REPLACEMENT
REPLACE DRYER FROM MODULATOR
(a) Using a hexagon wrench (10 mm, 0.39 in.), remove the
cap from the modulator.
(b) Remove the filter from the modulator.
(c) Using pliers, remove the dryer.
(d) Insert a new dryer into the modulator.
NOTICE:
Do not remove the dryer from a vinyl bag until insert-
ing it into the modulator.

6RadioPOOR RECEPTION
Is the condition bad in comparison with other vehicles?
Are there any additional installation parts?
(Sun shade film, telephone antenna, etc.)
Check if there is any scratch and breaking of a wire on
the glass antenna and the defogger pattern.
(visual check. tester)
(See page
BE±190)
Is the contact of the plug jack of the radio OK?
Does the condition get better by using the outer
antenna (such as pillar antenna)?
Is the contact of the antenna terminal on the glass
surface and the defogger terminal?
Is the continuity of the antenna cord OK?
Check the grounding of the antenna, antenna cord,
choke coil, and noise filter. (See page BE±190)
Does the condition get better by replacing
the choke coil?
Does the condition get better by replacing the
antenna cord?Take a measure for contact. An electric wave environment is bad.
Does the condition get better if
removing them?
Influence of additional installation parts.
Repair. (See page BE±108)
Check the radio.
Take a measure for contact.
Grounding failure. Replace the antenna cord.
Replace the choke coil.

26 Noise NOISE OCCURS
No
Ye s
NG
OK Does the noise occur only in the radio?
Does the noise occur in a particular place?
Is there any additional installation part
around the glass imprinted antenna?
(Sun shade film, telephone antenna etc.)
Does the noise occur even pulling out the
antenna cord from the radio?
Does the noise occur even after pulling out the
antenna terminal on the glass surface?
Isn't there any adhesive (Butyl rubber)
stuck on the bases of the antenna
terminal, defogger terminal and bus bar?
Check the grounding of the antenna,
antenna cord, coke coil, and noise filter.
(See page BE±190) Does the noise occur even after pulling out
the defogger terminal?
Does the condition get better by replacing
the antenna cord.
Noise rediates directly to the antenna from the
generation source. Does the condition get better by replacing
the choke coil?
Replace the antenna cord. Replace the choke coil. Interfering noise from the defogger line
and choke coil.
Grounding failure. Failure of glass installation.
Must plane the butyl rubber. Noise mixing into the antenna cable. Check the radio. Influence of the film or the noise radiation
of the additional installation part. Does the noise stop by removing it? An electric environment.Refer to No.27. (It occurs in the cassette and CD.)
