PRECAUTION
Take care to observe the doing precautions when performing inspections or removal and replacement of
body electrical related parts.
1. HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special handling. They can burst if scratched or
dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case.
Don’t touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.
2. SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM)
The SUPRA is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and front
passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including re-
moval or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices in the
RS section.
3. AUDIO SYSTEM
 If the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the preset AM, FM 1 and FM 2 sta-
tions stored in memory are erased, so be sure to note the stations and reset them after the battery
terminal is reconnected.
 If the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the ”ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM” will
operate when the cable is reconnected, but the radio, tape player and CD player will not operate. Be
sure to input the correct ID number so that the radio, tape player and CD player can be operated again.
4. MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to precautions in the IN section.

AUDIO SYSTEM BE0EM-01

DESCRIPTION
1. RADIO WAVE BAND

The radio wave bands used in radio broadcasting are as follows:

Frequency 30 kHz 300 kHz 3 MHz 30 MHz 300 MHz

Designation LF MF HF VHF

Radio wave AM FM

Modulation method Amplitude modulation Frequency modulation

LF: Low frequency MF: Medium Frequency HF: High Frequency VHF: Very High Frequency

2. SERVICE AREA
There are great differences in the size of the service area for AM
and FM monaural. Sometimes FM stereo broadcasts cannot be
received even through AM can be received in very clearly.
Not only does FM stereo have the smallest service area, but it
FM (Stereo) also picks up static and other types of interference (”noise”)
FM (Monaural) easily.
AM

BE2818

3. RECEPTION PROBLEMS
Besides the problem of static, there are also the problems
called ”fading”, ”multipath” and ”fade out”. These problems are
caused not by electrical noise but by the nature of the radio
waves themselves.

Fading (a) Fading


Ionosphere
Besides electrical interference, AM broadcasts are also
susceptible to other types of interference, especially at
night. This is because AM radio waves bounce off the ion-
osphere at night. These radio waves then interfere with
the signals from the same transmitter that reach the ve-
hicle’s antenna directly. This type of interference is called
”fading”.

BODY ELECTRICAL - AUDIO SYSTEM

(b) Multipath
Multipath
One type of interference caused by the bounce of radio
waves off of obstructions is called ”multipath”. Multipath
occurs when a signal from the broadcast transmitter an-
tenna bounces off buildings and mountains and interferes
with the signal that is received directly.

BE2820

(c) Fade Out


Fade Out Because FM radio waves are of higher frequencies than
AM radio waves, they bounce off buildings, mountains,
and other obstructions. For this reason, FM signals often
seem to gradually disappear or fade away as the vehicle
goes behind a building or other obstruction. This is called
”fade out”.

BE2821

4. COMPACT DISC PLAYER


Compact Disc (hereafter called ”CD”) Players use a laser beam
pick-up to read the digital signals recorded on the CD and re-
produce analog signals of the music, etc. There are 4.7 in. (12
cm) and 3.2 in. (8 cm) discs in the CD player.
HINT:
Never attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player unit.
Do not insert any object other than a disc into the magazine.
NOTICE:
CD players use an invisible laser beam which could cause
hazardous radiation exposure. Be sure to operate the play-
er correctly as instructed.

5. Tape Player/Head Cleaning:


Example :
MAINTENANCE
Head Capstan
(a) Raise the cassette door with your finger.
Next, using a pencil or similar object, push in the guide.
(b) Using a cleaning pen or cotton applicator soaked in clean-
er, clean the head surface, pinch rollers and capstans.

6. CD Player/Disc Cleaning:
MAINTENANCE
If the disc gets dirty, clean the disc by wiping the surface from
the center to outside in the radial directions with a soft cloth.
NOTICE:
Do not use a conventional record cleaner or anti-static pre-
servative.

7. ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
HINT:
The words ”ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM” are displayed on the cas-
sette tape slot cover.
For operation instructions for the anti-theft system, please con-
sult the audio system section in the Owner’s Manual (hereafter
Cassette Tape Slot Cover
called O/M).
(a) Setting system
BE2826 The system is in operation once the customer has pushed
the required buttons and entered the customer-selected
3-digit ID number.
(Refer to the O/M section, ”Setting the anti-theft system”)
HINT:
 When the audio system is shipped, the ID number has not
been input, so the anti-theft system is not in operation.
 If the ID number has not been input, the audio system re-
mains the same as a normal audio system.
(b) Anti-theft system operation
If the normal electrical power source (Connector or bat-
tery terminal) is cut off, the audio system becomes inoper-
able, even if the power supply resumes.
(c) Canceling system
The ID number chosen by the customer is input to cancel
the anti-theft system
(Refer to the O/M section, ”If the system is activated”)
HINT:
To change or cancel the ID number, please refer to the O/M
”Cancelling the system”.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTICE:
When replacing the internal mechanism (computer part) of the audio system, be careful that no part
of your body or clothing comes in contact with the terminals of the leads from the IC, etc. of the re-
placement part (spare part).
HINT:
This inspection procedure is a simple troubleshooting which should be carried out on the vehicle during sys-
tem operation and was prepared on the assumption of system component troubles (except for the wires and
connectors, etc.).
Always inspect the trouble taking the following items into consideration.
 Open or short circuit of the wire harness
 Connector or terminal connection fault
 For audio systems with anti-theft system, troubleshooting items marked ( * ) indicate that ”Trou-
bleshooting for ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM” should be carried out first.

Wire Harness Side INSPECTION


1. INSPECT RELAY CIRCUIT
Disconnect the connector from the relay and inspect connector
on wire harness side, as shown in the chart.
If circuit is not as specified, replace the relay.

N07694

Tester connection Condition Specified condition


6 - Ground Constant Continuity
2-3 Constant Continuity
1 - Ground Constant Battery positive voltage
4 - Ground Ignition switch position ON Battery positive voltage
5 - Ground Ignition switch position ACC or ON Battery positive voltage
Ignition switch position ACC or ON
7 - Ground Battery positive voltage
and radio switch ON

8 - Ground Ignition switch position ACC or ON Battery positive voltage

2. INSPECT MOTOR ANTENNA


(a) Install antenna nut.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
1 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2.
(c) Check that the motor turns (moves upward).
NOTICE:
These tests must be done quickly (within 3 - 5 seconds) to
prevent the coil from burning out.
(d) Then, reverse the polarity, and check that the motor turns
the opposite way (moves downward).
NOTICE:
These tests must be done quickly (within 3 - 5 seconds) to
prevent the coil from burning out.
HINT:
When the motor is normal, lower the antenna to its lowest posi-
tion.
If operation is not as specified, replace the antenna motor as-
sembly.

INSTALLATION
INSTALL ANTENNA ROD
Insert (a) Insert the cable of the rod until it reaches the bottom.
HINT:
Front  When inserting the cable, the teeth on the cable must face
Teeth on toward the rear of the vehicle.
Cable  Insert the cable approx. 400 mm.

(b) Wind the cable to retract the rod by turning the ignition
switch to ”LOCK” position.
HINT:
 If the ignition switch is already in ”LOCK” position, do step
1 (c) first, then turn the ignition switch to ”ACC” position.
Twist
 In case the cable is not wound, twist it as shown in the il-
lustration.
 Even if the rod has not retracted fully, install the antenna
BE4674 nut and inspect the antenna rod operation. It will finally re-
tract fully.
(c) Inspect the antenna rod operation by pushing the radio
wave band select buttons.
