DESCRIPTION
This circuit sends a signal to the stereo component amplifier to mute noise. Because of that, the noise produced by changing the sound source ceases.
If there is an open in the circuit, noise can be heard from the speakers when changing the sound source.
If there is a short in the circuit, even though the stereo component amplifier is normal, no sound, or only an extremely small sound, can be produced.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 INSPECT STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER

Standard voltage

2 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO AND NAVIGATION ASSEMBLY - STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER)

Standard resistance

3 REPLACE STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER
OK: The navigation system operates normally
REPLACE RADIO AND NAVIGATION ASSEMBLY

1. DATA LIST
HINT:
Reading the DATA LIST displayed on an intelligent tester
enables values, including those of the switches, sensors,
and actuators, to be checked without removing any
parts. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step in
troubleshooting is one method to shorten diagnostic
time.
