WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac Torrent and 2008 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the coax cable from the radio and the 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 ohms of resistance on the antenna coax center terminal from end to end.
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the antenna coax.
  4. Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance on the antenna coax outer shield from end to end.
    • 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.
