Lexus NX: Mute Signal Circuit between Stereo Component Amplifier and Telematics Transceiver

Lexus NX Service Manual / Audio & Visual & Telematics / Navigation / Multi Info Display / Navigation System / Mute Signal Circuit between Stereo Component Amplifier and Telematics Transceiver

DESCRIPTION

This DCM (telematics transceiver) sends a mute signal to the stereo component amplifier assembly. The stereo component amplifier assembly controls the volume according to the mute signal from the DCM (telematics transceiver).

If there is an open in the circuit, noise can be heard from the speakers when changing the sound source.

If there is a short in the circuit, even though the stereo component amplifier assembly is functioning normally, no sound or only an extremely faint sound can be heard.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the DCM (telematics transceiver), make sure to replace it with a new one.

HINT:

Depending on the parts that are replaced during vehicle inspection or maintenance, performing initialization, registration or calibration may be needed. Refer to Precaution for Navigation System.
