Check the electrical signal at the appropriate pin of a connector
mated to the radio connector in question. If the expected connector
signal is not present, go to
If the expected signal is present, there might be no fault on that line
or there could be an intermittent fault. Subject the radio to mild
mechanical shock or vibration, or to a temperature change. This
might expose any intermittent contact, in which case go to
If the expected signal is not present, check whether the expected
internal signal is present. If it is, go to
The fault lies with the radio's internal circuitry. If the power-supply
circuitry or the CODEC and audio circuitry is suspect, continue with
the fault diagnosis as in "Power Supply Fault Finding" on page 153
and "CODEC and Audio Fault Finding" on page 371
the digital board is suspect, replace the main-board assembly and go

The fault lies in the filtering, basic processing, or connector for the
line under test. Re-solder components or replace damaged or faulty
components as necessary. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to
