TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTICE:
When replacing the internal mechanism (computer part) of the audio system, be careful that no part
of your body or clothing comes in contact with the terminals of the leads from the IC, etc. of the re-
placement part (spare part).
HINT:
This inspection procedure is a simple troubleshooting which should be carried out on the vehicle during sys-
tem operation and was prepared on the assumption of system component troubles (except for the wires and
connectors, etc.).
Always inspect the trouble taking the following items into consideration.
Open or short circuit of the wire harness
Connector or terminal connection fault
For audio systems with anti±theft system, troubleshooting items marked ( * ) indicate that ºTrou-
bleshooting for ANTI±THEFT SYSTEMº should be carried out first.
ProblemNo.
RadioRadio not operating when power switch turned to 'ON'.1
Display indicates when power switch turned to 'ON', but no sound (including
'noise') is produced.2
Noise present, but AM ± FM not operating.3
Any speaker does not work.4
Any AM or FM does not work.5
Few preset turning bands.5

NoiseNoise occurs26
Noise produced by vibration or shock while driving.27
Noise produced when engine starts.28
The term ºAMº includes LW,MW and SW, and the term ºFWº includes UKW.

27 Noise NOISE PRODUCED BY VIBRATION OR SHOCK WHILE DRIVING
No
Ye s Is speaker properly installed?
Noise is produced from static eletricity accumulating in the vehicle body. With vehicles stationary lightly tap each system.
Is noise produced?Install properly.
Each system faulty. Is speaker properly installed?
No
No Ye s

28 Noise NOISE PRODUCED WHEN ENGINE STARTS
NoYe s Whistling noise which becomes high±pitched when
accelerator strongly depressed, disappears shortly
after engine stops.Generator noise.
A/C noise.
Fuel gauge noise.
Horn noise.
Ignition noise.
Turn signal noise.
Washer noise.
Engine coolant temp. gauge noise.
Wiper noise. Whining noise occurs when A/C is operating.
Scratching noise occurs during sudden acceleration, driving on rough
roads or when ignition switch is turned ON.
Clicking sound is heard when horn button is pressed, then
released. Whirring/grating sound is heard when pushed
continuously.
Murmuring sound stops when engine stops.
Tick±tack noise occurs in co±ordination with blinking
offlasher.
Noise occurs during window washer operation.
Scratching noise occurs while engine is running,
and continues a while even after engine stops.
Scraping noise in line with wiper beat.
