INSPECTION PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE
1. IDENTIFY COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE
(a) Enter diagnostic mode.
(b) Press preset switch "2" to change to "Detailed Information Mode".
(c) Identify the component shown by the sub-code.
HINT
* "P190" set by the radio receiver assembly is shown in the preceding illustration as an example.
* For details of the DTC display, refer to DTC Check/Clear Audio and Visual System (w/o Navigation System).
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT OF COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE
(a) Inspect the power source circuit of the component shown by the sub-code.
If the power source circuit is operating normally, proceed to the next step.
HINT
The satellite radio tuner is built into the radio receiver assembly. If there is a problem between the satellite radio tuner and radio receiver assembly, replace the radio receiver assembly.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.
3. INSPECT RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY
(a) Disconnect the radio receiver assembly connectors.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:

NG -- REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER ASSEMBLY Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
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 Audio and Visual System (w/o Navigation System).
(a) Referring to the AVC-LAN wiring diagram below, check the AVC-LAN circuit between the multi-media interface ECU and component shown by the sub-code.
(1) Disconnect all connectors between the multi-media interface ECU and component shown by the sub-code.
(2) Check for an open or short in the AVC-LAN circuit between the multi-media interface ECU and component shown by the sub-code.
OK:
There is no open or short circuit.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. REPLACE COMPONENT SHOWN BY SUB-CODE
(a) Replace the component shown by the sub-code with a known good one and check if the same problem occurs again.
OK:
Malfunction disappears.
NG -- REPLACE MULTI-MEDIA INTERFACE ECU Removal
OK -- END

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.
