No Sound Is Heard From the Speaker(s) (Display Is Normal) (Without Navigation)

No sound is heard from speaker(s) (display is normal) (without navigation)

NOTE:
- Set the fader and balance positions to the center.
- Before doing troubleshooting, do the power switch will not turn ON troubleshooting.
- Always check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.

1. Check that the volume button is not set to the min level.

Is it at the MIN level?

YES - Raise the volume level, and recheck the function.

NO - Go to step 2.

2. Do the speaker check mode with the self-diagnostic function.

Did all speakers produce a tone?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Go to step 3.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Check the faulty speaker(s) for damage.

Is there any damage?

YES - Replace the speaker and recheck.

NO - Go to step 5.

5. Remove the speaker(s) that has no sound, and disconnect its connector.
6. Check the speaker connector for a loose or poor connection.

Reconnect the speaker connector, and recheck the symptom; is the condition still present?

YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Intermittent failure. Operation is normal.

7. Test the speaker(s).

Is the speaker OK?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Replace the speaker(s).

8. Do the audio unit self-diagnostic function DSP unit communication check.

Is the DSP communication OK?

YES - Go to step 9.

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

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




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

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 12.

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

12. Disconnect stereo amplifier connector A (20P).




13. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector A (20P) No. 1 terminal and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 14.

NO - Repair open in the between the stereo amplifier connector A (20P) No. 1 terminal and audio unit connector B (32P) No. 23 terminal.

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




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

Is there less than 0.1 V?

YES - Go to step 16.

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




16. Check for continuity between audio unit connector B (32P) and stereo amplifier connector A (20P) according to the table.

Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 17.

NO - Repair open in the appropriate wire(s) between the audio unit and stereo amplifier.

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




18. 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 19.




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

Is the resistance the same as indicated?

YES - Go to step 20.

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




20. Check for continuity between stereo amplifier connector A (20P) and body ground according to the table.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire(s) between the audio unit and stereo amplifier.

NO - Go to step 21.




21. Check for continuity between the terminals of stereo amplifier connector A (20P) according to the table.

Is there continuity between any of the terminals?

YES - Repair short in the wire(s) between audio unit and stereo amplifier (replace appropriate shield harness).

NO - Substitute a known-good audio unit and recheck. If the symptom/indicated goes away, replace the original audio unit. If the symptom is still present, substitute a known-good stereo amplifier and recheck. If the symptom indicated goes away, replace the original stereo amplifier.
