A-6There is noise when starting the engine.
Noise type
Sounds are in pa-
rentheses ( ).
AM, FM:
Ignition noise
(Popping, Snap-
ping,Cracking,
Buzzing)

Repair or replace electricalcomponents.
Return parts or wiring to
their proper position.
Caution
1.Connecting a high tension cable to the noise
filter may destroy the noise filter and shouldnever be done.
2.Check that there is no external noise. Since
failure to do this may result in misdiagnosis
due to inability to identify the noise source,
this operation must be performed.3. Noise prevention should be performed by
suppressing strong sources of noise step
by step.
NOTE
1. Condenser
The condenser does not pass D.C. current, butas the number of waves increases when it
passes A.C. current, impedance (resistanceagainst A.C.) decreases, and current flow is
facilitated. A noise suppressing condenser
which takes advantage of this property is in-
serted between the power line for the noise
source and the ground. This suppresses noiseby grounding the noise component (A.C. or
pulse signal) to the body of the vehicle.
2. Coil
The coil passes D.C. current, but impedance
rises as the number of waves increases relativeto the A.C. current. A noise suppressing coil
which takes advantage of this property is in-
serted into the power line for the noise source,
and works by preventing the noise componentfrom flowing or radiating out of the line.

Cases where the problem
is not eliminated by a single
response to one area are
common, due to several
bodypartsbeing
imperfectly grounded.

Yes
No*Static electricity noise:Sody static electric from the shock absorberrubber bushings used to prevent vibration, tires,etc. occurs because of separation from the
ground, causing a buzzing noise.

Is the antenna correctly grounded? (If noise appears when the antennais moved, this means the ground is not securely connected.)
Yes
If rust is present on the antenna ground screw,clean and tighten the ground securely.

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.

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 needle
of 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 operated (turned ON/OFF), the input signal to ECU
is normally sent from the switch circuit system. 1994 models>
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.

NOTEIf the

been installed incorrectly or switches themselves are defective the ECU may not accept the warning or alarmcancelling signal. In such case, the alarm operation will take place when the door is opened using a key.
[When the door key cylinder switch has been shorted, however, if the ignition switch is turned ON, the ECU
judges the detection-switch as faulty and thereafter, it will prevent setting of (warning) alarm until the shorting
is corrected.]
If the
liftgate is opened using a key and is left opened when the door key cylinder switch system has a trouble
(wiring harness damage, open circuit, etc.), the ECU judges it as the
liftgate holding mode and does not producealarm even when the door is opened.
