STEP 4. Check the speaker, tweeter or subwoofer.

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

Q: Does the speaker, tweeter or subwoofer output the noise?

YES : Go to Step 5.

NO : Replace the speaker, tweeter or subwoofer.

STEP 5. Check audio amplifier connector D-125 or D-126 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is audio amplifier connector D-125 or D-126 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.

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

STEP 6. Check the wiring harness between the speaker or tweeter connector terminal and the audio amplifier connector terminal.

Check the communication lines for open circuit.
- Check the wiring harness between front door speaker (LH) connector E-13 (terminal 1, 2) and audio amplifier connector D-25 (terminal 28, 38).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connectors C-22 and C-125 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-22 or C-125 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in general (electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

- Check the wiring harness between front door speaker (RH) connector E-11 (terminal 1, 2) and audio amplifier connector D-25 (terminal 27, 37).
