YES - Go to step 11.

NO - Audio unit is faulty, replace the audio unit.

11. Disconnect stereo amplifier connector B (18P).
12. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




13. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector B (18P) No. 18 terminal and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 14.

NO - Repair open in the wire between No. 8 (30 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and stereo amplifier connector B (18P) No. 18 terminal.

14. Disconnect stereo amplifier connector A (28P).




15. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector A (28P) No. 3 terminal and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 16.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the stereo amplifier connector A (28P) No. 3 terminal and audio unit connector B (32P) No. 23 terminal.

16. Reconnect the stereo amplifier connector B (18P).




17. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector B (18P) No. 9 terminal and body ground.

Less than 0.1 V?

YES - Go to step 18.

NO - Repair open to the body ground in the wire between the stereo amplifier connector B (18P) No. 9 terminal and body ground (G504).

18. Disconnect stereo amplifier connector B (18P) and speaker connector.




19. Check for continuity between body ground and stereo amplifier connector B (18P) according to the table.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wire(s) between the stereo amplifier and the speaker(s).

NO - Go to step 20.




20. Measure the resistance between stereo amplifier connector B (18P) according to the table.

Is the resistance the same as indicated?

YES - Go to step 21.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the stereo amplifier and the speaker(s).

21. Disconnect audio unit connector B (32P).




22. Check for continuity between the following terminals of the stereo amplifier connector A (28P) and audio unit connector A (32P).

Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 23.
