Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Inspect Navigation ECU (+B, ACC, GND) 
    1. Remove the navigation ECU with connectors with still connected.

    3. Check continuity.
      1. Check that the continuity exists between terminal GND of navigation ECU and body ground.

      Standard: Continuity exists. 

    1. NG: Repair Or Replace Harness Or Connector 
    2. OK: Go To Next Step 
  2. Inspect Navigation ECU (SYNC, VR, VG) 
    1. Check continuity.
      1. Check that the continuity exists between each terminal, as shown in Fig 4.
