No Sound Is Heard From One of the Speakers. [Vehicles Without Audio Amplifier]

Inspection Procedure 3: No Sound is Heard from one of the Speakers.

Speaker System Circuit (Part 1):




Speaker System Circuit (Part 2):






COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
If the sound is not heard from one of the speakers, the speaker, audio visual navigation unit, communication line from the audio visual navigation unit to the speaker may have a problem. Also, the option coding information may be inconsistent.

PROBABLE CAUSES
- Malfunction of speaker
- Malfunctions of audio visual navigation unit
- Option coding information inconsistency
- Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
- MB991223: Harness Set
- MB992006: Extra Fine Probe
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. ETACS-ECU coding data check

1. Operate scan tool MB991958 to read the ETACS-ECU option coding information. (Refer to general (Body and Chassis) Coding Table)
2. Check that the "Speaker" is set to "6 speakers".

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.

NO : Operate scan tool MB991958 to set the option coding "Speaker" to "Premium," and check the trouble symptom.

STEP 2. Checking with audio speaker check

Perform the audio speaker check, and check which speaker does not output the sound. Service Mode

NOTE: In the following procedure, check the speaker or tweeter that is abnormal.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES (normal for all) : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to general (Body and Chassis) How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction).

NO (abnormal for all) : Check the audio visual navigation unit power supply and ground circuit, and repair if necessary. If the audio visual navigation unit power supply and ground circuit is normal, replace the audiovisual navigation unit.

NO (Either a speaker is abnormal) : Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check door speaker connector E-13 , E-11 , E-23 or E-24 , or tweeter connector E-02 or E-03 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is door speaker connector E-13 , E-11 , E-23 or E-24 , or tweeter connector E-02 or E-03 in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.

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

STEP 4. Check the speaker or tweeter.

1. Remove the speaker or tweeter.
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.

Q: Does the speaker or tweeter output the noise?

YES : Go to Step 5.

NO : Replace the speaker or tweeter.

STEP 5. Check audio visual navigation unit connector C-14 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is audio visual navigation unit connector C-14 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 visual navigation unit 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 visual navigation unit connector C-14 (terminal 12, 3).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connectors C-22 and C-105 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-22 or C-105 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 visual navigation unit connector C-14 (terminal 15, 7).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connectors C-22 and C-105 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-22 or C-105 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in general (electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

- Check the wiring harness between rear door speaker (LH) connector E-23 (terminal 1, 2) and audio visual navigation unit connector C-14 (terminal 11, 2).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connectors C-22 and C-105 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-22 or C-105 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in general (electrical) Harness Connector Inspection.

- Check the wiring harness between rear door speaker (RH) connector E-24 (terminal 1, 2) and audio visual navigation unit connector C-14 (terminal 16, 8).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connectors C-22 and C-105 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-22 or C-105 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in general (electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

- Check the wiring harness between tweeter (LH) connector E-02 (terminal 2, 1) and audio visual navigation unit connector C-14 (terminal 12, 3).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connectors C-22 and C-105 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-22 or C-105 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in general (electrical), Harness Connector Inspection.

- Check the wiring harness between tweeter (RH) connector E-03 (terminal 2, 1) and audio visual navigation unit connector C-14 (terminal 15, 7).

NOTE: Also check intermediate connectors C-22 and C-105 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-22 or C-105 is damaged, repair or replace the connector as described in general (electrical) Harness Connector Inspection.

Q: Is the wiring harness between the speaker or tweeter connector terminal and the audio amplifier connector terminal in good condition?

YES : Replace the audio visual navigation unit.

NO : The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary.
