12. Check for continuity between navigation unit connector D (7P) and rearview camera 6P connector according to the table.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 13.
NO - Open in the wire(s) between the navigation unit and the rearview camera. Replace the affected shielded harness.
13. Check for continuity between the navigation connector D (7P) terminal No.7 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between the navigation unit and the rearview camera.
NO - Go to step 14.
14. Check for continuity between navigation unit connector D (7P) and rearview camera 6P connector according to the table.
