RADIO (JAPAN) – CIRCUIT OPERATION

CIRCUIT OPERATION

The audio system consists of a new head unit connected to a Radio Tune Switch, a waveband switch, a volume up and a volume down switch which are located on the fascia next to the Instrument Cluster. The system is also equipped with an amplifier, a subwoofer, a subwoofer amplifier and a CD changer which is connected to the Radio with a DIN cable. The amplifier is connected to power via a Power Amplifier Relay which is energised with Ignition on. The control head is equipped with an anti-theft feature which makes the unit inoperative once battery power is removed. A security code must be entered to restore power to the unit. The system is equipped with two rear and four front speakers. Battery voltage is provided to the control head at all times through the P wire. In addition to monitoring the anti-theft feature, this input keeps the preset station memory alive. Whenever battery power to the unit is lost, the anti-theft code must be entered and the preset stations must be reprogrammed. When the Radio (Z111) and the ignition are turned on, the voltage signal through the LGO wire and the control head  wakes up
the unit. The Radio (Z111) plays, the VF display comes on, and the control unit buttons illuminate. The VF display is dimmed when the headlights or park lights are turned on. When the lights are on, voltage from fuse F8 of the Fascia Fusebox (P126) is applied to the Radio (Z111) terminal 6, Connector 230 signalling the Radio (Z111) to dim the display.
