Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 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.
    2. Check voltage.
      1. Measure voltage between terminals +B, ACC and GND of navigation ECU at each conditions, as shown in the chart.

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

    Standard: Continuity exists. 

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go To Next Step 

  2. INSPECT NAVIGATION ECU (SYNC, VR, VG) 
    1. Check continuity.
      1. Check that the continuity exists between each terminals, as shown in the chart.
