Inspection Procedure

  1. IDENTIFY THE COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE 
    1. Enter the diagnostic mode.

    2. Press the preset switch "3" to change to "Detailed Information Mode".
    3. Identify the component shown by the sub-code.

      HINT:

      • "190 (radio receiver)" is the component shown by the subcode in the example shown in the illustration.
      • For details of the DTC display, refer to DTC CHECK/CLEAR .
  2. CHECK POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT OF COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE 
    1. Inspect the power source circuit of the component shown by the sub-code.

      If the power source circuit is operating normally, proceed to the next step.

    Component Table: 

    COMPONENT REFERENCE

    Component Proceed to
    Integration control & panel assembly (1D8) Integration control & panel assembly power source circuit (See INTEGRATION CONTROL AND PANEL ASSEMBLY POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT )
    Stereo component amplifier (440) Stereo component amplifier power source circuit (See STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT )
    Radio receiver (190) Radio receiver power source circuit (See RADIO RECEIVER POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT )
  3. INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER 
    1. Disconnect the radio receiver connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      ATX+ - ATX- Always 60 to 80 Ω
      TXM+ - TXM- Always 60 to 80 Ω
      TX+ - TX- Always 60 to 80 Ω

    NG: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GATEWAY ECU - COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUBCODE) 

    HINT:

    • Start the check from the circuit that is near the component shown by the sub-code first.
    • For details of the connectors, refer to the TERMINALS OF ECU .
    1. Referring to the AVC-LAN wiring diagram below, check the AVC-LAN circuit between the gateway ECU and the component shown by the sub-code.
      1. Disconnect all connectors between the gateway ECU and the component shown by sub-code.
      2. Check for an open or short in the AVC-LAN circuit between the gateway ECU and the component shown by the sub-code.

        OK: 

        There is no open or short circuit.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. REPLACE COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE 
    1. Replace the component shown by the sub-code with a normal one and check if the same problem occurs again.

      OK: 

      Same problem does not occur. 

    NG: REPLACE GATEWAY ECU 

    OK: END
