Circuit Description

2004 Toyota Matrix XR, FWD, StandardSECTION Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota Camry Solara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This circuit sends an operation signal from the steering pad switch to the radio receiver assy.

If there is an open in the circuit, the audio system cannot be operated by the steering pad switch.

If there is a short in the circuit, the same condition as that when the switch is continuously depressed occurs.

Therefore, not only the steering pad switch cannot operate the radio receiver assy, but also the radio receiver assy itself does not function.
