  1. E1 CHECK CIRCUIT 19 (LB/RD) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Disconnect: Inoperative Illumination Source.
    • Place the headlamp switch in the PARK position and rotate the headlamp switch knob fully counterclockwise without turning on the interior lamps.
    • Measure the voltage between the inoperative source connector, harness side and ground as follows:
      CONNECTOR PINS

      Location Connector (Pin) Circuit
      Video cassette player (VCP) 3077a (10) 19 (LB/RD)
      Steering wheel switches 218b (5) 19 (LB/RD)

    • Yes  : GO to E2.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
  2. E2 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between the inoperative source connector, harness side and ground as follows:
      CONNECTOR PINS

      Location Connector (Pin) Circuit
      VCP 3077a (11) 57 (BK)
      Steering wheel switches 218b (6) 57 (BK)
    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new component in question. REFER to VIDEO SYSTEM or SPEED CONTROL . TEST the system for normal operation.
