Inspection Procedure 8

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 8: No sound from tweeter or quarter speaker. [Vehicles with audio amplifier]


























CIRCUIT OPERATION

The sound signals are sent from the radio and CD player with CD changer. After the signals are amplified and filtered, the sound signals are sent to the speaker.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

The cause is probably a faulty speaker circuit system.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

- Malfunction of the tweeter.
- Malfunction of the quarter door speaker.
- Damaged wiring harness or connector.
- Malfunction of the radio and CD player with CD changer.

YES Replace the radio and CD player with CD changer. The tweeter (RH) should sound.

NO Repair the wiring harness. The tweeter (RH) should sound.

STEP 8. Check the quarter speaker (LH).

(1)Remove the quarter speaker (LH). Refer to Service and Repair.





(2)Check that the quarter speaker (LH) generates noise when a five-volt voltage is applied on the quarter speaker (LH) terminal.

Q. Is the quarter speaker (LH) generating noise?

YES Go to Step 9.

NO Replace the quarter speaker (LH). The quarter speaker (LH) should sound.

STEP 9. Check quarter speaker (LH) connector D-14 and radio and CD player with CD changer connector C-117 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.













Q. Are harness connectors D-14 and C-117 in good condition?

YES Go to Step 10.

NO Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Harness Connector Inspection. The quarter speaker (LH) should sound.

STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between quarter speaker (LH) connector D-14 (terminals 1 and 2) and radio and CD player with CD changer connector C-117 (terminals 2 and 8).

















NOTE:
Also check intermediate connector C-23 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connector C-23 is damaged, repair or replace the connectors as described in Harness Connector Inspection Harness Connector Inspection.

Q. Is the wiring harness between the quarter speaker (LH) connector D-14 (terminals 1 and 2) and audio amplifier connector C-117 (terminals 2 and 8) in good condition?

YES Replace the radio and CD player with CD changer. The quarter speaker (LH) should sound.

NO Repair the wiring harness. The quarter speaker (LH) should sound.

STEP 11. Check the quarter speaker (RH).

(1)Remove the quarter speaker (RH). Refer to Service and Repair.





(2)Check that the quarter speaker (RH) generates noise when a five-volt voltage is applied on the quarter speaker (RH) terminal.

Q. Is the quarter speaker (RH) generating noise?

YES Go to Step 12.

NO Replace the quarter speaker (RH). The quarter speaker (RH) should sound.

STEP 12. Check quarter speaker (RH) connector D-05 and radio and CD player with CD changer connector C-117 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
