Are the fuses OK?

YES -

Go to step 9.

NO -

Replace the fuse(s), and recheck.�

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





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 10.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the No. 15 (20A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box and stereo amplifier connector B (18P) terminal No. 18.�

10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

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





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 12.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the stereo amplifier and the audio unit. If the wire and the pin fits are OK, substitute a known-good audio unit Audio Unit Removal/Installation, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original audio unit Audio Unit Removal/Installation.�

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





Is there less than 0.2 V?

YES -

Go to step 13.

NO -

Repair an open or high resistance in the wire between the stereo amplifier connector A (18P) terminal No. 9 and body ground (G501) Harness Locations.�

13. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

Go to step 17.

NO -

Intermittent failure. Operation is normal.�

17. Test the speaker(s) Speaker Test/Replacement.

Is the speaker OK?

YES -

Go to step 18.

NO -

Replace the speaker(s) Speaker Test/Replacement.�

18. Reconnect the speaker connector(s).

19. Disconnect stereo amplifier connector A (18P).

20. Check for continuity between body ground and stereo amplifier connector A (18P) terminals according to the table.









Is there continuity?

YES -

Repair a short to body ground in the wire(s) between the stereo amplifier and the speaker(s).�

NO -

Go to step 21.

21. Disconnect the left tweeter 2P connector and the right tweeter 2P connector.

22. Measure the resistance between each pair of speaker terminals at stereo amplifier connector A (18P) according to the table.









Is the resistance OK?

YES -

Go to step 23.

NO -

Repair an open or a short in the wire between the stereo amplifier and the speaker.�

23. Connect stereo amplifier connector A (18P) terminals with jumper wires as shown.






24. Check for continuity between the tweeter 2P connector according to the table.









Is there continuity?

YES -

Go to step 25.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the stereo amplifier and the tweeter.�

25. Disconnect the jumper wires.

26. Disconnect these items:

- Audio unit connector A (24P)
- Audio unit connector B (24P)
- Stereo amplifier connector B (20P)

NOTE: Eject all the CDs before disconnecting the audio unit to prevent damaging the CD player's load mechanism.

27. Check for continuity between audio unit connector A (24P), connector B (14P), and stereo amplifier connector B (28P) terminals according to the table.

















Is there continuity?

YES -

Go to step 28.

NO -
