Motor Antenna

MOTOR ANTENNA INSPECTION

1. INSPECT MOTOR ANTENNA CIRCUIT
Disconnect the motor antenna connector from the body wire harness and inspect the connector on body wire harness side, as shown.
If circuit is not as specified, inspect radio or wire harness.
If circuit is as specified, replace motor antenna.








2. INSPECT ANTENNA MOTOR
(a) Install the antenna nut.
(b) Disconnect the connector from the motor antenna control relay.
(c) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 2 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 5 on the wire harness side connector.
(d) Check that the motor turns (moves upward).

NOTE: These tests must be performed quickly (within 4 - 8 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.

(e) Then, reverse the polarity, check that the motor turns the opposite way (moves downward).

NOTE: These tests must be performed quickly (within 4 - 5 seconds) to prevent the coil from burning out.

HINT: When the motor is normal, lower the antenna to the lower most position.

If operation is not as specified, replace the antenna motor assembly.
