When replacing the radio receiver assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a radio receiver assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the following may occur:
- A communication malfunction DTC may be stored.
- The radio receiver assembly may not operate normally.
- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
PROCEDURE
| 1. | CHECK DTC |
(a) If DTC B15C3 is output, perform troubleshooting for DTC B15C3 first.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| DTC B15C3 is not output. | A |
| DTC B15C3 is output. | B |
| B |  | GO TO DTC B15C3 |
|
| 2. | CHECK OPTIONAL COMPONENTS (INCLUDING ASSOCIATED WIRING) |
(a) Check that optional components (including associated wiring) which generate radio waves are not installed.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Optional components (including associated wiring) are installed. | A |
| Optional components (including associated wiring) are not installed. | B |
HINT:
- Electrical noise from radio waves generated by optional components or the wiring for those components may affect AVC-LAN communication.
- This DTC may be stored when an AVC-LAN communication error occurs due to electrical noise.
| B | | GO TO STEP 4 |
|
| 3. | REMOVE OPTIONAL COMPONENTS (INCLUDING ASSOCIATED WIRING) |
(a) Remove optional components (including associated wiring).
NOTICE:
Do not remove optional components or associated wiring without the permission of the customer.
|
| 4. | CHECK DTC |
(a) Clear the DTCs.
Body Electrical > Navigation System > Clear DTCs(b) Recheck for DTCs and check that no DTCs are output.
Body Electrical > Navigation System > Trouble CodesOK:
No DTCs are output.
| OK | | END |
|
| 5. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY POWER SOURCE) |
(a) Disconnect the G11 and G9 stereo component amplifier assembly connectors.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G11-3 (GND) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| G11-18 (GND2) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G11-1 (+B) - G11-3 (GND)* | Always | 11 to 14 V |
| G11-16 (+B2) - G11-3 (GND) | Always | 11 to 14 V |
| G9-12 (ACC) - G11-3 (GND) | Engine switch on (ACC) | 11 to 14 V |
- *: for 17 Speakers
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 6. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the G6 radio receiver assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the G9 stereo component amplifier assembly connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G6-17 (TX2+) - G9-8 (TX+) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| G6-18 (TX2-) - G9-7 (TX-) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| G6-17 (TX2+) or G9-8 (TX+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| G6-18 (TX2-) or G9-7 (TX-) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 7. | REPLACE STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER ASSEMBLY |
(a) Replace the stereo component amplifier assembly with a new or known good one.
