STEP 2. Check clock spring connector C-202 and C-204 for 
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are clock spring connector C-202 and C-204 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 steering wheel audio remote control 

switch should work normally.

STEP 3. Check the clock spring.
Check whether the clock spring is in good condition. Refer to 
GROUP 52B, Air bag module and clock spring 

P.52B-447

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the clock spring.

STEP 4. Check multivision display connector C-07 for 
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is multivision display connector C-07 in good 

condition?
YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer 

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. The steering wheel audio remote control 

switch should work normally.

STEP 5. Check the wiring harness between multivision 
display connector C-07 (terminal 53, 69) and clock spring 
connector C-204 (terminal 2, 3).
NOTE: Also check intermediate connector C-17 for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector. If intermediate connector C-17 is damaged, repair or 
replace the connector as described in GROUP 00E, Harness 
Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

.

• Check the communication lines for open and short circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between multivision display 

connector C-07 (terminal 53, 69) and clock spring 
connector C-204 (terminal 2, 3) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary.

STEP 6. Check steering wheel audio remote control switch 
connector C-213 for loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is steering wheel audio remote control switch 

connector C-213 in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer 

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. The steering wheel audio remote control 

switch should work normally.

STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between steering wheel 
audio remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 2, 
4) and clock spring connector C-202 (terminal 5, 4).

• Check the communication lines for open and short circuit.

Q: Is the wiring harness between steering wheel audio 

remote control switch connector C-213 (terminal 2, 4) 
and clock spring connector C-202 (terminal 5, 4) in good 
condition?
YES : Go to Step 8.
NO :  The wiring harness may be damaged or the 

connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. 
Repair the wiring harness as necessary.

STEP 8. Retest the system
Check whether you can operate the multivision display by 
using the steering wheel audio remote control switch.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer 

to GROUP 00, How to use 
Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points, How to 
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-15
