OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC posi-
tion, the radio and CD player power can be turned
ON. With the radio and CD player power ON, when
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, the
power for radio and CD player is also turned OFF.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
Provided that the audio diagnosis code is not set, if
the power for radio and CD player cannot be turned
ON, the radio and CD player, or power supply circuit
for radio and CD player may have a problem, or the
option coding information may be inconsistent.
NOTE: From the fusible link to C-128 intermediate
connector, the Radio and CD player uses the same
power supply circuit as that of AUDIO display (centre
panel unit). Therefore, check first if the AUDIO dis-
play (centre panel unit) is displayed. If the AUDIO
display (centre panel unit) is not displayed, carry out
in advance the troubleshooting of "The radio and CD
player does not operate normally by operating the
audio control unit of the centre panel unit". (Refer to
.)

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunctions of radio and CD player

• Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU

• Malfunction of the DC/DC converter

• Option coding information inconsistency

• Damaged harness wires and connectors

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. ETACS-ECU coding data check
(1) Operate the M.U.T.-III to read the ETACS-ECU

option coding information (Refer to GROUP 00

−

Coding Table ).

(2) Check that the "AUDIO" is set to "Present."

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2.

NO :

Operate the M.U.T.-III to set the option
coding "AUDIO" to "Present," and check the
trouble symptom.

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III other system diagnosis code
Check if the diagnosis code is set to the ETACS-
ECU.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to

ETACS-ECU

− Troubleshooting .

NO :

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III other system data list
Check the input signal of ACC relay.

• Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.

OK: Normal condition is displayed.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4.

NO :

Refer to ETACS

− Input Signal Procedure 1

"The ignition switch (ACC) signal is not sent
to the ETACS-ECU" .

STEP 4. Connector check: C-103 radio and CD
player connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 5. Voltage measurement at C-103 radio and
CD player connector.
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the

wiring harness-side connector.

(2) Voltage between C-103 radio and CD player

connector terminal No.30 and the body earth

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 12.

NO :

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Connector check: C-65 DC/DC converter
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 7.

NO :

Repair the defective connector.

STEP 7. Voltage measurement at C-65 DC/DC
converter connector.
(1) Disconnect C-65 DC/DC converter connector,

and measure at the wiring harness side.

(2) Measure the voltage between terminal No.9 and

body earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8.

NO :

Go to Step 10.

STEP 8. Check the DC/DC converter.
Check the continuity of the DC/DC converter (Refer
to ).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 9.

NO :

Replace the DC/DC converter.

STEP 9. Check the wiring harness between C-65
DC/DC converter connector terminal No.1 and C-
103 radio and CD player connector terminal No.
30.

• Check the power supply line for open circuit and

short circuit.

NOTE: Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check
intermediate C-128 connector, and repair if neces-
sary.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 11

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 10. Check the wiring harness between C-65
DC/DC converter terminal No.9 and fusible link
(36) <Petrol> or (38) <Diesel>.

• Check the power supply line for open circuit and

short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

The trouble can be an intermittent

malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00, How to
use Troubleshooting/inspection Service
Points, How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunction ).

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 11. Check the wiring harness between C-
103 radio and CD player connector terminal
No.30 and fusible link (36) <Petrol> or (38)
<Diesel>

• Check the power supply line (battery power sup-

ply) for open circuit and short circuit.

NOTE: Prior to the wiring harness inspection, check
intermediate C-31, C-128 connector and ETACS-
ECU connector C-307 and C-311, and repair if nec-
essary.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 12.

NO :

Repair the wiring harness.
