Check the continuity between the terminals of oil pressure switch
and body ground.
DIODE CHECK
lCheck continuity using an ohmmeter.
lDiode is functioning properly if test results are as shown in
the figure at left.
NOTE: Specification may vary depending on the type of
tester. Before performing this inspection, be sure to
refer to the instruction manual for the tester to be
used.
lDiodes for warning lamps are built into the combination meter
printed circuit.

Trouble Diagnoses
Symptom Possible causes Repair order
Radio inoperative (no digital
display and no sound from
speakers).1. 10A fuse
2. Poor radio case ground
3. Radio1. Check 10A fuse (No.
18, located in fuse block). Turn igni-
tion switch ON and verify battery positive voltage is present
at terminal
V10of radio.
2. Check radio case ground.
3. Remove radio for repair.
Radio controls are operational,
but no sound is heard from
any speaker.1. Radio output
2. Radio1. Check radio output voltages.
2. Remove radio for repair.
Radio presets are lost when
ignition switch is turned OFF.1. 7.5A fuse
2. Radio1. Check 7.5A fuse (No.
6, located in fuse block) and verify
battery positive voltage is present at terminal
V6of radio.
2. Remove radio for repair.
Individual speaker is noisy or
inoperative.1. Speaker
2. Radio output
3. Speaker circuit
4. Radio1. Check speaker.
2. Check radio output voltages.
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.
Radio generates static noise
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.

3. Replace ignition condenser or rear window defogger noise
suppressor condenser.
4. Check alternator.
5. Check ignition coil and secondary wiring.

pops and motor noise).1. Poor radio ground
2. Antenna
3. Accessory ground
4. Faulty accessory1. Check radio ground.
2. Check antenna.

4. Replace accessory.
SPEAKER INSPECTION
1. Disconnect speaker harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between speaker terminals
V1andV2.
lThe resistance should be2-4W.
3. Using jumper wires, momentarily connect a 9V battery between speaker terminals
V1andV2.
lA momentary hum or pop should be heard.
ANTENNA INSPECTION
Using a jumper wire, clip an auxiliary ground between antenna and body.
lIf reception improves, check antenna ground (at body surface).
lIf reception does not improve, check main feeder cable for short circuit or open circuit.
RADIO INSPECTION
All voltage inspections are made with:
lIgnition switch ON or ACC
lRadio ON
lRadio connected (If removed for inspection, supply a ground to the case using a jumper wire.)

CONSULT DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE FUNCTION
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:
lIf trip number is more than 1, MIL does not blink.
lTime data is not indicated for this model.

LOCK MODEWhen an unregistered ignition key is used, or if the starting operation is carried out
two or more times consecutively with the ignition key, IMMU or ECM
malfunctioning, NATS will shift the mode to one which prevents the engine from
being started.EL-196
