If yes, go to Step 3.
If no, repair or replace the tape player. The auto reverse function should operate normally.

STEP 3. Is the tape player properly installed to the vehicle?
If yes, repair or replace the tape player. The auto reverse function should operate normally.
If no, repair the installation condition. The auto reverse function should operate normally.
