  Q: What is the purpose of the wire grid-type antenna attached to the rear window glass in Toyota Solara and Toyota Avalon?

  A: The vehicles covered by these instructions have a wire grid-type antenna on the rear window glass. To troubleshoot radio reception issues, check the antenna wires for continuity using an ohmmeter. Wrap small pieces of aluminum foil around the ohmmeter probes and touch them to the antenna grid wires. Place one probe on an antenna terminal and move the other probe along the wire to check for continuity until a break is found. If a break is detected, repair the wire as you would a rear window defogger wire.

  Q: How can I troubleshoot radio reception issues related to the wire grid-type antenna on the rear window glass?

  A: The vehicles feature a wire grid-type antenna attached to the rear window glass. If radio reception issues arise, assess the antenna wires by checking for continuity using an ohmmeter. Wrap aluminum foil around your ohmmeter probes' tips and touch them to the antenna grid wires. Starting with one probe at an antenna terminal, move the other along the wire to detect continuity until a break is identified. If a break is found, the wire can be fixed in the same way as a rear window defogger wire.
