unit to prevent damaging the CD player’s load
mechanism.
6. Measure the voltage between audio unit connector A (17P) terminal No. 14 and body ground.
Check for short to power on PUR wire.
Replace the audio unit (see page 23-256). 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 23-202).
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Check for sound in each mode (AM, FM, XM, and CD).
