Antenna Pole Replacement
ANTENNA POLE REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the ring nut.
2. After setting the ignition switch to "ACC" or "ON," turn the radio switch ON. Extend the antenna pole and remove it together with the rack cable.
3. Pull the antenna out to the farthest end.
NOTE: If the motor end side of the rack cable is bent straighten it out.
4. Face the teeth side of the rack cable toward the engine compartment, and feed the rack cable into the motor assembly.
5. Turn the teeth side of the rack cable toward the front of the vehicle (90 degree angle to the right), and engage the rack cable with the motor gears.
6. Pull lightly on the rack cable. If there is no resistance and it comes out, it is not engaged with the motor gears. Check that the end of the rack gear is not bent again, and then repeat steps (3) and (4) above again.
7. Set up the antenna pole vertically, and turn the radio OFF to wind in the rack cable. The antenna pole will be pulled into the motor antenna as the rack cable is wound in.
8. After tightening the ring nut, turn the radio ON and OFF and check the operation of the antenna pole.
