DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:
- MB991223: Harness set




STEP 1. Check the amplifier power supply circuit by backprobing.
1. Do not disconnect amplifier connector D-20.
2. Measure the voltages between terminal 2 and ground by backprobing.
3. Measure the voltages between terminal 10 and ground by backprobing.

Q: Are the voltages approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage)?

YES: Go to Step 4.

NO: Go to Step 2.







STEP 2. Check amplifier connector D-20 for damage.

Q: Is amplifier connector D-20 in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 3.

NO: Repair or replace it. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. The speakers should sound.










STEP 3. Check the harness wires between amplifier connector D-20 and fusible link (4).

NOTE: After inspecting intermediate connector C-89, inspect the wires. If intermediate connector C-89 is damaged, repair or replace it. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection.




Q: Are the harness wires between amplifier connector D-20 and fusible link (4) in good condition?

YES: There is no action to be taken.

NO: Repair them. The speakers should sound.







STEP 4. Check amplifier connector D-20 for damage.

Q: Is amplifier connector D-20 in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 5.

NO: Repair or replace it. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. The speakers should sound.







STEP 5. Check the harness wires between amplifier connector D-20 and ground.

Q: Are the harness wires between amplifier connector D-20 and ground in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 6.

NO: Repair them. The speakers should sound.

STEP 6. Check the DIN cable between amplifier and radio, tape player, CD player and CD auto changer.

Q: Are the DIN cable in good condition?
