    2. Premium Model:

      Measure the resistance between each of the front No. 2 speakers and the stereo component amplifier to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    3. Standard Model:

      Measure the resistance between each of the front No. 2 speakers and the radio receiver to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    4. Premium Model:

      Measure the resistance between each of the front No. 1 speakers and the stereo component amplifier to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    5. Standard Model:

      Measure the resistance between each of the front No. 2 speakers and each of the front No. 1 speakers to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    6. Premium Model:

      Measure the resistance between each of the rear speakers and the stereo component amplifier to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    7. Standard Model:

      Measure the resistance between each of the rear speakers and the radio receiver to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    8. Measure the resistance between each speaker and body ground to check for a short circuit in the wire harness.

      Standard resistance: 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go To Next Step 

  2. INSPECT FRONT NO. 1 SPEAKER 
    1. Resistance check.
      1. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the speaker.

        Standard resistance: 

        Premium Model: 1.8 to 2.6 Ω. 

        Standard Model: Approximately 4 Ω 

      NG: REPLACE FRONT NO. 1 SPEAKER 

      OK: Go To Next Step 

  3. INSPECT FRONT NO. 2 SPEAKER 
    1. Check that the malfunction disappears when another speaker in good condition is installed.

      OK: Malfunction disappears. 

      HINT:

    • Connect all the connectors to the front No. 2 speaker.
    • When there is a possibility that either the right or left front speaker is detective, inspect by interchanging the right one with the left one.
    • Perform the above inspection on both LH and RH sides.

    OK: REPLACE FRONT NO. 2 SPEAKER 

    NG: Go To Next Step 

  4. CONFIRM MODEL

  5. INSPECT REAR SPEAKER 
    1. Woofer speaker:
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
        NOTE: The speaker should not be removed for checking.

      Tester connection Condition Specified condition
      2-4  Always 1.8 to 2.6 Ω
    2. Tweeter speaker:
    1. Check that the malfunction disappears when another rear speaker in good condition is installed.

      OK: Malfunction appears. 

      HINT:

    • Connect all the connectors to the rear speaker.
    • When there is a possibility that either the right or left rear speaker is detective, inspect by interchanging the right one with the left one.

      NG: REPLACE REAR SPEAKER 

      OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  

  6. INSPECT REAR SPEAKER 
    1. Resistance check.
      1. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the speaker.

        Standard resistance: Approximately 4 Ω 

        NG: REPLACE REAR SPEAKER 

        OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
