but no sound is heard from
any speaker.1. Radio output
2. Radio1. Check radio output voltages.
2. Remove radio for repair.

and FM modes with engine
running.1. Poor radio ground
2. Loose or missing ground bonding straps
3. Ignition condenser or rear window defogger

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.

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.)
