Component Testing: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Spark. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Caution .

NOTE:

Before testing the coax cable, check the cable exterior for being pinched, cut, damaged or having loose connections at the components, which can cause reception issues.
To prevent false reading when testing the center coax terminals, use care not to ground the test probe on the outer housing/shield.
The vehicle may be equipped with sectioned coax. Test each section and replace only the faulty section, not the entire length of coax.
