AUDIO SYSTEM

No radio reception or poor reception.

• Other audio sounds are normal.
• Any radio station cannot be received or 

poor reception is caused even after mov-
ing to a service area with good reception 
(e.g. a place with clear view and no ob-
stacles generating external noises).

Buzz/rattle sound from speaker

The majority of buzz/rattle sounds are not 
indicative of an issue with the speaker, usu-
ally something nearby the speaker is caus-
ing the buzz/rattle.

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

Description

INFOID:0000000009266708

The majority of the audio troubles are the result of outside causes (bad CD, electromagnetic interference,

etc.).

NOISE

The following noise results from variations in field strength, such as fading noise and multi-path noise, or

external noise from trains and other sources. It is not a malfunction.

• Fading noise: This noise occurs because of variations in the field strength in a narrow range due to moun-

tains or buildings blocking the signal.

• Multi-path noise: This noise results from the waves sent directly from the broadcast station arriving at the

antenna at a different time from the waves which reflect off mountains or buildings.

The vehicle itself can be a source of noise if noise prevention parts or electrical equipment is malfunctioning.

Check if noise is caused and/or changed by engine speed, ignition switch turned to each position, and opera-

tion of each piece of electrical equipment to determine the cause.

NOTE:

The source of the noise can be found easily by listening to the noise while removing the fuses of electrical

components, one by one.

Type of Noise and Possible Cause

Occurrence condition

Possible cause

Occurs only when engine is ON.

A continuous growling noise occurs. The speed of 
the noise varies with changes in the engine speed.

• Ignition components

A whistling noise occurs while the engine speed is 
high. A booming noise occurs while the engine is 
running and the lighting switch is ON.

• Generator

The occurrence of the noise is linked with the operation of the fuel pump.

• Fuel pump condenser

Noise only occurs when various 
electrical components are oper-
ating.

A cracking or snapping sound occurs with the op-
eration of various switches.

• Relay malfunction, audio unit malfunction

The noise occurs when various motors are operat-
ing.

• Motor case ground
• Motor

The noise occurs constantly, not just under certain conditions.

Poor ground of antenna feeder line

A cracking or snapping sound occurs while the vehicle is being driven, especially when 
it is vibrating excessively.

• Ground wire of body parts
• Ground due to improper part installation
• Wiring connections or a short circuit
