4. Measure the voltage between body ground and audio-navigation unit connector A (24P) terminals No. 14 and No. 24 individually.

Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 5.

NO - If the +B wire does not have voltage, repair open in the wire between the under-dash fuse/relay box and audio-navigation unit connector A (24P). If the ACC wire does not have voltage, repair open in the wire between the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and audio-navigation unit connector A (24P).






5. Measure the voltage between audio-navigation unit connector C (8P) terminal No. 1 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 6.

NO - Repair open or high resistance in the wire between audio-navigation unit connector C (8P) and the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Is there less than 0.1 V on all terminals?
YES - Replace the audio-navigation unit. Audio-Navigation Unit Removal/Installation (With Navigation)

NO - Repair open or high resistance in the wire between audio-navigation unit connector A (24P) terminal No. 12 or audio-navigation unit connector B (24P) terminal No. 17 and body ground (G503 and G502), or audio-navigation connector C (8P) and body ground (G503).
