switch.
3. Replace sonar control unit. Refer to SN-50, "
Removal and
Installation".

light but the sonar buzzer does sound. 1. Check sonar system OFF switch. Refer to
SN-19, "
Diagno-
sis Procedure (With Rear Sonar System)" or SN-19, "Diag-
nosis Procedure (With Front and Rear Sonar System)".
2. Check harness and connections for sonar system OFF indi- cator lamp.
3. Replace sonar control unit.
When the sonar system is OFF, the sonar buzzer does not sound
but the OFF indicator lamp lights. 1. Check sonar buzzer. Refer to
SN-18, "
Component Inspec-
tion" or SN-17, "Diagnosis Procedure (With Front and Rear
Sonar System)".
2. Check harness and connections between sonar buzzer and sonar control unit.
3. Replace sonar control unit.
When sonar system is ON, the sonar system OFF indicator lamp
lights up and the sonar buzzer sounds intermittently (for about 4
seconds). (Rear sonar system only) 1. Check harnesses between sonar sensors and sonar control
unit for an open condition.
2. Check sonar sensors. Refer to SN-5, "
Preliminary Check".
3. Replace sonar control unit.
The sonar system still operates when the sonar system is OFF. 1. Replace sonar control unit.
When the transmission gear selector lever is in the R position and
the sonar system is ON, the rear sonar system does not operate. 1. Check transmissin range switch. Refer to
TM-45, "
Diagnosis
Procedure".
2. Check back-up lamp relay.
3. Check related harness and connections for back-up lamp re- lay.
4. Replace sonar control unit.
When the transmission gear selector lever is in a forward drive
gear and the sonar system is ON, the front sonar system does not
operate. (With front and rear sonar system only) 1. Check harness and connections between sonar control unit
and combination meter.
2. Replace sonar control unit.
Sonar system OFF indicator lamp lights up and buzzer sounds al-
though there are no obstacles within the detection range. 1. Check sonar sensors.
2. Check harness and connections between sonar sensors
and sonar control unit.
3. Replace sonar control unit.
The sonar sensors do not detect objects in the detectable range. 1. Check sonar sensors.
2. Replace sonar control unit.

Erase Self-diagnosis
• In order to make it easier to find the cause of
hard-to-duplicate malfunctions, malfunction information is
stored into the control unit as necessary during use by the user. This memory is not erased no matter how
many times the ignition switch is turned ON and OFF.
• However, this information is erased by turning ignition switch OFF after executing self-diagnostics or by erasing the memory using the CONSULT-III.
