Amplifier Power Supply Circuit Part 1:




Amplifier Power Supply Circuit Part 2:






CIRCUIT OPERATION
Power is supplied to the amplifier when the fusible link (4).

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
The cause is probably a faulty amplifier power supply circuit system.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- Damaged wiring harness or connector.
- Damaged DIN cable.
- Malfunction of the amplifier.
- Malfunction of the radio and tape player.

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 voltage between terminal 10 and ground by backprobing.
- The measured value should be approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

Q: Does the measured voltage correspond with this range?

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 the connector. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. The speakers should sound.













STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between amplifier connector D-20 (terminal 10 and 2)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 wiring harness between amplifier connector D-20 (terminal 10 and 2) and fusible link 4. in good condition?

YES: There is no action to be taken.

NO: Repair the wiring harness. The speakers should sound.

STEP 4. Check the amplifier power supply circuit by backprobing.







1. Do not disconnect amplifier connector D-20.




2. Measure the resistance between terminal 1 and ground by backprobing.
3. Measure the resistance between terminal 9 and ground by backprobing.
- The measured value should be 2 ohm or less.

Q: Does the measured resistance value correspond with this range?

YES: Go to Step 7

NO: Go to Step 5.







STEP 5. Check amplifier connector D-20 for damage.

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

YES: Go to Step 6.

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







STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between amplifier connector D-20 (terminal 1 and 9) and ground.

Q: Are the wiring harness between amplifier connector D-20 (terminal 1 and 9) and ground in good condition?

YES: There is no action to be taken.

NO: Repair the wiring harness. The speakers should sound.

STEP 7. Check the DIN cable between amplifier and radio, tape player, CD player and CD auto changer.

Q: Are the DIN cable in good condition?

YES: Repair or replace the amplifier or radio, tape player, CD player and CD auto changer. The speakers should sound.

NO: Repair or replace the DIN cable. The speakers should sound.
