DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK MUTE SWITCH CONTINUITY. Press the mute switch. Measure the resistance between satellite switch connector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. 2:	Is the resistance approx. 22 Ω?	Go to step 2.	Replace the satellite switch.
2 CHECK VOLUME SWITCH CONTINUITY. Press the volume switch. Measure the resistance between satellite switch connector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. 2: Volume up No. 1 - No. 2: Volume down	Is the resistance approx. 90 Ω? (Volume up) And is the resistance approx. 200 Ω? (Volume down)	Go to step 3.	Replace the satellite switch.
3 CHECK MODE SWITCH CONTINUITY. Press the MODE switch. Measure the resistance between satellite switch connector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. 2:	Is the resistance approx. 360 Ω?	Go to step 4.	Replace the satellite switch.
4 CHECK SEEK SWITCH CONTINUITY. Press the seek switch. Measure the resistance between satellite switch connector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. 2: Seek up No. 1 - No. 2: Seek down	Is the resistance approx. 690 Ω? (Seek up) And is the resistance approx. 1.5 kΩ? (Seek down)	Go to step 5.	Replace the satellite switch.
5 CHECK SATELLITE SWITCH INSULATION. Not to operate the satellite switch. Measure the resistance between satellite switch connector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No.2:	Is the resistance approx. 4.7 kΩ?	Satellite switch is normal.	Replace the satellite switch.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
