Filament Check
1. Attach probe circuit tester (in volt range) to middle portion of
each ®lament.
+When measuring voltage, wrap tin foil around the top of
the negative probe. Then press the foil against the wire
with your ®nger.
2. To locate burned out point, move probe to left and right along
®lament. Test needle will swing abruptly when probe passes the
point.
+If a ®lament is burned out, circuit tester registers 0 or 12
volts.

Filament Repair
REPAIR EQUIPMENT
1. Conductive silver composition (Dupont No. 4817 or equivalent)
2. Ruler 30 cm (11.8 in) long
3. Drawing pen
4. Heat gun
5. Alcohol
6. Cloth
REPAIRING PROCEDURE
1. Wipe broken heat wire and its surrounding area clean with a
cloth dampened in alcohol.
2. Apply a small amount of conductive silver composition to tip of
drawing pen.
Shake silver composition container before use.
3. Place ruler on glass along broken line. Deposit conductive sil-
ver composition on break with drawing pen. Slightly overlap
existing heat wire on both sides [preferably 5 mm (0.20 in)] of
the break.
4. After repair has been completed, check repaired wire for con-
tinuity. This check should be conducted 10 minutes after silver
composition is deposited.
Do not touch repaired area while test is being conducted.
5. Apply a constant stream of hot air directly to the repaired area
for approximately 20 minutes with a heat gun. A minimum dis-
tance of 3 cm (1.2 in) should be kept between repaired area
and hot air outlet. If a heat gun is not available, let the repaired
area dry for 24 hours.

Trouble Diagnoses
RADIO
Symptom Possible causes Repair order
Radio inoperative (no digital
display and no sound from
speakers).
See NOTE.1. 10A fuse
2. Poor radio case ground
3. Radio1. Check 10A fuse [No.
10, located in fuse block (J/B)].
Turn ignition switch ON and verify battery positive volt-
age is present at terminalj
10of radio.
2. Check radio case ground.
3. Remove radio for repair.
Radio controls are operational,
but no sound is heard from
any speaker.1. Radio output
2. Radio1. Check radio output voltages.
2. Remove radio for repair.
Radio presets are lost when
ignition switch is turned OFF.1. 10A fuse
2. Radio1. Check 10A fuse (No.
56, located in fuse and fusible link
box) and verify battery positive voltage is present at terminal
j
6of radio.
2. Remove radio for repair.
Individual speaker is noisy or
inoperative.1. Speaker
2. Radio output
3. Speaker circuit
4. Radio1. Check speaker.
2. Check radio output voltages.
3. Check wires for open or short between radio and speaker.
4. Remove radio for repair.
Radio stations are weak or
noisy.1. Antenna
2. Poor radio ground
3. Radio1. Check antenna.
2. Check radio ground.
3. Remove radio for repair.
FM stations are weak or noisy
but AM stations are OK. (with
window antenna)1. Window antenna
2. Radio1. Check window antenna.
2. Remove radio for repair.
Radio generates noise in AM
and FM modes with engine
running.1. Poor radio ground
2. Loose or missing ground bonding straps
3. Ignition condenser or rear window defogger
noise suppressor condenser
4. Alternator
5. Ignition coil or secondary wiring
6. Radio1. Check radio ground.
2. Check ground bonding straps.
3. Replace ignition condenser or rear window defogger noise
suppressor condenser.
4. Check alternator.
5. Check ignition coil and secondary wiring.
6. Remove radio for repair.
Radio generates noise in AM
and FM modes with accesso-
ries on (switch pops and motor
noise).1. Poor radio ground
2. Antenna
3. Accessory ground
4. Faulty accessory1. Check radio ground.
2. Check antenna.
3. Check accessory ground.
4. Replace accessory.
NOTE:
If the radio has anti-theft function, check the anti-theft function of the radio before circuit inspection.
(Radios which have anti-theft function are equipped with a code indicator. For details, refer to EL-173.)
Speaker inspection
1. Disconnect speaker harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+The resistance should be2-4W.
3. Using jumper wires, momentarily connect a 9V battery between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+A momentary hum or pop should be heard.
Antenna inspection
Using a jumper wire, clip an auxiliary ground between antenna and body.
+If reception improves, check antenna ground (at body surface).
+If reception does not improve, check main feeder cable for short circuit or open circuit.
Radio inspection
All voltage inspections are made with:
+Ignition switch ON or ACC
+Radio ON
+Radio connected (If removed for inspection, supply a ground to the case using a jumper wire.)

INSTALLATION
1. Lower antenna rod by operating antenna motor.
2. Insert gear section of antenna rope into place with it facing
toward antenna motor.
3. As soon as antenna rope is wound on antenna motor, stop
antenna motor. Insert antenna rod lower end into antenna
motor pipe.
4. Retract antenna rod completely by operating antenna motor.
5. Install antenna nut and base.
Window Antenna Repair
ELEMENT CHECK
1. Attach probe circuit tester (in ohm range) to antenna terminal
on each side.
2. If an element is broken, no continuity will exist.
