INPUT SIGNAL
When using the scan tool (MUT) or voltmeter
Using the scan tool or voltmeter, check whether or not the
input signals from each switch are being input to the ETACS
unit.
(1) Connect the scan tool to the data link connector located
at the right side of the junction block or connect the voltme-
ter between the ETACS terminal and the ground terminal.
(2) Check if the buzzer of the scan tool sounds or the needleof the voltmeter moves when each switch is operated.
If the buzzer sounds or the needle moves, the input signalsare being input to the ETACS unit, so that switch can
be considered to be functioning normally. If not, the switch
or switch input circuit is faulty. Check the switch and the
switch input circuit.

When using the scan tool (MUT-II)
(1) Connect the scan tool to the data link connector. When
connecting the scan tool to a vehicle up to 1993 models,
use the adapter harness supplied together.
Caution
Turn off the ignition switch beforehand whenever thescan tool is connected or disconnected.
(2) If the scan tool makes a peep sound when each switchis operation (turned ON/OFF), the input signal to ECU
is normally sent from the switch circuit system.
When using the voltmeter
(1)Connect a voltmeter to the ETACS terminal and the ground
terminal of the data link connector using the special tool.
(2) If the voltmeter pointer deflects once when each switchis operated (turned ON/OFF), the input signal to ECU
is normally sent from the switch circuit system.

Broadcasts can be heard but both AM and FM have a lot of noise.
(1)Noise occurs when the engine is stopped.
YesJ
(2)Noise occurs when the engine in running.
Do the following measures eliminate the noise?
@ Tune to a station with a strong signal.
l Extend the antenna completely. (Whip antenna)
l Adjust the sound quality to suppress high tones.
NoIs the radio body ground mounted securely?
Yes
Securely tighten the nuts for the bodyground.
Yes
YesClean the antenna plug and ground
wire mounting area. Mount the anten-
na securely. On a vehicle with a motor
antenna, check the antenna itself. (Re-fer to E-1, 2.)
If there is more noise than other radios, consult a servicecenter
NOTE
About noise encountered during FM reception only.
Due to differences in FM and AM systems, FM is
noise interference (first fading and multipath). (Refer

About multipath noise and fading noise
Because the frequency of FM waves is extreme-
ly high, it is highly susceptible to effects from
geological formations and buildings. These ef-
fects disrupt the broadcast signal and obstruct
‘reception in several ways.l Multipath noise
This describes the echo that occurs when the
broadcast signal is reflected by a large obstruc-
tion and enters the receiver with a slight time
delay relative to the direct signal (repetitious
buzzing).l Fading noise
This is a buzzing noise that occurs when the
broadcast beam is disrupted by obstructing ob-
jects and the signal strength fluctuates intricately
within a narrow range.

IA-9Ever-present noise.I
Noise is often created by the following factors, and
often the radio is OK when it is checked individually.l Traveling conditions of the vehicle
l Terrain of area traveled through
l Surrounding buildings
l Signal conditions
l Time periodFor this reason, if there are still problems with noiseeven after the measures described in steps A-l
to A-8 have been taken, get information on the fac-
tors listed above as well as determining whetherthe problem occurs with AM or FM, the station
names, frequencies, etc., and contact a service cen-
