3. Check wires for open or short between radio and speaker.
4. Remove radio for repair.
Radio stations are weak or
noisy.1. Antenna
2. Poor radio ground
3. Radio1. Check antenna.
2. Check radio ground.
3. Remove radio for repair.
FM stations are weak or noisy
but AM stations are OK. (with
window antenna)1. Window antenna
2. Radio1. Check window antenna.
2. Remove radio for repair.
Radio generates noise in AM
and FM modes with engine
running.1. Poor radio ground
2. Loose or missing ground bonding straps
3. Ignition condenser or rear window defogger
noise suppressor condenser
4. Alternator
5. Ignition coil or secondary wiring
6. Radio1. Check radio ground.
2. Check ground bonding straps.
3. Replace ignition condenser or rear window defogger noise
suppressor condenser.
4. Check alternator.
5. Check ignition coil and secondary wiring.
6. Remove radio for repair.
Radio generates noise in AM
and FM modes with accesso-
ries on (switch pops and motor
noise).1. Poor radio ground
2. Antenna
3. Accessory ground
4. Faulty accessory1. Check radio ground.
2. Check antenna.
3. Check accessory ground.
4. Replace accessory.
NOTE:
If the radio has anti-theft function, check the anti-theft function of the radio before circuit inspection.
(Radios which have anti-theft function are equipped with a code indicator. For details, refer to EL-173.)
Speaker inspection
1. Disconnect speaker harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+The resistance should be2-4W.
3. Using jumper wires, momentarily connect a 9V battery between speaker terminalsj
1andj2.
+A momentary hum or pop should be heard.
Antenna inspection
Using a jumper wire, clip an auxiliary ground between antenna and body.
+If reception improves, check antenna ground (at body surface).
+If reception does not improve, check main feeder cable for short circuit or open circuit.
Radio inspection
All voltage inspections are made with:
+Ignition switch ON or ACC
+Radio ON
+Radio connected (If removed for inspection, supply a ground to the case using a jumper wire.)

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 6
(NATS release signal check)
Does engine start properly?
Ye s
cNo
Check NATS system.
CHECK NATS SIGNAL CIRCUIT.
1. Disconnect control unit connector and
NATS IMMU connector.
2. Check continuity between control unit
terminalj
9and NATS IMMU terminal
j
3(LHD models),j7(RHD models).
Continuity should exist.
3. Check continuity between control unit
terminalj
9and ground.
Continuity should not exist.
Refer to wiring diagram in EL-215
(LHD), EL-219 (RHD).

CONSULT DIAGNOSTIC TEST
MODEDescription
C/U INITIALIZATION When replacing any of the following three components, C/U initialization is necessary.
[NATS ignition key/IMMU/ECM]
SELF-FUNCTION CHECK ECM checks its own NATS communication interface by itself.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS Detected items (screen terms) are as shown in the chart below.
NOTE:
When any initialisation is performed, all ID previously registered will be erased. So all NATS ignition
keys must be registered again.
The engine cannot be started with an unregistered key. In this case, the system may show ``DIFFER-
ENCE OF KEY'' or ``LOCK MODE'' as a self-diagnostic result on the CONSULT screen.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
NOTE:
+If trip number is more than 1, MIL does not blink.
+Time data is not indicated for TB45E engine models.
