Symptom Troubleshooting (cont’d)
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 23-36).
 For vehicles with factory installed audio, do the self- diagnostic function, speaker check (see page 23-25) to
help isolate the speaker.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Check that the volume button is not set to the MIN level.
Raise the volume level, and recheck the
function.
Go to step 3.
3. Do the speaker check mode in the self-diagnostic function (see page 23-25).
Speaker(s) failed the test:
 If at least one speaker is OK, go to step 4.
 If all speakers fail to sound, go to step 7.
Speakers all work, but sound quality is poor:
 If the sound is poor only with AM or FM, go to poor AM or FM radio reception or interference
(see page 23-32).
 If the sound is poor only with disc. – Try several known- good disc in the audio unit.
– If the sound quality is normal, the original disc is faulty.
– If the sound quality is still poor, replace the audio unit.
 If the sound is poor in all modes, go to sound quality diagnosis (see page 23-74).
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). 5. Remove the speaker(s) with no sound (see page
23-83), and disconnect its connector.
6. Check the speaker 2P connector for a loose or poor connection.
Go to step 7.
Operation is normal.
7. Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
8. Remove the speaker(s) with no sound (see page 23-84), and disconnect its connector.
9. Measure the resistance between terminals No. 1 and No. 2 of the speaker connector.
Go to step 10.
Faulty speaker(s).
10. Remove the audio unit (see page 23-80). Disconnect audio unit connector A (17P).
NOTE: Eject all the discs before removing the audio
unit to prevent damaging the CD player’s load
mechanism.

PC card will not play/card icon on audio
screen cannot be selected (with navigation)
23-67
Unfortunately there are no error messages, and no
diagnostics for the PC card. There are many reasons
why a card won’t play audio files in the audio unit. The card may not be fully inserted into the slot. Eject the card, and inspect for warping or damage to the
edge connector. N ever use excessive force to insert a
card. This can result in damage to the pins in the rear
of the slot.
 The client’s card may contain audio files that are not recognized by the system. Only MP3, and WMA
music files are played.
 The flash card type may not be accepted by the system. Only Compact Flash and ATA cards have
been tested.
 The card’s PCMCIA adaptor may be preventing a known-good card from playing. New PCMCIA
adaptors are constantly being released, and have not
been tested.
 The card’s capacity may exceed 1 GB. Only cards with capacities of up to 1 GB (1000 MB) have been
tested.
 There may not be any files on the card. Some cards have write protection, make sure it is turned off
before putting files on the card.
 Although flash memory chips are reliable, occasionally they develop bad sectors or other
formatting errors that prevents them from playing.
The customer should re-format the card using the
FAT, or FAT32 format.  The card may have been damaged by heat. Suggest
that the client remove their card when exiting the
vehicle.
 The client may have formatted the card using the format NTFS. Only the formats FAT, and FAT32 are
accepted by the system.
 Hard Disc Drive (HDD) cards may not work properly in the system and can overheat and quit functioning,
particularly in a hot vehicle. They are not
recommended.
 The filing structure of the card may exceed the specification of 8 folder levels deep, 99 folders
maximum, and 999 total tracks maximum. If any of
these limitations is exceeded, the system may not
properly display or play the tracks.
NOTE: A delay when first inserting a card is normal.
The system is reading the File Tag information for
album names, artist, and song titles and there is no
hour glass, The delay length depends on the number of
tracks, and the complexity of the folder structure.
See the audio section glossary for an explanation of the
terms used above.

Seek Stop Test
23-7823-78 Audio System
Sound Quality Diagnosis (cont’d)
8. Compare the client’s vehicle’s sound quality results
to the known-good vehicle’s results.
 If the sound quality in the customer’s vehicle is comparable to the sound quality in the known-
good vehicle, then the client’s vehicle is
operating as designed.
 If the sound quality is not comparable, check these items in order.
– Loose or improperly installed speakers or other hardware that may become excited by
the vibrations generated by the speakers
– Poor power or ground to the stereo amplifier (Type S model)
– Damaged speaker(s)
– Faulty amplifier (Type S model)
– Faulty navigation unit
– Faulty audio unit Do this test to check the performance of the audio unit’s
AM and FM reception. Refer to symptom
troubleshooting: audio sound weak or distorted, or no
sound is heard from speakers (display is normal)
(see page 23-39) before continuing with this test.
NOTE:
 Window tint, aftermarket theft-recovery devices and other aftermarket accessories may reduce radio
reception.
 Changes in cloud cover and other atmosphere conditions will affect the ab ility of the navigation unit
or audio unit to receive radio signals.
1. Park the client’s vehicle in an open area away from buildings or other obstructions.
2. Park a known-good vehicle (same year, model, and trim level) next to the client’s vehicle, facing the
same direction.
3. Start the engine in the client’s vehicle, and turn on the radio.
4. Set the FM receiver to 87.7 MHz.
5. Press the Seek button and record the first station that the navigation unit or audio unit locks onto.
6. Press the Seek button repeatedly, and write down each station that the navigation unit or audio
unit locks onto until the station recorded in step 5 is
reached again.
7. Set the AM receiver to 530 kHz.
8. Press the Seek button, and record the first station that the navigation unit or audio unit locks
on to.
9. Press the Seek button repeatedly, and write down each station that the navigation unit or audio
unit locks onto until the station recorded in step 8 is
reached again.
