19. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

20. Reconnect stereo amplifier connector A (24P).

21. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

22. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector A (24P) terminal No. 1 and body ground, and between connector B (18P) terminal No. 9 and body ground.

Is there less than 0.1 V?
YES - Go to step 23.

NO - Repair short to body ground in the wire between stereo amplifier connector A (24P) terminal No 1, connector B (18P) terminal No. 9 and body ground (G401, G402).










23. Disconnect audio unit connector A (24P), stereo amplifier connector A (24P), and audio unit connector D (8P).
NOTE: Eject all the CDs before disconnecting the audio unit and CD changer to prevent damaging the CD player's load mechanism.

24. Check for continuity between audio unit connector A (24P), connector D (8P) and stereo amplifier connector A (24P) according to the table.





Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 25.

NO - Repair open in the applicable wire(s) between the audio unit and stereo amplifier (replace the affected shielded harness).

Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire(s) between the audio unit and stereo amplifier (replace the affected shielded harness).

NO - Go to step 26.






26. Check for continuity between the terminals of stereo amplifier connector A (24P) according to the table.





Is there continuity between any of the terminals?
YES - Repair short in the wire(s) between the audio unit and stereo amplifier (replace the affected shielded harness).

NO - Substitute a known-good audio unit with navigation, Audio Unit Removal/Installation (With Navigation) without navigation, Audio Unit Removal/Installation (Without Navigation) and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original audio unit with navigation, Audio Unit Removal/Installation (With Navigation) without navigation. Audio Unit Removal/Installation (Without Navigation) If the symptom is still present, substitute a known-good stereo amplifier, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original stereo amplifier. Service and Repair
