Probable cause
The defective internal resistance of the thermo sensor or thermometer may be present.
Malfunction of outside thermo sensor

Malfunction of harness or connector

Malfunction of thermometer
OK
Check trouble symptom.NGCheck the harness between outside
thermo sensor and multi-meter. Repair
if necessary.
OK
Replace the thermometer.

Connect the connector and measure
voltage of the sensor at the following
temperature.

Voltage between terminals (5) ± (13)
OK:3.42 V (when display tempera-
ture is 0C)

RADIO AND TAPE PLAYER WITH ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM54400430032

After the power supply to the radio and tape
player has been interrupted for an hour or more,
the anti-theft system will prevent the radio and
tape player from working, even if the powersupply is restored. Problem with the anti-theft
system can be found using the flow chart below.
When the ignition key is in the ACC or ON position and the POWER
button is pressed, does ªCODEº appear on the display?NoCheck and repair the connector or harness.

No
If the security code is not accepted, ª3 ERRORº is displayed for
five seconds and then changes into ªOFFº. Then the security code
can not be input any more. To input the security code again, turn
the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position and wait for one
hour when ªOFFº is displayed. After ªOFFº disappears on the display
and changes into ªcodeº, the security code can be input again.
