1. Remove the speaker, tweeter or subwoofer.
2. Check that the subwoofer or tweeter outputs the noise when the voltage of 5 V is applied to the subwoofer or tweeter connector terminal. [speaker or tweeter]
3. Check that the subwoofer outputs the noise when the voltage of 5 V is applied to the subwoofer connector terminal. [subwoofer]

Q : Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.

NO : Replace the speaker or tweeter or subwoofer.

STEP 5. Check audio amplifier connector D-29 [front door speaker or sub woofer] or D-30 [rear door speaker or tweeter] for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q : Is audio amplifier connector D-29 [front door speaker or sub woofer] or D-30 [rear door speaker or tweeter] in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.

NO : Repair or replace the damaged component (Refer to General (Electrical), Harness Connector Inspection).
