Component Testing
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 readings when testing the center coax terminals, use care not to ground the test probe on the outer housing/shield.
Coax Cable Test
- Locate the appropriate pinout adapter and load test loop adapter from EL-52552 COAX FAKRA Cable Adaptor Kit.
- Connect the 2 adapters together, measure and record the resistance between the terminals at the pinout adapter.
- Disconnect the 2 adapters and connect each one to the appropriate end of the coax cable.
- At the pinout adapter test terminals, measure the total resistance of the coax cable loop including the connected load test adapter.
- If not within 5 Ω of the reading from step 2.
Replace the coax cable
- Go to next step: If within 5 Ω of the reading from step 2.
- If not within 5 Ω of the reading from step 2.
- All OK.
