Repair Procedure

1. Make sure the vehicle is stationary during the test.

2. Insert a compact disc (NOT the Toyota Master CD) to make sure the radio can accept and eject the disc without damaging it.

3. Check the Toyota Master CD for any unintended scratches or dirt. Wipe away dirt using a glass cleaning cloth. If the disc is damaged, order a replacement master CD.

4. Insert the Toyota Master CD and change to track number 9.

5. Play the track for one minute.

A. If skips are heard, replace the CD player.

B. If NO skips are heard, the CD player is working normally. Check the customer's CDs for scratches or other damage to the discs. Confirm that the customer is using a pre-recorded CD, NOT CD-Rs or CD-RWs as they may NOT have been burned properly.

NOTE:
^ Tracks 1 - 8 and 11 - 14 are reference tracks. They can be used, but the conditions are less severe than track 9. Do NOT use tracks 10 and 15.

^ Track 9 (0.8 mm scratch) is much more severe than the Toyota engineering specification in order to ensure customer satisfaction. If the customer's radio passes this test, a replacement radio will NOT improve the performance.

^ This disc has been specially manufactured with a physical defect for the purposes of testing the CD player's performance. It is NOT possible to make copies of this disc that can be used to test the CD player's performance.
