Inspection Procedure
- CHECK OF SPEAKER INSTALLATION
- Check speaker installation condition.
- Check that each speaker is securely installed.
Standard: malfunction disappear.
- Check that each speaker is securely installed.
HINT:
The radio is equipped with noise prevention system that does not work against the regular use of the radio, thereby excessively large noise cannot occur in the radio. If large noise occurs, check whether or not the earth on the antenna installation part and the proper noise-prevention equipment are all installed, and whether or not the improper wiring is held.
CONDITIONCondition in which noise occurs Noise type Depressing the acceleration pedal increases noise, and stopping the engine erases the noise immediately. Alternator noise Noise occurs during the A/C or the heater operation. Blower motor noise Rapid acceleration during the drive on the unpaved road or after the IG switch is turned ON makes noise.
