    Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?

    Yes: Go to 9  .

    No:  Repair or replace the open circuit of harness.

  9. CHECK HARNESS (GROUND SHORT CIRCUIT)  .

    Using a tester, measure the resistance between the exterior rear antenna connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    1. (D45) No. 1 - Chassis ground:
    2. (D45) No. 3 - Chassis ground:

    Is the resistance 10 MΩ or more?

    Yes:  Go to  11.

    No:  Repair or replace the short circuit of the harness.

  10. CHECK OUTSIDE REAR ANTENNA  .

    Replace the outside rear antenna with new or properly working parts. Ref. to SECURITY AND LOCKS>KEYLESS ACCESS OUTDOOR ANTENNA>REMOVAL .
