Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Toyota Sienna. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This circuit sends a signal to each component to mute noise. Because of that, noise produced by changing the sound source ceases.
In addition, this circuit is used to mute sound when the navigation system performs voice guide.
If there is an open in the circuit, noise can be heard from the speakers when changing the sound source.
When the vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, audio sound keeps coming out from the speaker on the driver's side while the voice navigation is in operation.
If there is a short in the circuit, even though the stereo component amplifier assy is normal, no sound or only an extremely small sound can be produced.
