INSPECTION PROCEDURE 9: Noise is Present while Moving (FM)
.
DIAGNOSIS 1. The signal becomes weak as the distance from the station's transmission
antenna increases. The signal strength received depends on the signal strength
of the transmitting station and intervening obstructions such as buildings and
hills. Generally speaking, the area of good reception is approximately 20 - 25
km (12 - 16 miles) for stereo reception, and 30 - 40 km (19 - 25 miles) for
monaural reception.

NOTE: FM waves have the same properties as light, and can be
deflected and blocked. FM signal reception is severely
degraded in the shadow of obstructions such as buildings
or mountains. An FM receiver will then only receive a
reflected signal.

7. Does vehicle have an antenna which extend? If not eliminate this step.
If there is noise, the following causes can be considered.
8. If due to vehicle noise: It may not be possible to prevent noise if the signal is
weak.
9. If due to external noise: In almost all cases, prevention on the receiver side is
not possible. Weak signals especially are susceptible to interference.
If there is more noise than on radios in other vehicles, find out the noise condition
and the name and frequency of the receiving stations from the owner, and consult
with the radio manufacturer's service center. INSPECTION PROCEDURE 10: Sound mixed with Noise, Only at Night (AM). The following can be considered as possible causes of noise appearing only at
night.
1. It is significantly easier to receive long-distance signals at night. This means
that even stations that are received without a problem during the day may
experience problems at night. Remember that the weaker station is more
susceptible to interference. The appearance of a beat sound may occur in the
evening. A beat sound is created when two signals close in frequency interfere
with each other. A common sign of this type of interference is a repetitious
high-pitched sound that may over power the desired radio station. This sound is
generated not only by sound signals but electrical waves as well.
2. The changing system may also be a source of noise. When diagnosing radio
noise, do not over look the possibility of a problem with the vehicles generator. DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the vehicles lighting system.
Q: Does the noise disappear when the vehicles headlights are turned
"OFF"?
YES: Go to Ste
p 2.

mounted
.
Q: Is the antenna in good condition and is it properly mounted?
YES: Consult the radio manufacturer's service center.
NO: Either repair or replace the antenna assembly. Check to see that the
noise is gone.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 12: Excessive Noise on AM and FM. DIAGNOSIS Radio reception can be affected by Radio Frequency (RF) emissions from a variety
of sources. The disturbance is even greater if the station is weak or poorly tuned.
FM reception is not as sensitive to disturbances as AM. AM reception is sensitive to
electrical disturbances such as power lines, lightening and other types of similar
electrical phenomena.
STEP 1. Check if the customer heard the noise under any of the following
conditions.
A motorcycle was passing. Lighting was flashing. Passed beneath a power line. Passed beneath a telephone line. Passed by a signal generator. Passed by any other sources of electrical noise. Passed under a bridge or through a tunnel.
Q: Did the noise occur during any of the circumstances listed above?
YES: The observed noise is normal.
NO: Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Compare the customers radio to another identical model.
Operate the radio in a vehicle with a known good audio system of the same
t
ype as the customer's.

Q: Do the other radio and CD player work normally?
YES: Either repair or replace the original radio and CD player. Check that
there is no noise.
NO: Either repair or replace the antenna assembly. Check that there is no
noise.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 15: Noise is Present While Moving (FM). DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the state of the antenna.
Q: Is the mast antenna assembled?
YES: Go to Step 2.
NO: Assemble the mast antenna. Check that there is no noise.
STEP 2. Check the radio after adjusting it.
Q: Readjust the radio. Is the noise eliminated?
YES: Check that there is no noise.
NO: Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Check with several broad casting. NOTE: Multipath noise and fading noise: Because of the
frequency of FM waves in extremely high, it is highly
susceptible to effects from geological formations and
buildings. These effects disrupt the broadcast signal
and obstruct reception in several ways.
Multipath noise
This describes the echo that occurs when the
broadcast signal is reflected by a large obstruction
and enters the receiver with a slight time delay
relative to the direct signal (repetitious buzzing).

Q: Is the abnormality in reception generated only within a certain range?
YES: Check that a poor reception is resolved.
NO: Go to Step 6.
STEP 6. Check the connection of the antenna plug and radio and CD
player.
Q: Is the antenna plug thoroughly connected to the radio and CD player?
YES: Go to Step 7.
NO: Thoroughly connect the antenna plug and the radio and CD player.
Check that a poor reception is resolved.
STEP 7. Check by replacing radio and CD player.
Q: Do the other radio and CD player work normally?
YES: Either repair or replace the original radio and CD player. Check that
a poor reception is resolved.
NO: Either re
pair or re
place the antenna assembl
y. Check that a

NOTE: Two types of noise are addressed in this procedure,
multipath and fading noise. The frequency of FM waves
is extremely high. This makes them susceptible to
effects from geological formations and buildings. These
effects disrupt the broadcast signal and obstruct
reception in many ways.
Multipath noise is the echo that occurs when the
broadcast signal is reflected by a large obstruction
and enters the receiver with a slight time delay
relative to the direct signal (repetitious buzzing). A fading or buzzing noise may occur when the
broadcast beam is disrupted by obstructing objects
and the signal strength fluctuates within a narrow
range.
