- IDENTIFY COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE
- Enter the diagnostic mode.
- Press the preset switch "channel 3" to change to "Detailed Information Mode".
- Identify the component shown by the sub-code.
HINT:
- "190 (radio receiver assembly)" is the component shown by the sub-code in the example shown in the illustration.
- For details of the DTC display, refer to "DTC Check/Clear". Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
NEXT: Go to next step
- CHECK COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE
- Select the component shown by sub-code.
HINT:
The "Bluetooth" handsfree module is built into the radio receiver assembly. If there is a problem between the "Bluetooth" handsfree module and radio receiver assembly, replace the radio receiver assembly.

B → See step 8
A: Go to next step
- Select the component shown by sub-code.
- CHECK POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT OF COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE
- Inspect the power source circuit of the component shown by the sub-code.
HINT:
If the power source circuit is operating normally, proceed to the next step.

NG → See step 9
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the D133*1 and D60*2 radio receiver assembly connectors.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER - COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE)
HINT:
- Start the check from the circuit that is near the component shown by the sub-code first.
- For details of the connectors, refer to "Terminals of ECU". Refer to TERMINALS OF ECU .
- Referring to the wiring diagram below, check the AVC-LAN circuit between the radio receiver assembly ("Bluetooth" handsfree module) and the component shown by the sub-code.
- Disconnect all connectors between the radio receiver assembly ("Bluetooth" handsfree module) and the component shown by the sub-code.
- Check for an open or short in the AVC-LAN circuit between the radio receiver assembly ("Bluetooth" handsfree module) and the component shown by the sub-code.
OK
There is no open or short circuit.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- REPLACE COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE
- Replace the component shown by the sub-code with a normal one and check if the same problem occurs again.
OK
Malfunction disappears.
NG → See step 7
OK → END
- Replace the component shown by the sub-code with a normal one and check if the same problem occurs again.
- REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL
