Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Toyota Camry Solara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the radio receiver assembly R2 or R6 connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the values in the table below.
