CIRCUIT OPERATION

• If the remote controlled radio switch is operated, 

the output voltage will change. The radio, CD 
player and CD changer operates according to the 
change on the voltage. You can switch on/off the 
audio unit, control the mode and volume by the 
remote controlled radio switch (RH). You can 
select a CD track and pre-set radio station, and 
tune it by the remote controlled radio switch (LH). 
NOTE: You can switch on the audio unit by the 
remote controlled switch, but can not switch it off.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

If the system does not recognize the remote con-
trolled radio switches (RH), the clock spring or the 
radio, CD player and CD changer may be defective.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the remote controlled radio switch 

(RH)

• Malfunction of the radio, CD player and CD 

changer

• Malfunction of the clock spring

• Damaged wiring harness or connectors

DIAGNOSIS 

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Harness set

STEP 1. Measure the voltage at remote controlled radio 
switch power supply circuit at the clock spring connector 
C-306.
(1) Disconnect the clock spring connector C-306.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between clock spring connector C-306 

(radio, CD player and CD changer side) terminal 2 and 
ground.

• The measured value should be approximately 5 volts.

Q: Is the measured voltage approximately 5 volts?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check radio, CD player and CD changer connector 
C-117 and clock spring connector C-306 for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.
Q: Are radio, CD player and CD changer connector C-117 

and clock spring connector C-306 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer 

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. The remote controlled radio switch should 

work normally.

STEP 3. Check the wiring harness between radio, CD 
player and CD changer connector C-117 (terminal 50) and 
clock spring connector C-306 (terminal 2).
Q: Is the wiring harness between radio, CD player and CD 

changer connector C-117 (terminal 50) and clock spring 
connector C-306 (terminal 2) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness. The remote controlled 

radio switch should work normally.

STEP 4. Measure the resistance at remote controlled radio 
switch ground circuit to the clock spring connector C-306.
(1) Disconnect the clock spring connector C-306.

(2) Measure resistance between terminal 3 and ground.

• The measured value should be 2 ohm or less.

Q: Is the measured resistance 2 ohms or less?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check radio, CD player and CD changer connector 
C-117 and clock spring connector C-306 for loose, 
corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back 
in the connector.
Q: Are radio, CD player and CD changer connector C-117 

and clock spring connector C-306 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair or replace the component(s). Refer to GROUP 

00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. The 

remote controlled radio switch should work normally.
