Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Inspection Procedure
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TELEVISION DISPLAY ASSEMBLY - VIDEO TERMINAL)
- Disconnect the connectors from the video terminal and television display assembly.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION
.
Standard resistance:
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester connection Condition Specified condition CE - OPEN Always Below 1 Ω NTSC - NTS4 Always Below 1 Ω SGND - SGN5 Always Below 1 Ω NTSC - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher SGND - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: GO TO NEXT STEP
- INSPECT VIDEO (VIDEO ADAPTER) TERMINAL
- Reconnect the video (video adapter) terminal connector.
- Measure the waveform according to TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION
.
OK:
TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITIONTester connection Condition Specified condition NTSC - SGND External device is playing A waveform synchronized with display signals is output HINT:
The waveform pattern may differ from that shown in Fig 3 due to differences in oscilloscope setting. A normal video terminal operating condition can be determined if any waveform is output.
- Oscilloscope waveform
- Terminal: NTSC - Body ground
Setting: 200 mV/DIV, 10 s/DIV
Condition: DVD display is ON.
- Terminal: NTSC - Body ground
NG: REPLACE VIDEO TERMINAL
OK: RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL INSPECTION BECAUSE THE CHECK RESULT IS NORMAL

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.
