AUDIO T I Symptom: Poor sound quality or noise (Radio) 1 ,, Possible cause Damaged cassette tape Damaged speaker Damaged antenna Damaged audio unit Open circuit in wiring harness Poor connection of connector 45UOTX-245 Step 1 1. Tune to the strongest AM station using the automatic memory function. 2. If the automatic memory function does not operate, go to Step 4. 3. Compare sound quality with that of another vehicle that has the same type audio unit. 4. If the sound quality is inferior to the other unit, go to Step n L. 5. If the sound quality is the same as the other unit, the sys- tem is OK. Step 2 1. Play a known good cassette tape, and compare the sound quality with another vehicle that has the same type audio unit. 2. If the sound quality is inferior to the other unit, the mal- function may be in the speaker circuit. Go to Step 3. 3. If the sound quality is same as the other unit, the mal- function may be in the antenna circuit. Go to Step 4. Step 3 1. Check for damage to the speakers. 2. Check for proper connection of speaker connectors. 3. Disconnect the speaker connectors, and measure resis- tance of each speaker. Resistance: 452 4. If a speaker has incorrect resistance or is damaged, re- place it. 5. If the speakers are OK, replace the audio unit. Step 4 1. Check that there is no continuity (infinite ohms) between the mast antenna and a body ground. 2. If there is continuity, replace the antenna. 3. If there is no continuity, go to Step 5.

T AUDIO Step 5 1. Check for proper tightness of the antenna mounting nut. 2. If the nut is loose, tighten it. 3. If the nut is tight, go to Step 6. u Step 6 1. Remove the audio unit. (Refer to page T-145.) 2. Check for proper connection of the antenna connector. 3. If necessary, repair or reconnect it. 4. If the connection if OK, replace the audio unit.. Gartner Banana

AUDIO T 1 Symptom: Poor sound quality (Cassette tape player) I u Possible cause Damaged cassette tape Damaged speaker Damaged audio unit Dirty heads and pinchroller 45UOTX-250 Step 1 1. Play a known good tape, and check the sound quality. 2. If sound quality is normal, the previous tape is defective. The system is OK. 3. If sound quality is still poor, go to Step 2. Step 2 1. Check for oxide or dirt on the head, capstan, and pinch- roller. 2. If oxide or dirt is found, clean the parts by using a head cleaner (commercially available). 3. If there is no oxide or dirt, go to Step 3. Step 3 1. Check for damage to the speakers. 2. Check for proper connection of the speaker connectors. 3. Disconnect all speaker connectors, and measure resis- tance of each speaker. Resistance: 4Q 4. If a speaker has incorrect resistance or is damaged, re- place it. 5. If the speakers are OK, go to Step 4. Step 4 1. Compare sound quality with that of another vehicle that has the same type of audio system. 2. If the sound quality is inferior to the other unit, replace the audio unit. Gartner Banana

T AUDIO Symptom: Cassette tape will not load Possible cause Damaged cassette tape Damaged audio unit Step 1 1. Check if a known good cassette tape will load. 2. If the tape loads, the previous tape is defective. The sys- tem is OK. 3. If the tape will not load, go to Step 2. I I 9MUOTX-384 s=Jh Step 2 1. Check if radio operation is OK. 2. If radio operation is OK, replace the audio unit. 3. If the radio do not operate, there is a defect in the power supply circuit. Gartner Banana

AUDIO Symptom: Cassette tape will not play i/ Possible cause Damaged cassette tape Damaged audio unit 45UOTX-252 Step 1 1. Check if cassette tape will load. 2. If cassette tape will not load, see "Cassette tape will load." (Refer to page T-134.) 3. If cassette tape loads, go to Step 2. not Step 2 1. Play a known good tape, and check the sound quality. 2. If the sound quality is normal, the previous tape is defec- tive. The system is OK. 3. If the sound quality is still poor, go to Step 3. Step 3 1. Check for oxide or dirt on the head, capstan, and pinch- roller. 2. If oxide or dirt is found, clean the parts by using a head cleaner (commercially available). 3. If after cleaning the parts, the tape still does not play, re- fer to "Speaker(s) do not operate" (Refer to page T-125, 127) or "No sound can be heard." (Refer to page T-137.) Gartner Banana
