Speaker Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The sound signal that has been amplified by the stereo component amplifier or radio receiver (built-in amp) is sent to the speakers from the stereo component amplifier or radio receiver through this circuit.
If there is a short in this circuit, the stereo component amplifier detects it and stops output to the speakers.
Thus sound cannot be heard from the speakers even if there is no malfunction in the stereo component amplifier or speakers.

WIRING DIAGRAM









INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
(a) Separate type amplifier:
Disconnect the connectors shown in the illustration on the left from the stereo component amplifier and speakers.









(b) Built-in type amplifier:
Disconnect the connectors shown in the illustration on the left from the radio receiver and speakers.





(c) Separate type amplifier:
Measure the resistance between each speaker and the stereo component amplifier to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ohms





(d) Built-in type amplifier:
Measure the resistance between each speaker and the radio receiver to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.





(e) Measure the resistance between each speaker and body ground to check for a short circuit in the wire harness.
Standard resistance:
10 kOhms or higher
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK VEHICLE TYPE
(a) Choose type to be inspected.





B -- INSPECT FRONT NO. 1 SPEAKER
A -- Continue to next step.
3. INSPECT NO. 1 WOOFER BOX SPEAKER





(a) Resistance check.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

NOTE: The speaker should not be removed for checking.

Standard resistance:





NG -- REPLACE NO. 1 WOOFER BOX SPEAKER
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. INSPECT FRONT NO. 1 SPEAKER
(a) Resistance check.
(1) Measure the resistance between the terminals of the speaker.
Standard resistance:
Separate Type Amplifier
2.3 to 2.9 Ohms
Built-in Type Amplifier
3.4 to 4.6 Ohms
NG -- REPLACE FRONT NO. 1 SPEAKER
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. INSPECT FRONT NO. 2 SPEAKER
(a) Check that malfunction disappears when another speaker in good condition is installed.
OK:
Malfunction disappears.

HINT:
- Connect all the connectors to the speakers.
- When there is a possibility that either right or left front speaker is detective, inspect by interchanging the right one and the left one.

OK -- REPLACE FRONT NO. 2 SPEAKER
NG -- Continue to next step.
6. INSPECT REAR SPEAKER
(a) Resistance check.
(1) Measure the resistance between the terminals of the speaker.
Standard resistance:
Separate Type Amplifier
1.6 to 2.0 Ohms
Built-in Type Amplifier
3.4 to 4.6 Ohms
NG -- REPLACE REAR SPEAKER
OK -- PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
