(2) Multipath
One type of interference caused by the bounce of
radio waves off of obstructions is called ”multipath”.
Multipath occurs when a signal from the broadcast
transmitter antenna bounces off buildings and
mountains and interferes with the signal that is re-
ceived directly.
(3) Fade Out Because FM radio waves are of higher frequencies
than AM radio waves, they bounce off buildings,
mountains, and other obstructions. For this reason,
FM signals often seem to gradually disappear or
fade away as the vehicle goes behind a building or
other obstruction. This is called ”fade out”.
4. COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Compact Disc (hereafter called ”CD”) Players use a laser beam
pick−up to read the digital signals recorded on the CD and re-
produce analog signals of the music, etc. There are 4.7 in. (12
cm) and 3.2 in. (8 cm) discs in the CD player.
HINT:
Never attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player unit.
Do not insert any object other than a disc into the magazine.
NOTICE:
CD players use an invisible laser beam which could cause
hazardous radiation exposure. Be sure to operate the play-
er correctly as instructed.
5. Tape Player/Head Cleaning: MAINTENANCE
(a) Raise the cassette door with your finger.
Next, using a pencil or similar object, push in the guide.
(b) Using a clean ing pen or cotton applicator soaked in clean-
er, clean the head surface, pinch rollers and capstans.

CHARGING CHARGING SYSTEM
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
If the light does not operate as specified, troubleshoot the dis-
charge warning light circuit.
6. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
HINT:
If a battery/generator tester is available, connect the tester to
the charging circuit as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
(a) If a tester is not available, connect a voltmeter and amme-
ter to the charging circuit as follows:
Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the generator
and connect it to the negative ( −) lead of the amme-
ter.
Connect the positive (+) lead of the ammeter to ter-
minal B of the generator.
Connect the positive (+) lead of the voltmeter to ter-
minal B of the generator.
Ground the negative ( −) lead of the voltmeter.
(b) Check the charging circuit as follows:
With the engine running from idle to 2,000 rpm, check the
reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage 10 A or less
Standard voltage:
at 25° C ’(77°F)14.0 − 15.0 V
at 115°C ’(239° F)13.5 − 14.3 V
If the voltmeter reading is more than standard voltage, replace
the voltage regulator.
If the voltmeter reading is less than the standard voltage, check
the voltage regulator and generator as follows:
With terminal F grounded, start the engine and
check the voltmeter reading of terminal B.
If the voltmeter reading is more than standard volt-
age, replace the voltage regulator.
If the voltmeter reading is less than standard volt-
age, check the generator.
7. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn on the high
beam headlights and place the heater blower switch at
”HI”.
