Causes
- Open or short in antenna power or ground wiring
- Corroded or loose antenna connector
- Failed antenna mast/motor (retractable antennas)
- Failed antenna amplifier or antenna control module
- Blown fuse or faulty relay supplying antenna
- Damaged coaxial cable between antenna and radio
Symptoms
- No or poor AM/FM reception
- Antenna does not extend or retract (if motorized)
- Audio unit displays antenna-related warning or error
- Intermittent reception or complete loss on one band
- Possible reduced performance of connected systems (e.g., GPS/telemetry) if combined antenna
What to check
- Use a scan tool to read freeze frame and confirm B2352 and any related codes
- Operate the radio/antenna (extend/retract) and observe behavior
- Visually inspect antenna mast, base, and connector for corrosion or damage
- Check fuses and relays for the radio/antenna circuit
- Inspect coaxial cable and connector to head unit for damage or water ingress
- Check for proper power (12 V) at the antenna power feed with ignition ACC/ON or when antenna activated
Signal parameters
- Antenna power supply voltage: ~12 V when antenna is commanded (ACC/ON or drive signal active)
- Ground continuity: near 0 ohms from antenna ground to chassis
- Antenna motor resistance: low (motor coil resistance) when measured at the antenna motor terminals
- Activation current draw: increased current when antenna motor runs (used to detect seized motor)
- Coax continuity and shielding: low loss continuity between antenna coax center conductor and radio input
- Communication bus status (if antenna amplifier uses LIN/CAN): verify presence of messages when radio is active
Diagnostic algorithm
- Record freeze frame and all stored codes with a scan tool. Note conditions when code set.
- Attempt to reproduce the fault (operate radio/antenna). Observe whether antenna extends/retracts and whether reception is present.
- Perform a visual inspection of the antenna mast, base, coax connector, and wiring for damage, corrosion, or water intrusion.
- Check relevant fuses and relays. Replace any blown fuses and retest.
- With connector connected, verify power and ground at the antenna harness while commanding the antenna. If no power, trace back to fuse/relay/radio output.
- Measure continuity between antenna and radio input for coax center conductor and shield. Repair or replace coax if open or shorted.
- If equipped with an antenna motor, measure resistance of the motor and apply 12 V briefly (bench test or direct) to see if motor runs. If motor is seized or draws excessive current, replace antenna assembly.
- If antenna has an inline amplifier, verify amplifier supply and signal; if amplifier is not responding or shows abnormal voltages, consider replacing amplifier or antenna assembly.
- Inspect connectors for corrosion; clean and apply dielectric grease after repair to prevent recurrence.
- If wiring and antenna check OK, verify radio/head unit outputs and communication lines. Replace or reprogram radio/control module only after confirming wiring and antenna component condition.
- Clear codes, cycle ignition, and retest operation. Road test and re-scan to confirm repair.
Likely causes
- Physical damage or corrosion at antenna connector or mast
- Loss of power or ground to the antenna motor/amplifier
- Antenna amplifier internal failure
- Faulty wiring (pinch, chafe, rodent damage) along harness to antenna
- Faulty radio/head unit not driving the antenna
- Intermittent connection causing intermittent fault code
Fault status
Status
Antenna circuit fault detected. Diagnostic code stored when the antenna control detects loss of communication, open/short, or abnormal behavior in the antenna motor or amplifier. May result in loss of radio reception or failure of antenna extension/retraction.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.0 hours
