INSPECTION
1. INSPECT FUEL LID OPENER SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Check that continuity exists between terminals with the
switch ON (Lever pulled).
(b) Check that no continuity exists between terminals with the
switch OFF (Lever free).
If continuity is not as specified, replace the switch assembly.
2. INSPECT FUEL LID OPENER SWITCH CIRCUIT
Disconnect the connector from the switch and inspect the con-
nector on the wire harness side, as shown.

If circuit is not as specified, inspect the circuits connected to oth-
er parts.
3. INSPECT FUEL LID OPENER SOLENOID OPERATION

DESCRIPTION
1. OUTLINE OF AVC±LAN
(a) What is AVC±LAN?
AVC±LAN is the abbreviation, which stands for Audio Visual Communication±Local Area Network.
This is a unified standard co±developed by 6 audio manufactures associated with Toyota Motor Corpo-
ration.
The Unified standard covers signals, such as audio signal, visual signal, signal for switch indication
and communication signal.
(b) Objectives
Recently the car audio system has been rapidly developed and functions have been changed drasti-
cally. The conventional system has been switched to the multi±media type such as a navigation sys-
tem. At the same time the level of customers needs to audio system has been upgraded. This lies be-
hind this standardization.
The concrete objectives are explained below.
(1) When products by different manufactures were combined together, there used to be a case that
malfunction occurred such as sound did not come out. This problem has been resolved by stan-
dardization of signals.
(2) Various types of after market products have been able to add or replace freely.
(3) Because of the above (2), each manufacture has become able to concentrate on developing
products in their strongest field. This has enabled many types of products provided inexpensive-
ly.
(4) Conventionally, a new product developed by a manufacture could not be used due to a lack of
compatibility with other manufactures products. Because of this new standard, users can enjoy
compatible products provided for them timely.
The above descriptions are the objectives to introduce AVC±LAN. By this standardization, development of
new products will no longer cause systematic errors. Thus, this is very effective standard for a product in the
future.
HINT:
When +B short or GND short is detected in AVC±LAN circuit, communication stops. Accordingly the
audio system does not function normally.
When audio system is not equipped with a navigation system, audio head unit is the master unit. (When
audio system is equipped with a navigation system, navigation ECU is the master unit.)
The car audio system using AVC±LAN circuit has a diagnosis function.
Each product has its own specified numbers called physical address. Numbers are also allotted to
each function in one product, which are called logical address.

2. DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION (PIONEER made)
Error codes over tuner and connected equipment are displayed on the screen of tuner.
(a) Diagnosis start±up
For shifting to diagnosis mode, push ºCDº switch 3 times with pressing º1º and º6º of PRESET switch
at the same time while the audio power is OFF and ACC is ON.
To exit from diagnosis mode, press ºCDº switch for 2 seconds or turn the ignition key OFF.
(When º1±190º is displayed, the mode is transferred to LAN check mode.)
(b) LAN check
When starting up the diagnosis mode, the mode turns to LAN check mode, the screen displays the
code numbers (physical address) of tuner and connected equipment. Smaller codes are displayed in
order, displayed code numbers are switched by operating TUNE ºUPº or ºDOWNº switch. In LAN check
mode, by pressing º5º of PRESET switch for more than 2 secs., diagnosis memory of each equipment
can be deleted, when deletion is completed, the mode returns to LAN check mode.

(c) System check
When pressing º1º of PRESET switch in LAN check mode, the mode turns to the system check
mode, the system performs self diagnosis of connected equipment and displays the re-
sults.(ºSYSº (showing the system is under detection) is displayed.)
Perform the operation shown in the following illustration, then read the result of the inspection.

H: This shows the equipment has a diagnosis code.
190: Physical address
1: This is the number allotted to the diagnosis code
that occurred.

HINT:
It sometimes takes approx. 40 secs. till the system inspection is completed.
The chart below is an example of when diagnosis code º21º appears on the physical address (190)
equipment. (ROM error occurs on the radio receiver.)
The smaller code numbers (physical address) are displayed in order (code No., diagnosis code, sup-
port code of diagnosis code (object equipment)).
When no error is detected in the system, º00º is displayed.
When an error code is detected, up to 6 codes per one system are displayed. Pressing TUNE ºUPº
or ºDOWNº switches the display.
In the system check mode, when pressing º6º of PRESET switch the mode returns to LAN check mode.
(d) Diagnosis memory
(1) In LAN check mode, when pressing º2º of PRESET switch the mode turns to the diagnosis
memory mode. (ºCODEº is displayed.)
The results of self diagnosis performed over tuner and connected equipment are memorized and
displayed.
(2) Perform the operation shown in the following illustration, then read the result of the inspection.
HINT:
The smaller code numbers (physical address) are displayed in order (code No. , periodic communica-
tion number when error occurs, diagnosis code, and support code of diagnosis code (object equip-
ment)).
When no error is detected in the system, º00º is displayed. When an error code is detected, up to 6
codes per one system are displayed. Pressing TUNE ºUPº or ºDOWNº switches the display. Each diag-
nosis code is same as code in the system check mode.
When pressing º6º of PRESET switch, the mode returns to LAN check mode.
The following illustration below is an example of when diagnosis code ºD1º appears on the code (190)
and (240 or 360) equipment. (Communication error occurs between the radio receiver and CD chang-
er.)

H: This shows the equipment has a diagnosis code.

(e) Diagnosis memory clear
(1) After error is fixed, start up the diagnosis mode.
(2) Continue pressing preset switch º5º for 2 secs. (CLr is displayed.)
(3) Press the preset switch º2º and transfer to the diagnosis memory mode and check that the normal
code (00) is output.
