Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Camry Solara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 
    1. Disconnect the connectors shown in the illustration on the left from the stereo component amplifier assembly or the radio receiver assembly and speakers.

    2. Measure the resistance between the speaker and the stereo component amplifier assembly or the radio receiver assembly to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.

      Standard resistance: Below 1 Ω 

    3. Measure the resistance between the speaker and body ground to check for a short circuit in the wire harness.

      Standard resistance: 10 kΩ or higher 

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  2. CHECK VEHICLE TYPE 
    1. Choose type to be inspected.

    1. Resistance check.
      1. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
        NOTE: The speaker should not be removed for checking.

        Standard resistance 

        STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

        Tester connection Condition Specified condition
        1-2 Always 0.81 to 1.61 Ω
        3-4 Always 0.81 to 1.61 Ω

    NG: REPLACE WOOFER BOX SPEAKER ASSEMBLY NO.1 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  4. INSPECT FRONT NO. 1 SPEAKER 
    1. Resistance check.
      1. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the speaker.

        Standard resistance: 

        Separate Type Amplifier System (Coupe): 3 to 4 Ω 

        Separate Type Amplifier System (Convertible): 4 to 6 Ω 

        Built-in Type Amplifier System: 3.2 to 4.8 Ω 

    NG: REPLACE FRONT NO. 1 SPEAKER 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  5. INSPECT FRONT NO. 2 SPEAKER 
    1. Check that malfunction disappears when another speaker in good condition is installed.

      OK: Malfunction disappears. 

      HINT:

      • Connect all the connectors to the speakers.
      • When there is a possibility that either right or left front speaker is detective, inspect by interchanging the right one and the left one.

    OK: REPLACE FRONT NO. 2 SPEAKER 

    NG: Go to Next Step 

  6. INSPECT REAR SPEAKER 
    1. Resistance check.
      1. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the speaker.

        Standard resistance: 

        Separate Type Amplifier System (Coupe): 1.75 to 2.75 Ω 

        Separate Type Amplifier System (Convertible): 2 to 2.8 Ω 

        Built-in Type Amplifier System (Convertible): 5.1 to 6.9 Ω 

        Built-in Type Amplifier System (Coupe): Approximately 4 Ω 

    NG: REPLACE REAR SPEAKER 

    OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN ON  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
