Inspection Procedure

  1. INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER 
    1. Disconnect the R32 controller connector.
    2. Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform between each terminal and body ground according to the conditions, as shown in the chart below.

      Signal waveform 

      SIGNAL WAVEFORM REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      R32-13 (L6-) - Body ground Audio sound is being produced A waveform synchronized with sound is output
      R32-14 (L6+) - Body ground Audio sound is being produced A waveform synchronized with sound is output
      R32-15 (R6-) - Body ground Audio sound is being produced A waveform synchronized with sound is output
      R32-16 (R6+) - Body ground Audio sound is being produced A waveform synchronized with sound is output

      NG: Go to step 2 

      OK: REPLACE MULTI-DISPLAY CONTROLLER (See  REMOVAL   ) 

  2. CHECK SATELLITE RADIO TUNER 
    1. Check if the satellite radio tuner is equipped on the vehicle.

      Result Proceed to
      w/ Satellite radio tuner A
      w/o Satellite radio tuner B

      B:  Go to step  5

      A: Go to Next Step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER - SATELLITE RADIO TUNER AND MULTI-DISPLAY CONTROLLER) 
    1. Disconnect the L53 receiver connector.
    2. Disconnect the R27 and R29 tuner connectors.
    3. Disconnect the R32 controller connector.
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

      OK: Go to Next Step 

  4. CHECK SATELLITE RADIO TUNER (OPERATION) 
    1. Replace the satellite radio tuner with a normal one and check if the same problem occurs again (see REMOVAL  ).

      OK: 

      Same problem does not occur. 

      NG: REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER (See  REMOVAL   ) 

      OK: END (SATELLITE RADIO TUNER IS DEFECTIVE) 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER - MULTI-DISPLAY CONTROLLER) 
    1. Disconnect the L53 receiver connector.
    2. Disconnect the R32 controller connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
