AV Switch Self-Diagnosis FunctionEKS00BIF
It can check ON/OFF operation of each switch in the AV switch and diagnose the input signals from the steer-
ing switch.
STARTING THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ACC.
2. Within 10 seconds press and hold the switches “PAUSE/MUTE”
and “PREV” simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Then the self-diagnosis operates. A single beep indicates self-
diagnosis mode is active.
3. Press each switch and listen for beep.
NOTE:
CD player LOAD and EJECT buttons are not included in this test
and will not beep when pressed.
EXITING THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS MODE
Turn ignition switch OFF. Then the self-diagnosis ends.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

It can check for continuity of the switches by sounding the beep when each AV switch and steering switch
is pressed.

It can check for continuity of harness between AV switch and steering switch.

Trouble DiagnosisEKS00BIG
The majority of the audio troubles are the result of outside causes (bad CD, electromagnetic interference,
etc.). Check the inspection items below to diagnose the malfunction.
MALFUNCTION WITH RADIO AND CD
Before proceeding, confirm that other AV switch functions (except audio functions) operate. If not, refer to AV-
145, "Unable to Operate All of AV Switches (Unable to Start Self-Diagnosis)" .
FOR RADIO ONLY
Symptom Possible cause
Inoperative

Audio unit power circuit check. Refer to AV-30, "Power Supply Circuit
Inspection" .

Audio communication line check. Refer to AV-126, "Audio Communication
Line Check (Between Display Control Unit and Audio Unit)" .

AV switch check. Refer to AV- 3 3 , "AV S w i tc h C h e c k" .
If above check is OK, replace audio unit.
Steering switch does not operate

Steering switch check. Refer to AV-32, "Steering Switch Check" .

AV switch check. Refer to AV- 3 3 , "AV S w i tc h C h e c k" .
If above check is OK, replace audio unit.

NOTE:
1. The following noise results from variations in field strength, such as fading noise and multi-path noise, or
external noise from trains and other sources. It is not a malfunction.

Fading noise: This noise occurs because of variations in the field strength in a narrow range due to moun-
tains or buildings blocking the signal.

Multi-path noise: This noise results from the waves sent directly from the broadcast station arriving at the
antenna at a different time from the waves which reflect off mountains or buildings.
FOR CD ONLY
Noise InspectionEKS00BIH
The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunctioning.
Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-
tion of each piece of electrical equipment, and determine the cause.
NOTE:
The source of the noise can be found easily by listening to the noise while removing the fuses of electrical
components, one by one.
TYPE OF NOISE AND POSSIBLE CAUSE
Symptom Possible cause
CD cannot be inserted.

CD

Audio unit CD cannot be ejected.
The CD cannot be played.
The sound skips, stops suddenly, or is distorted.
Occurrence condition Possible cause
Occurs only when engine is ON.A continuous growling noise occurs. The speed of
the noise varies with changes in the engine speed.

Ignition components
A whistling noise occurs while the engine speed is
high. A booming noise occurs while the engine is
running and the lighting switch is ON.

Generator
The occurrence of the noise is linked with the operation of the fuel pump.

Fuel pump condenser
Noise only occurs when various
electrical components are oper-
ating.A cracking or snapping sound occurs with the
operation of various switches.

Relay malfunction, audio unit malfunction
The noise occurs when various motors are operat-
ing.

Motor case ground

Motor
The noise occurs constantly, not just under certain conditions.

Rear defogger coil malfunction

Open circuit in printed heater

Poor ground of antenna amplifier or
antenna feeder line
A cracking or snapping sound occurs while the vehicle is being driven, especially
when it is vibrating excessively.

Ground wire of body parts

Ground due to improper part installation

Wiring connections or a short circuit
