DESCRIPTION
Each unit of the audio system connected to the AVC-LAN (communication bus) transfers the signal of each switch by communication.
When a short to +B or short to ground occurs in this AVC-LAN, the audio system will not function normally as the communication is discontinued.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER

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 i ...
