole sub-assembly from the roof antenna assembly.
      

2. Check for noise
   

   1. Turn the power switch on (ACC) with the radio receiver assembly connector connected.
      

   2. Turn the radio on and tune into AM mode.
      

   3. Place a screwdriver, thin wire, or other metal object on the amplifier antenna threaded installation portion for the roof antenna pole sub-assembly and check that noise can be heard from the speakers.
      

      Result:

      Result	Proceed to
      Noise does not occur	A
      Noise occurs	B

1. Check for continuity of the antenna.
   

   HINT:

   Check for continuity at the center of each antenna wire as shown in the illustration.

   NOTICE:

   When cleaning the glass, wipe it in the direction of the wire with a soft dry cloth. Take care not to damage the wire. Do not use detergents or glass cleaners with abrasive ingredients. When measuring resistance, wrap a piece of tin foil around the tip of each probe and press the foil against the wire with your finger, as shown in the illustration.

   OK:

   There is continuity in the antenna.
