1. With the ignition switch ON (II), push the power switch ON to see if the audio unit turns ON.

Does the power turn on?

YES - Operation is normal.

NO - Go to step 2.

2. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then check the No. 5 (10 A) and No. 32 (7.5 A) fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Are the fuses OK?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Replace the fuse(s) and recheck.

3. Remove the audio-HVAC display module. Check that audio unit connector A (20P) is properly connected.

Is it connected properly?

YES - Go to step 4.

NO - Reconnect the connector, and recheck the function.




4. Measure voltage between audio unit connector A (20P) terminal No. 10 and body ground. There should be battery voltage.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 5.

NO - Repair the open circuit or poor connection in the wire between the under-dash fuse/relay box No. 5 (10 A) fuse and the audio unit connector A10 terminal.
