Symptom Troubleshooting (cont’d)
NAVIGATION UNIT CONNECTOR A (17P)
5. Check to see if there is a specific speaker that has
no sound.
Speaker(s) failed the test:
If at least one speaker is OK, go to step 6.
If all speakers fail to sound: – With premium audio system: Go to step 14.
– Without premium audio system: Go to step 9.
Speakers all work, but sound quality is poor in
step 1.
If sound is poor only with XM radio, or the XM radio does not function, go to poor or no sound
with XM radio (see page 23-72).
If the sound is poor only with AM or FM, go to poor AM or FM radio reception or interference
(see page 23-29).
If the sound is poor only with disc. – Try several known- good disc in the navigation
unit.
– If the sound quality is normal, the original disc is faulty.
– If the sound quality is still poor, replace the navigation unit.
If the sound is poor in all modes, go to sound quality diagnosis (see page 23-74).
6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
7. Remove the speaker(s) with no sound (see page 23-83), and disconnect its connector.
8. Check the speaker 2P connector for a loose or poor connection.
Go to step 9.
Operation is normal.
9. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0). 10. Measure the resistance between terminals No. 1
and No. 2 of the speaker connector.
With premium audio system: Go to step 20.
Without premium audio system: Go to step 11. Faulty speaker(s).
11. Remove the navigation unit (see page 23-155). Disconnect navigation unit connector A (17P).
NOTE: Eject all the discs before removing the navigation unit to prevent damaging the CD player’s load
mechanism.
Remove the PC card before removing the navigation unit.
12. Measure the resistance between the following terminals of navigation unit connector A (17P)
accordingtothetable.
Driver’s door speaker,
Left tweeter A12 ( ) LT GRN
A3 ( ) PNK
Front passenger’s
door speaker,
Right tweeter A15 ( ) GRY
A7 ( ) BRN
Left rear speaker A11 ( ) YEL A2 ( ) BRN
Right rear speaker A16 ( ) BLU A8 ( ) ORN
Go to step 13.
Repair open or short in the wires between
navigation unit and the speaker(s).

NOTE:
Check the vehicle battery condition first.
Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
Set the fader and balance positions to the center.
Before performing symptom troubleshooting, do the power switch will not turn on troubleshooting
(see page 23-36).
For vehicles with factory installed audio, do the self- diagnostic function, speaker check (see page 23-25) to
help isolate the speaker.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Check that the volume button is not set to the MIN level.
Raise the volume level, and recheck the
function.
Go to step 3.
3. Do the speaker check mode in the self-diagnostic function (see page 23-25).
Speaker(s) failed the test:
If at least one speaker is OK, go to step 4.
If all speakers fail to sound, go to step 7.
Speakers all work, but sound quality is poor:
If the sound is poor only with AM or FM, go to poor AM or FM radio reception or interference

1. Verify the SVC mode setting in the navigation unit sound set-up.
Change the setting to Mid and retest
(see page 23-6).
Go to step 2.
2. Do the self-diagnostic function for the vehicle speed pulse indication (see page 23-23).
Substitute a known-good navigation unit
(see page 23-155), and retest. If the symptom/
indication goes away, replace the original
navigation unit.
Go to step 3.
3. Test-drive the vehicle at highway speeds, and monitor if the volume increases.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time.
Go to step 4. 4. Remove the navigation unit (see page 23-155), and
disconnect navigation unit connector A (17P).
NOTE: Eject all the discs before removing the navigation unit to prevent damaging the CD player’s load
mechanism.
Remove the PC card before removing the navigation unit.
5. Drive the vehicle, and have an assistant measure voltage at navigation unit connector A (17P)
terminal No. 13.
Replace the navigation unit (see page 23-155).
Repair open or shorts in the wire between
navigation unit connector A (17P) terminal No. 13
and ECM/PCM connector A (44P) terminal No. 29. If
no opens or shorts are found, Update the ECM/
PCM (see page 11-227) if it does not have the latest
software or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM
(see page 11-228).
