INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: No Sound. < Vehicles with Audio Amplifier >: Diagnosis
Required Special Tool:
- MB991223: Harness set
- STEP 1. Measure the voltage at audio amplifier connector C-11 in order to check the battery circuit of power supply system to the audio amplifier.
- Disconnect audio amplifier connector C-11, and measure at the wiring harness side.
- Measure the voltage between terminal 6 and ground.
- The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).
- Measure the voltage between terminal 16 and ground.
- The voltage should measure approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).
Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage)?
- YES : Go to Step 4.
- NO : Go to Step 2.
- STEP 2. Check audio amplifier connector C-11 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is audio amplifier connector C-11 in good condition?
- YES : Go to Step 3.
- NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . The speakers should sound.
- STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between audio amplifier connector C-11 (terminal 6 and 16) and the battery.

NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-31 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connectors C-31 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION .Q: Is the wiring harness between audio amplifier connector C-11 (terminal 6 and 16) and the battery in good condition?
- YES : There is no action to be taken.
- NO : Repair the wiring harness. The speakers should sound.
- STEP 4. Measure the resistance at audio amplifier connector C-11 in order to check the ground circuit to the audio amplifier.
- Disconnect audio amplifier connector C-11, and measure at the wiring harness side.
- Measure the resistance between terminal 7 and ground.
- The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.
- Measure the resistance between terminal 17 and ground.
- The resistance should be 2 ohms or less.
Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?
- YES : Go to Step 7.
- NO : Go to Step 5.
- STEP 5. Check audio amplifier connector C-11 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is audio amplifier connector C-11 in good condition?
- YES : Go to Step 6.
- NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . The speakers should sound.
- STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between audio amplifier connector C-11 (terminal 7 and 17) and ground.

Q: Is the wiring harness between audio amplifier connector C-11 (terminal 7 and 17) and ground in good condition?
- YES : There is no action to be taken.
- NO : Repair the wiring harness. The speakers should sound.
- STEP 7. Check radio, CD player and CD changer connector C-113 and audio amplifier connector C-12 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Are radio, CD player and CD changer connector C-113 and audio amplifier connector C-12 in good condition?
- YES : Go to Step 8.
- NO : Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECTION . The door speaker (LH) should sound.
- STEP 8. Check the wiring harness between CD player and CD changer connector C-113 (terminals 31, 32, 33, 34, 40 and 41) and audio amplifier connector G-19 (terminals 22, 23, 24, 30 and 31).
