In diagnosing a power antenna system, which statement is correct?

• A. A broken plastic cable in the antenna housing requires replacement of the power antenna assembly.
• B. A power antenna motor that shows no continuity must be replaced.
• C. Both A and B are correct.
• D. Neither A nor B is correct.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is diagnosing the power antenna by testing the motor’s electrical path. If the motor shows no continuity, its windings are open and the motor cannot function, so the motor itself is faulty and needs to be replaced. A broken plastic drive cable is a mechanical issue that can occur independently of the motor’s electrical condition, and in some designs parts other than the whole assembly can be addressed. Because the decisive fault here is an open motor winding, replacing the motor is the correct course of action.
