- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H6-10 (USBV) - H11-15 (USBV) Always Below 1 Ω H6-11 (USBG) - H11-31 (USBG) Always Below 1 Ω H6-10 (USBV) or H11-15 (USBV) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher H6-11 (USBG) or H11-31 (USBG) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 4
- INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the H6 radio receiver assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a Component without harness connected
(Radio Receiver Assembly)Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H6-11 (USBG) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω - Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H6-10 (USBV) - H6-11 (USBG) Ignition switch ACC 4.75 to 5.25 V Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [12/2019 - 10/2022]
Result:
OK
See step 5
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) - NAVIGATION ECU)
- Disconnect the c2 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
- Disconnect the c4 navigation ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition c2-2 (USB+) - c4-1 (USB+) Always Below 1 Ω c2-1 (USB-) - c4-2 (USB-) Always Below 1 Ω c2-3 (USBS) - c4-3 (USBS) Always Below 1 Ω c2-2 (USB+) or c4-1 (USB+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher c2-1 (USB-) or c4-2 (USB-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher c2-3 (USBS) or c4-3 (USBS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher *a Front view of wire harness connector
