Inspection Procedure 2: No Sound is Heard. <Vehicles with audio amplifier>



caution Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the communication circuit are normal.
















COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM


If the audio sound is not output, the radio and CD player or CD changer, audio amplifier, or power supply circuit of audio amplifier may have a problem, or the option coding information may be inconsistent.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Connector check: E-37 audio amplifier connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Resistance measurement at E-37 audio amplifier connector


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Check the continuity between E-37 audio amplifier connector terminal No.24 and the body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)
(3)Check the continuity between E-37 audio amplifier connector terminal No.31 and the body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)
(4)Check the continuity between E-37 audio amplifier connector terminal No.32 and the body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the harness wire between E-37 audio amplifier connector terminal No.24, 31, 32 and the body earth



  • Check the earth wires for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Voltage measurement at E-37 audio amplifier connector


(1)Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness-side connector.
(2)Measure the voltage between E-37 audio amplifier connector terminal No.25 and the body earth
OK: Battery voltage
(3)Measure the voltage between E-37 audio amplifier connector terminal No.35 and the body earth
OK: Battery voltage
(4)Measure the voltage between E-37 audio amplifier connector terminal No.36 and the body earth
OK: Battery voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check the harness wire between E-37 audio amplifier connector terminal No.25, 35, 36 and fusible link (29).



  • Check the power supply line for open circuit and short circuit.
note Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check intermediate connectors D-236 and D-238, and repair if necessary.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. Connector check: D-211 radio and CD player or CD changer connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 7. Check the harness wire between D-211 radio and CD player or CD changer connector terminal No.7, 16 and E-37 audio amplifier connector No.34, 33



  • Check the communication lines for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 8.
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 8. Connector check: E-38 audio amplifier connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 9. Check the harness wire between D-211 radio and CD player or CD changer connector terminal No.17 and E-38 audio amplifier connector No.3



  • Check the communication lines for open circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 10.
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 10. Retest the system


Replace the audio amplifier, then check that the audio sound is output.

Q. Is the check result normal?

The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Replace the radio and CD player or CD changer.
