Speaker Troubleshooting
Basic Inspection
Loosen the screws to avoid interference from body trim and surrounding parts, then remove the speaker.
After removing the speaker, check the speaker sound quality with the connector connected.
Check by each cause
Abnormal vibration
Make sure the mounting screws are properly tightened before replacing the speaker.
Reinstall the speaker and check that the problem is resolved.
If the symptom does not disappear, replace the speaker with a new one.
Noise
Make sure the speaker connector is properly connected, and reconnect the connector if necessary.
If noise occurs in radio mode, turn on the CD player mode.
If noise occurs in both modes, replace the speaker with a new one.
Poor Performance
Check the resistance between the positive (+) and negative (-) speaker terminals using an ohmmeter.
If the measured resistance is lower than the specified value, the speaker is operating normally.
If the measured resistance differs from the specified value, replace the speaker.
