    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

    Tester connection Condition Specified condition
    1 - Ground Constant Battery positive voltage
    6 - Ground Ignition switch LOCK No voltage
    6 - Ground Ignition switch ACC or ON Battery positive voltage
    8 - Ground Constant Continuity

    If the circuit is not as specified, inspect the circuits connected to other parts.

    HINT:

    • Check the wire harness between the radio receiver assembly and the CD auto changer.
    • Since the signals to and from the MUTE(3), CDL+(2), CDL-(7), CDR+(1), CDR-(6), TXM- (9) and TX+(4) terminals are serial signals, they cannot ordinarily be measured with a tester.
  2. INSPECT POWER AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (PIONEER made) 

    Disconnect the connector from power amplifier and inspect the connector on the wire harness side.

    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

    Tester connection Condition Specified condition
    B4 - Ground Constant Battery positive voltage
    B7 - Ground Constant Continuity
    C12 - Ground Ignition switch LOCK and radio switch ON No voltage
    C12 - Ground Ignition switch ACC or ON and radio switch ON Battery positive voltage

    If the circuit is not as specified, inspect the circuits connected to other parts.

  3. INSPECT POWER AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MARK LEVINSON made) 

    Disconnect the connector from power amplifier and inspect the connector on the wire harness side.
