Is it at MIN level?

YES - Raise the volume level, and recheck the function.

NO - Go to step 2.

2. Check the NAVIGATION VOICE MUTE COMMAND and the HANDSFREELINK MUTE MODE.

Are the NAVIGATION VOICE MUTE COMMAND and the HANDSFREELINK MUTE MODE set?

YES - Cancel the NAVIGATION VOICE MUTE COMMAND by pressing the voice command and HANDSFREELINK back button, and recheck the function.

NO - Go to step 3.

3. See if the problem recurs with the tuner and more than one CD.

Does the problem recur using the tuner as well as CDs?

YES - Go to step 4.

NO - Go to poor AM or FM radio reception or interference troubleshooting.

4. Check to see if the problem affects all speakers.

Are all speakers affected?

YES - Go to step 6.

NO - Go to step 5.

5. Check the speaker(s) with the problem for damage.

Is the speaker(s) damaged?

YES - Replace the damaged speaker(s) and recheck.

NO - Go to step 6.

6. Check No. 5 (20 A) and No. 32 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Are the fuses OK?

YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Replace the fuse and recheck.

7. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
8. Remove the center console pocket.
9. Disconnect stereo amplifier connectors A (20P) and B (14P).




10. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector A (20P) terminal No. 10 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 11.

NO - Repair open in the wire between No. 5 (20 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and the stereo amplifier.

11. Turn the ignition switch to ACC (I).




12. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector A (20P) terminal No. 9 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 13.

NO - Repair open in the wire between No. 32 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and the stereo amplifier.

13. Reconnect stereo amplifier connector A (20P).




14. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector B (14P) terminal No. 7 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 15.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the audio unit and the stereo amplifier.

15. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




16. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector B (14P) No. 14 terminal and body ground.

Is there less than 0.1 V?

YES - Go to step 17.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the stereo amplifier and ground (G504). If the wire is OK inspect the ground.




17. Measure the voltage between stereo amplifier connector A (20P) No. 20 terminal and body ground.

Is there less than 0.1 V?

YES - Go to step 18.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the stereo amplifier and ground (G504). If the wire is OK inspect the ground.

18. Remove the audio-HVAC display module.
19. Disconnect audio unit connector A (20P) and stereo amplifier connector B (14P).




20. Check for continuity between the audio unit connector A (20P) and stereo amplifier connector B (14P) according to the table.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short to ground in the wire between the audio unit and the stereo amplifier.

NO - Go to step 21.




21. Check for continuity between the stereo amplifier connector B (14P) according to the table terminals and the appropriate shield terminals.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the harness between the audio unit and the stereo amplifier.

NO - Go to step 22.

22. Disconnect stereo amplifier connector A (20P).




23. Measure the resistance between the stereo amplifier connector A (20P) terminals according to the table.

Is the resistance as specified?

YES - Go to step 24.

NO - Replace the appropriate speaker and recheck.




24. Check for continuity between the stereo amplifier connector A (20P) speaker circuit terminals and body ground according to the table.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short to body ground between the stereo amplifier and the appropriate speaker.

NO - Go to step 25.

25. Substitute a known-good stereo amplifier and retest.

Is the problem still present?

YES - Substitute a known-good audio unit and retest. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original audio unit.

NO - Replace the original stereo amplifier.
