Antenna: Testing and Inspection

2007 Subaru Forester F4-2.5L DOHC TurboSECTION Testing and Inspection
INSPECTION







Measure the resistance between antenna terminal and each antenna wire.

If an antenna wire is OK, resistance will be less than 1 Ohm. If an antenna wire is broken, the resistance will be more than 1 M Ohm.

NOTE: When checking the continuity, wind a piece of tin foil around the tip of tester probe and press foil against wire with your finger.

To locate the broken point, move the probe along antenna wire.
