(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. [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, 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.
