1. CHECK THE ANTENNA CONNECTION
| 1. | Turn the ignition off. |
| 2. | Disconnect the Radio C4 harness connector. |
| 3. | Inspect the Audio Antenna harness connection. |
Is the Antenna connection clean and secure?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Repair the Antenna connection as needed.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure).
| 1. | Connect the Antenna 9977-6-FM to the Radio C4 component connector. |
| 2. | Place the test antenna base on the roof of the vehicle. |
| 3. | Turn the ignition on. |
| 4. | Drive the vehicle outside to an un-obstructed area. |
| 5. | Turn the Radio on and select several different known good stations from the AM and FM bands. |
Is the audio reception still poor or not available?
Yes
- Replace the Radio in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure).
