Circuit/System Description
The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of the vehicle.
The radio antenna is enabled when the radio is turned on. The radio
provides battery voltage to the antenna using the center conductor
of the antenna coaxial cable. When a 12 V signal is seen on the
center conductor of the antenna coax, both AM and FM signals are
amplified.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• |
Battery voltage must be
between 9-16 V. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B125A 02
The radio detects a short to ground in the antenna signal circuit
center conductor.
B125A 04
The radio detects an open in the antenna signal circuit center
conductor.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
Radio reception may be poor or not available.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• |
The condition responsible for
setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• |
A history DTC will clears
after 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have
occurred. |

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, A11 Radio ON, tune to a strong AM or FM station.
Verify that the AM or FM reception is clear.
Circuit/System Testing
1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the
radio antenna coax from the A11 Radio and from the radio
antenna. |
2. |
Test for infinite resistance
between the antenna coax center terminal and ground. |
⇒ |
If less than the specified value, replace the
antenna coax. |
3. |
Test for less than 5 Ω
on the antenna coax center circuit from end to end. |
⇒ |
If greater than the specified range, replace the
antenna coax. |
4. |
Ignition ON, test for less
than 1 V between the antenna coax center terminal and
ground. |
⇒ |
If greater than the specified range, replace the
antenna coax. |
5. |
Test for infinite resistance
between the coax center terminal and the outer shield. |
⇒ |
If less than the specified value, replace the
antenna coax. |
6. |
Connect the antenna coax to
the A11 Radio. Test for 12-15 V between the antenna coax center
terminal and ground at the radio antenna connector. |
⇒ |
If not within the specified range, replace the A11
Radio. |
7. |
If all circuits test normal,
replace the radio antenna. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the
Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic
procedure.
