STEP 5. Check the connection of the antenna plug and radio and CD
player.
Q: Is the antenna plug thoroughly connected to the radio and CD player?
YES: Go to Step 7 .
NO: Go to Step 6.
STEP 6. Verify that the noise is eliminated when the antenna plug is
properly attached.
Q: Is the noise eliminated?
YES: Consult the radio manufacturer's service center.
NO: Go to Step 7.
STEP 7. Verify that the antenna is in good condition and is it properly

Q: Is there more noise on the customers radio?
YES: Check all power and ground connections. If all connections are in
good condition, consult the radio manufacturers service center.
NO: The observed noise is normal.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 13: Noise is Detected with Engine Running. DIAGNOSIS
CAUTION:
Never connect a noise filter to the high tension
cable (spark plug wire). Spark plug wires
incorporate resistors which have the effect of
suppressing noise. If a spark plug wire is found
to be causing noise, it must be replaced. Confirm that the noise is not from an external
source. Noise prevention should be performed by
suppressing strong sources of noise first.
NOTE: Voltage surges can be induced in the electrical system by
the collapse of a field (i.e. When power is removed from the
coil in an A/C compressor clutch). This induced voltage
surge will radiate a Radio Frequency (RF) signal that is
picked up by the audio unit. In the case of the compressor
clutch a "pop" will be heard through the speakers. The
capacitor, installed on this vehicle, will store the excess
voltage and prevent the production of RF noise. This is
because the capacitor will charge and discharge as the
voltage fluctuates. This has the effect of "attracting" noise
and bleeding it to ground without interfering with the
normal flow of current through the system.

2. Start the engine.
3. Check the data list.
Item 02: Ambient air temperature sensor.
Check that the ambient temperature matches the displayed value on
the scan tool.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor within the specified range?
YES:
Replace the A/C-ECU. Then go to Step 7 .
NO:
Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check A/C-ECU connectors C-16, C-17 and ambient air
temperature sensor connector A-22 for loose, corroded or damaged
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.NOTE: When this DTC is set and the system is fail-safe
status, the value of service data displays 20°C.
