REPLACE FRONT NO. 2 SPEAKER ASSEMBLY

REPLACE FRONT NO. 2 SPEAKER ASSEMBLY

(a) Replace the front No. 2 speaker assembly with a new or known good one (See page ).

(b) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

OK:

No DTCs are output.

HINT:

Connect all the connectors to the front No. 2 speaker assemblies that were disconnected.
When there is a possibility that either the right or left front No. 2 speaker assembly is defective, inspect by interchanging the right one with the left one.
Perform the above inspection on both the LH and RH side.

END
