NOTE:

For self diagnosis of the audio system, there is a communications check (communication condition between the audio and the control panel) and a switch check. Perform a communications check first and make sure it is operating normally before proceeding to the inspection of switches.
Complete operations from when the self diagnosis mode of step 1 operates and the buzzer sounds, to pressing the preset 1 switch in 3, within 15 seconds. If more than 15 seconds pass, a communications error will be displayed.
During the diagnosis, do not press the "POWER (8), FM/AM (12), SAT (14), CD (11), RSE AUX (13)" switches. Pressing these switches will disengage the self diagnosis mode. However, CD, RSE, AUX and SAT will be canceled only with a disc loaded or unit connected.
