2. To allow each manufacturer to concentrate on developing products they do best. From this,
reasonably priced products can be produced.
HINT:
If a +B or GND short is detected in the AVC-LAN circuit, communication is interrupted and the
audio system will stop functioning.
If an audio system is equipped with a navigation system, the multi-display unit acts as the master
unit. If the navigation system is not equipped, the audio head unit acts as the master unit instead. If
the radio and navigation assy is equipped, it is the master unit.
The radio and navigation assy provides resistance to make communication possible.
The car audio system with an AVC-LAN circuit has a diagnostic function.
Each component has a specified number (3-digit) called a physical address. Each function has a
number (2-digit) called a logical address.
3.Communication system outline
a. Components of the audio system communicate with each other via the AVC-LAN.
b. The master component of the AVC-LAN is a radio receiver assy with a 60 to 80 ohms resistor. This
is essential for communication.
c. If a short circuit or open circuit occurs in the AVC-LAN circuit, communication is interrupted and
the audio system will stop functioning.
4.Diagnostic function outline
a. The audio system has a diagnostic function (the result is indicated on the master unit).
b. A 3-digit hexadecimal component code (physical address) is allocated to each component on the
AVC-LAN. Using this code, the component in the diagnostic function can be displayed.

2.Diagnostic questioning and symptom confirmation (SEE CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
CHECK )
Ask the customer about symptoms and confirm malfunctions. Fill out the Customer Problem Analysis
check sheet.

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.

HINT:
The position of the terminus circuit differs in vehicles with and without the LEXUS navigation system.
The skid control ECU with actuator detects and stores steering sensor and yaw rate sensor DTCs and
performs DTC communication by receiving information from the steering sensor and yaw rate sensor.
The ECM detects and stores distance control ECU DTCs, and performs DTC communication by
receiving information from the distance control ECU.
The ECM uses the CAN communication system to perform DTC communication instead of the

5.REMARK FOR TROUBLESHOOTING
a. Trouble in the CAN bus (communication line) can be checked from the DLC3 (except when there
is a wire break other than in the sub bus line of the DLC3).
b. DTCs regarding the CAN communication system can be checked using the hand-held tester via the
CAN VIM.
c. The CAN communication system cannot detect trouble in the sub bus line of the DLC3 even
though the DLC3 is also connected to the CAN communication system.
6.HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE CAN J/C CONNECTOR
a. In the CAN communication system, the shape of all connectors connected to the CAN J/C is the
same. The connectors connected to the CAN J/C can be distinguished by the colors of the bus lines
and the connecting side of the connector.
HINT:
See TERMINALS OF ECU
for bus line color or the type of connecting surface.
