A-9 Ever-present noise.
Noise is often created by the following factors, and
often the radio is OK when it is checked individually.

Travelling conditions of the vehicle

Terrain of area travelled through

Surrounding buildings

Signal conditions

Time periodFor this reason, if there are still problems with noise
even after the measures described in steps A-1
to A-8 have been taken, get information on the
factors listed above as well as determining whether
the problem occurs with AM or FM, the station
names, frequencies, etc., and contact a service
centre.

Remedy the malfunctions indicated by th
diagnosis codes, disconnect the diagnosis code
check harness, and then install the valve relay.
Then turn the ignition switch to ON again t
check the ABS warning lamp. (Refer to P.35-36-
16.) If the lamp indicates a malfunction, th
valve relay system may be detective. (Refer to
P.35-36-14.)
ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODES
With the MUT-II
Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector (16-
pin), and then erase the diagnosis codes.
Without the MUT-II
Remove the battery cable from the battery (-)
terminal for 10 seconds or more, and the
reconnect the cable.
