CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This circuit is necessary for the stereo component amplifier assy for the ASL (Auto Sound Leveliser). Speed
signals are received from the combination meter.
The ASL function automatically adjusts the sound data in order to enable to hear the clear audio sound even
when the vehicle noise is increased (as vehicle noise increased, the volume is turned up etc.)
Standard System: Using speed signals and a microphone for the ASL built into the stereo component amplifier
assy.
Mark Levinson System: Using speed signals.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSY -
COMBINATION METER ASSY)
a. Disconnect the connectors from the stereo component amplifier assy S29 and combination meter
assy C12.
b. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

2.INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSY
a. Check the voltage.
1. Jack up either of the front wheels.
2. Adjust the shift lever to the neutral position.
3. Measure the voltage between the terminals +S and body ground while turning the front wheel
slowly.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This circuit sends the signal to the stereo component amplifier to mute the noise. Because of that, the noise
produced by changing the sound source ceases.
In addition, this circuit is used to mute the sound when the navigation system performs voice guide.
If there is an open in the circuit, noise can be heard from the speaker when changing the sound source.
When the vehicle is equipped with the navigation system, audio sound keeps coming out from the speaker on
the driver's side while the voice navigation is in operation.
If there is a short in the circuit, even though the stereo component amplifier assy is normal, no sound or only
extremely small sound can be produced.
