Error codes over tuner and connected equipment are displayed on the screen of tuner.
- Diagnosis start-up
For shifting to diagnosis mode, push "DISC" switch 3 times with pressing "1" and "6" of PRESET switch at the same time while the audio power is OFF and ACC is ON.
To exit from diagnosis mode, press "DISC" switch for 2 seconds or turn the ignition key OFF. (When "1-190" is displayed, the mode is transferred to LAN check mode.)
- LAN check
When starting up the diagnosis mode, the mode turns to LAN check mode, the screen displays the code numbers (physical address) of tuner and connected equipment. Smaller codes are displayed in order, displayed code numbers are switched by operating TUNE "UP" or "DOWN" switch. In LAN check mode, by pressing "5" of PRESET switch for more than 2 secs., diagnosis memory of each equipment can be deleted, when deletion is completed, the mode returns to LAN check mode.

- When pressing "1" of PRESET switch in LAN check mode, the mode turns to the system check mode, the system performs self diagnosis of connected equipment and displays the results. ("SYS" (showing the system is under detection) is displayed.)
- Perform the operation shown in the following illustration, then read the result of the inspection.
HINT:
- It sometimes takes approx. 40 sees, till the system inspection is completed.
- The chart below is an example of when diagnosis code "21" appears on the physical address (190) equipment. (ROM error occurs on the radio receiver.)
- The smaller code numbers (physical address) are displayed in order (code No., diagnosis code, support code of diagnosis code (object equipment)).
- When no error is detected in the system, "00" is displayed.
- When an error code is detected, up to 6 codes per one system are displayed. Pressing TUNE "UP" or "DOWN" switches the display.
- In the system check mode, when pressing "6" of PRESET switch the mode returns to LAN check mode.
- Diagnosis memory
- In LAN check mode, when pressing "2" of PRESET switch the mode turns to the diagnosis memory mode. ("CODE" is displayed.)
The results of self diagnosis performed over tuner and connected equipment are memorized and displayed.
- Perform the operation shown in the following illustration, then read the result of the inspection.
HINT:
- The smaller code numbers (physical address) are displayed in order (code No., periodic communication number when error occurs, diagnosis code, and support code of diagnosis code (object equipment)).
- When no error is detected in the system, "00" is displayed. When an error code is detected, up to 6 codes per one system are displayed. Pressing TUNE "UP" or "DOWN" switches the display. Each diagnosis code is same as code in the system check mode.
- When pressing "6" of PRESET switch, the mode returns to LAN check mode.
- The following illustration below is an example of when diagnosis code "D1" appears on the code (190) and (240 or 360) equipment. (Communication error occurs between the radio receiver and CD changer.)
- In LAN check mode, when pressing "2" of PRESET switch the mode turns to the diagnosis memory mode. ("CODE" is displayed.)
