Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.?
     
NO
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated, go to step 2.
2.
Determine possible failure area (voice guidance output circuit, others):

Determine possible failure area (voice guidance output circuit, others)
?1.
Go into the System Diagnostic Mode, and use the speaker check mode.

Did all speakers produce a tone?

     
YES: With stereo amplifier
     
     
     
Go to step 3.
