Wireless Antenna Inspection Procedure

WIRELESS ANTENNA INSPECTION PROCEDURE:

If wireless operation is verifiably inoperative, use Procedure A, otherwise use Procedure B.

PROCEDURE A:





Remove antenna cable from receiver. Insert key into receiver antenna port as shown. Press transmitter button several times while monitoring door lock operation.

If door locks are still inoperative, the antenna circuit is not the primary problem.

If door lock operation is consistent:

1. Inspect rear glass for damaged or broken wires and replace glass if necessary.

2. If rear glass is OK, replace wireless antenna cable.

PROCEDURE B:

Perform the following checks:

1. Inspect rear glass for damaged or broken wires and replace glass if necessary.

2. Inspect antenna cable connections at rear glass and at receiver.

3. Physically inspect antenna cable for pinches or breaks and replace cable if necessary.

4. Check continuity through inner coaxial cable wire and replace cable if necessary.
