DTC B27A2: Open in Front Passenger Side Electrical Antenna Circuit (From 8/2009): Procedure
- CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION
- Turn the power switch off.
- Check that the connectors are properly connected to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and the front door outside handle assembly (for front passenger side).
OK
Connectors are properly connected.
NG → CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE)
- Disconnect the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
- Disconnect the front door outside handle assembly (for front passenger side) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition F58-5 (CLG2) - M1-6 (ANT1) Always Below 1 Ω F58-6 (CG2B) - M1-3 (ANT2) Always Below 1 Ω F58-5 (CLG2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher F58-6 (CG2B) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher M1-6 (ANT1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher M1-3 (ANT2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
